Dangers of False Doctrines

Dangers of False Doctrines

By Darren Morrison

1 Timothy 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3. Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truths. Heresies leave people hopeless when they think they have hope. They are things that sound good and true but lead to destruction. The cults of the world will use some truth, like putting poison in honey. They will tell us that certain meats are a sin to eat or that all meats are sinful. They will forbid us to marry or tell us when and to whom we can marry and even what we can do in the marriage bed. Telling priests they cannot marry is found nowhere in the bible. If your church has a doctrine that is found nowhere in the bible, then how to you weigh it as truth. The bible is our counterweight on the scale of truth, because we must weigh everything with the bible. If the bible says it, it is truth. If it is not found in there then it is false or trivial. If it were important for us to know it would be found in the bible.

This is a time of theological confusion and compromise. A time when so many people have turned aside the truth to follow after things that fit their personal beliefs. How often do I meet a person involved in a false doctrine say that the religion they are involved with matched what they believed so they joined. Psalms 58:3. The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Therefore if the bible is true, and it is, we must not follow after our own judgment.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. You see the bible warns us clearly about the false doctrines out there and we must be aware of them.

Romans 16:17. Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. So the word of GOD also instructs us what we are to do here and that is to mark them and then avoid them.

Titus 1:13. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14. Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. So we are to rebuke them, this also includes the person sitting next to you in church that will tell you false doctrines or fables. Within the patriot movement there are many fables today. So I do not have to wary about old Jewish fables so much but there are many fables out there told by so-called people of our faith. I was told that Christians we going to have to run and hide when the government comes to give out small pox vaccines. This is a fable and the bible doesn’t tell me to run but to stay and feed the flocks or to stay and preach the gospel.

Ephesians 5:11. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. That means we are not to allow the Jehovah witnesses into your house for tea. We can talk to them at our doorstep. But don’t let them into your house for discussion.

2 Thessalonians 3:6. Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. This may seem harsh in the standards of the world, but it is there so we don’t get caught up in their heresies or follow them into rebellion. 2 Timothy 3:5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. We are told in the word of GOD that we ought to turn away from those who turn toward false doctrines that deny the power of Jesus over sin and salvation. 2 John:10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11. For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. As I said do not let those who come with another doctrine into your house. Don’t bless them or offer then money. Tell them the truth, that which cometh from the word of GOD. Do not fellowship with them whatsoever. They are dangerous. 2 Thessalonians 3:14. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Titus 3:10. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;. We need to reject them that are a heretick. Of coarse we should witness to them in love, but not befriend them to the point were they can influence us. 2 Corinthians 6:17. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. We are to be separate from the world and we must remember to be separate from those who have a false doctrine. From the time of the early church even when the apostles were still walking the earth there were false doctrines. To us many false doctrines are obvious, but some are less obvious. Some can come from the person who visits your church. Some can grow inside people in your church many even next to you. Some times those who come to your door have false doctrines sometimes you hear it on Christian radio stations as well. Sometimes rebellion toward the government is told as if it were part of Christian doctrine, which it is not. Beware fellow believers. False doctrines are so thick these days. There are even churches out there that ordain women as Deacons and Bishops when the bible teaches otherwise. There are longhaired hippy-like Christians who want to live according to their way instead of GOD’s way. There are those who marry homosexuals and even ordain them as preachers. There are churches that teach the most, loony doctrines. If the bible says it, believe it and if it doe sn’t don’t. Beware brothers and sisters. Read your bible and pray every day. Attend a church where the bible is the only doctrine taught there, one where they teach out of no other books. I would recommend an unaffiliated independent fundamental Baptist church. Once you find a church that has the doctrine of the bible submit to it

I think this post from that site says it all:

I would like to know if the Driver's License and Registration issued by the Embassy of Heaven are legal documents and are they accepted by insurance companies and state authorities to allow you to drive on public highways?

LOL!!!!!!!!!

I know Catholicism is not mentioned in this post, but anyone who would post these verses from 1 Timothy is clearly "Catholic-bashing." Posting these verses that clearly state that these two Catholic doctrines are "doctrines of devils" should not be tolerated on this forum!!!

If we are all going to get along and be civil, certain parts of the Bible will just have to go!

In the picture, someone needs to cut the boat and put a surfboard under his feet. It almost looks like he's surfing, anyway.

Hippie AND beach bum.

I am reasonably sure that that is not an actual photograph.

1 Cor 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

I am not making this up. I was watching a certain (rock musical) the other day and my three year old saw "Jesus" on the screen and said "hippy."

I don't know where he learned that word. "Hippy" in the Stormhands household usually means my jeans don't fit like they used to...

***if a man have long hair***

Define long (centimeters or inches) and demonstrate that this is the precise measure intended by the Apostle Paul.

Does this guy meet your criteria?

I think the seven your antecedents removed have caused enough trouble ;)

Sure...no problem!

Long hair: 1) You think that you have "long hair." and 2) Others around you perceive that you have "long hair."

My criteria????

Contrary to the perception here on FR, I did not write 1st (or 2nd) Corinthinans.

Although it is more likely that I wrote John, 1st, 2nd or 3rd John and Revelation. It is still not true!

***Long hair: 1) You think that you have "long hair." and 2) Others around you perceive that you have "long hair."***

so 1 & 2 = long hair

whereas 1 but not 2 = hair length is OK
or 2 but not 1 = hair length is OK

As long as the person doesn't think it is long it is OK no matter what you or others think. Is that your point?

You wanna fight??? Huh???

From the New Advent (Catholic Encyclopedia):"The Protestant Reformers applied the title Apocrypha to the excess of the Catholic canon of the Old Testament over that of the Jews."

i.e. Jesus was a Jew. His scriptures did not contain the the "excess" of the Apocrypha. They were added to the scriptures used by the Apostles and Jesus by the Catholic Church...according to the Catholic Encyclopedia.

My mistake. Tried to make it too complicated!

How about: It's between you and God whether your hair meets His criteria.
