1 | Discernment of false teachings | Eph 4:11 | New Creature | 46096 | ||
Joe Yes we are a body not lone-rangers, we are called to community. It's just that in these days there are many "wolves in sheeps clothing" and as christians, we need to beware and be discerning. Many believers who are in groups, sects, congregations, religious bodies, have been found to be collectively deceived together. So merely belonging to a denomination, or a community of believers does not necessarily assure us of not being in error. Many individuals as well as bodies of believers are sincere in what they individually and corperately believe, but are yet sincerely wrong. Thats why the word of God, and the Holy Spirit are the only reliable safe-guards against individual, and corperate error and deception. The number of false teachers is on the rise in our times. "O God, the enemy has entered into Thy pastures and the sheep are torn and scattered. And false shepherds abound who deny the danger and laugh at the perils which surround Thy flock. The sheep are deceived by these hirelings and follow them with touching loyalty while the wolf close in to kill and destroy I beseech Thee, give me sharp eyes to detect the presence of the enemy; give me understanding to see and courage to report what I see faithfully. Save me from the curse of compromise." (Aiden Wilson Tozer) Even today many who desire Ecumenicalism, have compromised the truth in order to strive for unity. But I'd rather be divided by truth, than united by error. Blessing to you |

Hi New Creature, Did u mean that u prefer to be divided by truth in Love of liars and wolves in sheep's clothing, than united by error in Hate of liars and of wolves in sheeps' clothing?
