Beware of False Teachers Part 2

I’ve been preaching over the past few weeks about false teachers and how their teachings enter our minds, and churches secretly. Today I will be preaching on the “scoffer.” A scoffer is someone who mocks and ridicules the truth found in the Word of God. In other words it’s someone who does not believe the Bible to be inerrant, but rather just another book of facts and proverbs. In (2 Peter 3), Peter exhorts the church to be aware of what the Bible teaches so that our faith will stand not in the wisdom of men but rather in the truth of God. You see the promises of God are not bound by our time schedule but rather God’s Word. Scoffers laugh and mock at the Word of God because it cannot be proved right now, and because God is not someone who can be dissected and figured out scientifically. Peter reminds us that God’s promises have always come true in the past, and there is no reason to doubt that they will come true in the future. Our faith is not based on sight, nor on the here and now, but rather on simply taking God at His Word. A scoffer cannot except this, and so he/she looks to find ways to disprove the Bible even if they have to interpret the way they want. “beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked fall from your own steadfastness”

Beware of False Teachers

Over the past few weeks I have been preaching out of (2 Peter Chp 2) on the subject of being “beware of” false teachers and their ways. Last week I dealt with the “Plan”“Plight” of those that follow their ways. It’s very important for every person to realize (Rom.2:2) “that thejudgment of God is according to truth.” If we follow truth we will be judged faithful, but if we follow error we will be found as guilty as any other one who chooses error. It doesn't matter if we were deceived, we will be judged for what we choose to believe in this life. of false teachers, but today I will be preaching on the In (2 Pet. 4-6), God reminds us of the angels that followed Satan, that He “spared them not,” nor did he spare the men and women of Noah’s flood , or the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, because they new the way of God, but chose the false way of wickedness to their own damnation. How sad to have known the way of truth, and to suffer eternally for no choosing it. As a Christian you also can be deceived. Oh, you can't lose your salvation, but you can suffer the loss of rewards at the judgment seat of Christ. But just imagine those that think they are saved but are really not, because they follow a person, or religion, or popular way above the way and Word of God. So, Beware, eternity is not something to play with, for God promised that His judgment is sure !
