Bible Question (short): Nolan where was the leader in all of thi |
Question (full): Nolan if I can paraphrase what you said, in the case of these two nominal Christians their need for acceptance overrode the warning signs they sometimes saw. How did the leader play into this, would he soothe their concerns or was he unapproachable and therefore intimidating, or did he control and manipulate them into submission? What I’m looking for the role of the leader in all of this. You already said he was teaching junk, was that all? Many times people think to be a false teacher as spoken about various places in the Bible you have to be teaching heresy, I submit you can also be a false teacher by how you influence people. Some false teachers intimidate, control, manipulate, and exploit people to accomplish their desires. |
