False Bible Teachers

Peter has very little to say about compromised teaching but he gives a litany of descriptions about compromised lives.

False bible teachers. These preachers never preach on sin because they don t want to offend anyone. They twist the bible to justify sin. Jesus said to beware of such people and that we would know them by their fruits matthew 7 15 20. In fact you can hardly swing a dead cat without hitting a false teacher.

Please use them as teaching tools in the spirit of 2 timothy 2 24 26 to help others understand the sin and false doctrine being promoted keeping in mind that the people who follow them most likely simply don t know they re following false teachers. Clear teachings in the bible they throw away. In fact you can hardly swing a dead cat without hitting a false teacher. False teachers are not just false in their teaching but also in their living.

In particular 2 peter 2 is remarkable in how it fleshes out jesus s warning about the fruit of false teaching. False teachers are everywhere they re a dime a dozen. These false teachers religions deny the essential beliefs of the truth of christ. But false prophets also arose among the people just as there will be false teachers among you who will secretly bring in destructive heresies even denying the master who bought them bringing upon themselves swift destruction 2 peter 2 1.

Jesus christ the god man 2nd person in the trinity son of god is the only way john 14 6 and these teachers religions deny this directly with their teachings of prosperity salvation of works etc and wrong image of god that contradicts the bible. In other words a false teacher can be known by his pride cain s rejection of god s plan greed balaam s prophesying for money and rebellion korah s promotion of himself over moses. The bible tells us that in the last days many false prophets will arise and mislead many matthew 24 11 and we see this taking place right before our eyes.
