Truly secure or comfortably numb?
False Teachers In The Christian Church Are Leading People Astray
There are many professional manipulators of the truth, and these false teachers in the Christian Church, have a self serving agenda, and are presently unaccountable for their deadly and deceptive doctrines. Many that claim to be Christians are merely interested in being comfortable or secure in the doctrines of these men, and their many denominations. Far too many have a false sense of reality as a result of basing their Christian security on the vain words of these false teachers in the Christian Church. The deceptive teachings of men that are devoid of the Spirit of God, prevent their followers from growing in the Lord, or even having a true knowledge and intimate relationship with Him.
John 15:26-27 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Our teacher ultimately is the Holy Spirit that Christ sent to us. Once we have the infilling of His Spirit we can know truth, and these false teachers in the Christian Church are easily recognized as such.
Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Far too often, we hear this false prosperity message from the mouths of these false teachers in the Christian Church, “If you ask and believe all things will be yours” (Mat 21:22). However we ask and do not receive because we ask in the spirit of our own lusts. We have a fondness or love for the comforts of the world, and our prayers are towards health wealth and prosperity, all things that do indeed perish with the flesh.
Our greatest desires should be to receive the Comforter that enables us to understand His word of truth, and to seek first the kingdom of God (James 4:3-4; Math 6:33).
John 16:13-14 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Man is not the author of truth nor can he by himself fully understand truth. It is the Holy Spirit that shows us the truth, when we have submitted to the Lord and are in a position to receive it. If we think we have the truth by our own knowledge, we through pride have already prevented the Spirit from abiding in us. This is exactly what the false teachers in the Christian Church are counting on.
1 Cor 2:13-14 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Unfortunately too many people readily accept any thing that these false teachers in the Christian Church (which are also self proclaimed ministers of God) have to say. Unless the Holy Spirit has called them as teachers they should not be in this important position, and obviously speak with their own wisdom which is dangerous at best, and destructive at worst. There are of course men and women that are truly called to preach, but many who claim this calling are simply charlatans looking for fame and an easy buck at the expense of the gullible.
The simple believes every word but the wise considers all things (Prov 14:15; Rom 16:18).
Acts 20:28-30 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
We feel for these trusting individuals who are simply looking for direction, and the greater blame is to be placed on these false teachers in the Christian Church who lead them astray, up to a point. If one has submitted unto Jesus and is truly falling in love with the Word, the spirit will guide that individual unto the truth. Conversely if one is content to be comfortable in the teachings of man, and is merely a hearer of the word and not a doer, then the greater blame is to be placed upon that individual. We all are to fight a good fight, understand and finish the course set before us, and keep the faith.
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1 John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Many claim to keep the Ten Commandments, which were part of the old law; as a result of these works they claim to know Christ and can expect to receive from Him whatever they ask (James 4:3). Nothing could be further from the truth. These verses in first John refer to the two new commandments that Christ gave us. The old law and prophets were unto Christ, who then taught us His new law. The New Law of Christ is recorded for us in the first book of Christ’s new testimony (Math 22: 36-40).The false teachers in the Christian Church, need to keep people under the bondage of Old Testament, in part to keep the tithes coming in.
To claim to be justified by the old law is actually a separation from Christ, as you are fallen from grace and not led by the spirit of truth (Gal 5:4; Gal 5:18). You will never hear this truth presented by the false teachers in the Christian Church.
Rom 4:14 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Those that think they are under the old law, or feebly attempt to follow it, after the new law in Christ is established, are not partakers of the new promise and the inheritance. Many false teachers in the Christian Church, proclaim that we are still under the Old Testament law, and falsely teach that Salvation is accomplished through a formula of words to be recited. The Word tells us the elect are sealed unto the day of redemption, this also is our time of Salvation in Christ (Eph 4:30).
Christ never spoke of keeping the Sabbath. We are under no obligation to keep or observe this as a day of rest; we are however to keep every day holy as unto the Lord. When we spend an hour a week in a building called the church, as opposed to shining the light of Jesus and becoming the church (that is the assembly of all believers) , what profit is there for us or others. There is no profit in this pretend game of playing church that so many succumb to. There is however great profit for the false teachers in the Christian Church, who have convinced their congregation that the reality of Godliness they seem to possess, is as good as it gets.
John 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
