Bible Note: False Teachers. Yes, Radioman2, the text is about people of faith who have turned away. But we are surrounded by people who fit this description, don't you think? People we need to reach out to. Of course, the corruptions of our era are a little different (I don't see too much licence happening during our love-feasts, for instance) but they are still present. So, it seems difficult to use such harsh language against people in our midst. Then again, let's not be sentimental. Loving, but not soft. |
