False Teachings Answered
(Links to articles at bottom of page)
The
word of God commands us to “earnestly contend for the faith” in Jude 3.
We are told in 1 John 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try
the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out
into to world.”
Unfortunately,
not every thing that “sounds Christian” is sound Christian doctrine. The
devil has slipped false teaching and misunderstandings into the Church. The
devil, being as slick as he is, counterfeits the truth in order to promote false
teachings within the Church under the guise of “Christianity” to deceive the
minds of men. Satan has his own “pseudo-Christianity.” This false Christian
religious system comes in many shapes and shades, each having its own Bibles,
Preachers, and Churches.
The
great apostle Paul expressed his concern in 2 Corinthians 11:3-4, 13-15:
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his
subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in
Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not
preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or
another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him For such
are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles
of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of
light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as
the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
It
is the minister of the Gospel’s duty to expose doctrinal errors and to explain
doctrinal truths. This reveals the dual aspects of teaching the Bible. 1)
The NEGATIVE aspect is to expose false doctrines. 2) The POSITIVE aspect is to
explain why they are wrong and to “[expound] the way of truth more
perfectly.” (Acts 18:26).
This
section of our web page is dedicated to pointing out false teachings found
within the religious world that confuse the unsaved and confound many
Christians. Remember the words of the Bible: “For there must be also heresies
among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.” (1
Corinthians 11:19). It is up to the Bible-believing Christian and the sincere
seeker of Truth to discern what is right by the Grace of God.
We
hope that you receive much benefit from these articles.
