2Pet
2:1 KJV
¶But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there
shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves
swift destruction.
There
are such things as heresies, and they are damnable; they are falsehood promoted
by false prophets and false teachers. False prophets and false teachers are
real prophets and real teachers who sincerely teach falsehood, i.e. damnable
heresies.
You don't want to be under their ministry, do you?
The ministry of
such will ruin you.
So, be careful; ignorance is no bliss in this case.
And
they may be in your midst, may even be your own pastors and elders, or seminary
Profs, lecturers, and instructors.
How
do we recognize them? We need to be grounded in the truth of the gospel in order
to be able to spot and recognize falsehood and fables; if we are not acquainted
with the genuine, we are unable to discern the counterfeits and fakes. We will
be like little children, tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine.
Ephesians
4 - KJV
11
¶ And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and
some, pastors and teachers;
12
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ:
13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of
Christ:
14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is
the head, even Christ:
A
faithful ministry saves BOTH he who ministers and those who are ministered.
1
Timothy 4:16 KJV — Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in
them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Of
course, of course, EVERYONE thinks he is
sitting under a faithful and sound ministry!!! But by the grace and mercy of
God, some will be given discernment. Amen.
