Hi humbled, What would have been the purpose for Jesus, Paul, and Peter to warn us about False Teachers, and Prophets. If we in this day, and age go about telling other believers, to seek out false teaching, in order to have a stronger position in witnessing. That is sending a brother, to go learn these damnable heresies. Matt. 7:15 15) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Col. 2:8 8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 2 Pet. 2 :1 1) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. Wouldn't a person doing that, open themselves up to temptation, and doubt? As warned. 2 Pet. 3:17 17) Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. We do not need to know what the enemy believes to defeat him, We need to know what we believe. Eph. 6:10-17 10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Be Blessed Matt. |

Matt: No doubt one would study the scriptures for themselves in a deep study first beginning with the gospels that tell the story of Christ Jesus as Messiah, Lord and Saviour. However, I disagree with you that it does no good to know what cults believe. Basically what they say about the death, burial and resurrection is key to understanding what they believe and taking that back to the plumb line of scripture we know exactly how to witness to them and proclaim the truth. A good website that shows does exactly that is 4truth.net. If I know what scriptures they use to twist scripture I will look more closely at those scriptures for the meaning myself. Indeed we are to focus on our study of scripture but if challenged we should be able to explain the scripture in question. A scripture that shows that believers did just that is Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. In fact we should use this principle for any and all that teach us scripture. |

Your welcome Steve and thank you for the website you mentioned as well. Heb 1:1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, Heb 1:2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. Heb 1:3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, Heb 1:4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they. |
