Beware of False Teachers. The body of Christ, the true church of God, has been infiltrated and harassed throughout nearly twenty centuries, by false teachers claiming to have a new understanding of God's word. This so called revelation knowledge not only rejects major portions of scripture, particularly of the New Testament, but also twists and turns the meanings that were given by the Lord and the apostles. These ministers of false teaching often have a valid theological or university training accompanied by an impressive array of educational qualifications. They dress, speak and perform with a form of gentleness and glibness that can blind the reality of many, particularly younger converts, of the falsity of their teaching. Inwardly, according to Jesus' teaching, they are really like ravening wolves who are sent by Satan and other false leaders, to trap the genuine body of Christ. This we read and learn from Matthew chapter 7 verse 15.

Episode Notes

False teachers will try to convince you through clever rhetoric and by referring to the teachings of other false teachers. Their focus is primarily to beguile you and to turn you from the truth only found in God's word, the Holy Bible. Many of their doctrines are based on man made ideas and propositions and focus on themselves with interesting stories of worldly value accompanied by palatable jokes. We are informed about them in Luke chapter 6 verses 43 to 45. The fruit of their teaching bears out who they really are! They produce corrupt spiritual results amongst God's people, particularly those who are younger or ill taught. These people are really false spiritual teachers who can only produce bad fruit. Good spiritual teachers are like good fruit trees who produce tasty, nourishing produce that which is from God's word, the Holy Bible. They teach from a secure foundation so that their listeners and students can bring forth a sound spiritual foundation for their life.
