5 Things you need to know about false teachers

There are some interesting things online but guard your time & your peace!

The internet in regards to Christian teaching is like drinking from a firehose; to much information from people that are not pastors or you don't know who they are, you don't know anything about their life, their marriage, their reputation, their lifestyle etc & they are looking for a gullible audience, who will even listen to absolute non-sense like: "flat earth", false accusations that are unprovable about Billy Graham, or other well known respectable preachers & worship leaders.

I don't know about you, but I found also there is increase of "know-it-all's" from

Anyway back to my main point:

Galatians 5:7-12 New King James Version

You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.

And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased. I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!

Paul speaks out against false teachers in the in the strongest of language. Here are 5 things we should know about people who try to subvert our faith:

1. The contradict the truth (5:7) False teachers plagued the church in Paul's day, and they continue to multiply as we move toward the end times (1 Tim 4:1-2, 2 Pet 2:1) In order to protect ourselves and each other from error, we must know the truth and be able to discern falsehood.

2. They are contrary to God (5:8) The Galatians were not called by God to legalism and the law. False teachers used the OT in their attempt to undermine Paul's teaching. Every cultist and false teacher tries to use the Bible to support his or her heresy.

3. They contaminate the church (5:9) Paul says that when false doctrine enters a church, it will begin permeating every area of the fellowship until it takes control of the entire body. This has been the experience of every church, college and seminary that has ultimately strayed from the truth of God's Word.

4. Their condemnation is certain (5:10) After expressing his confidence that the Galatians will ultimately choose the right path, Paul promises that those who have troubled them will face the Judgement of God (2 Pet 2:2, 3 &9)

5. They criticize teachers of truth (5:11) The Full Gospel is grievously offence to the pride of men. If we preach the whole Council of God, we shall arouse ridicule and oppostion.

   
   

   Keep this list close. As we approach the coming of Christ and the end of this age, we will need it.
