Bible Note: Dear Steve, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Thank you for the clarification. I see what you are saying. I just don't know if I would go as far as you are! :-) If we start saying that all 'false teachers' are unsaved and of satan, we can narrow the way to heaven more than would be comfortable, possibly even for ourselves. Some have a very broad definition of false that makes the 'saved' a very elite group. :-) Blessings and love in Christ Jesus, charis |
