Subject: completeness of the bible. |
Bible Note: False prophets are nothing new, of course. The Bible is sprinkled with warnings against them. Jesus had to deal with false teaching and hypocracy among the Jewish leaders, as did Paul and the other Apostles later among the early churches. You might show your friend these passages among others: Prov.12:17; Matt.24:24; 2 Cor.11:3-4, 12-15; Rev.20:10.... Let's pray that your friend at least will subscribe to the premise that the Bible is the authoritative, inerrant word of God. May the Lord be with you as you minister to your friend about Him. --Hank |
