Warning
“For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  
They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” 
                                                                                                   2 Timothy 4:3,4.
One of the reoccurring themes in the apostle Paul’s letters is that of watching out for false teachers. Men and women who are leading people astray.
Men and women who stray from sound doctrine, turn to if you will “yes men” people who will tell them what they want to hear. They will turn away from truth.
This happens in North America it seems regularly.
Here in North America there are men and women who are interpreting the scriptures to suite their own beliefs. Some are even interpreting scripture in such away as to scam money from people. Both these groups search the scriptures and ‘cherry pick’ verses that seem to support their way of thinking.
Sadly Christians fall for it. Most Christians believe what they are told without question. They hear an evangelist or pastor quote scripture and never check to see if it’s in context. The definitely never consult a commentary to check the theology.
The prominent thing in North America right now seems to be the so called ‘name it claim it’ crowd. Those who espouse the ‘seed faith’ theory. Meaning sow ten dollars to God’s work (quite often they mean sow into their ministry) to get a hundred, sow a hundred to get a thousand.
They treat God like some benevolent banker that gives, a hundred or even a thousand percent interest.
There are others over the years who have written books some best sellers that are nothing more than twisting of scripture. One of the best known being the Y2K prediction. Saying the worlds computers were going to go wild causing all kinds of problems in the year 2000. It didn’t happen.
The latest is the so called ‘Blood Moon’ prediction. Supposedly predicting events that are about to happen to Israel. Yet there have been numerous blood moons since the time of Christ. None have predicted major events. The closest was the Blood moons that occurred ten months after the six day war. Not a very good prediction.
God when he gives a prophesy tells what will happen before the event not after.
Sadly there are many Christians out there that fall for these things.
We as Christians I believe need to be spending more time reading the Bible ourselves. We need to be praying earnestly and asking God to show us the truths in the scriptures.
We need to be holding evangelist and pastors to account. If they are teaching falsely we need to be asking them to admit they made a mistake.
If they don’t admit their mistake we need to be shunning them.
The apostle Paul says,
“What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?  
God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” 
                                                                                        1 Corinthians 5:12,13.
Dear Christian please think about it.
