Subject: Where do I find Paul's death in Rome? |
Bible Note: My friend, Emmaus, I agree that false teaching came early into the church and it is still around today. Peter said way back then (2 Peter 2:1) that "there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you". How do we combat their teachings? I think of the words of the Lord. In Mathew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures". The scriptures. The scriptures. That is what keeps us from erring. We must know the scriptures. I have read a few secular books in my time. In some circles I cannot say this, but I'll say here: I have lost my taste for them. I either find to be in agreement with the scriptures, in which case I find them superfluous, or they are in disagreement with the scriptures and I find them distasteful. I still read one now and then, even as I read the postings on the forums. But mostly, I must say, I read the Bible. |
