There were many great philosophers recorded in our history and there are many philosophers today that fill the the world with their opinions about God’s word.
We have positive thinking preachers, motivational speaking preachers, prosperity teaching preachers, creative thinking preachers, we have scientific thinking preachers, we have many philosophers but are any of them teaching the truth?
Paul talks about one of these types in the book of Acts chapter 17 starting at the 18th verse.
The Apostle Paul said that he was not welcomed among these false teachers for obvious reasons, for they taught a version of God’s word which brought people into bondage(religion)where as his teachings set the people free of any bondage.
Paul goes on to say that these philosophers perceived what he was saying as a new doctrine(teaching)because of there lack of understanding the very Word of God that they themselves taught from.
It was not a new understanding of the Word, but it was the true understanding of the Word!
Like the people of today they desired to hear some new fancy way of speaking God’s word and Paul refers to these religious people as superstitious.Verses 21 &22 in the book of Acts chapter 17.
II Timothy 4:3-4 ” For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
Paul speaks of today’s times in the book of Timothy, a time when anything goes in religion. Gay ministers of music, women Pastors,greed and wealth seekers,vain and self satisfying people, choosing doctrines that allow them to seek after and continue in their own lust.
Today we are living in one of the most talked about and prophesied times ever recorded among men.
we are literally living out the contents of the Holy Bible.
Why is this important to know?
Because the Bible refers to Satan as the deceiver of this world Revelation 12:9.
Now Jesus biggest opposition was religion and the teachings of religious leaders.
Jesus was recorded in the book of Matthew 15:8-9 saying ” 8 This people draw nigh unto me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men”.
Everyone on the entire earth has an opinion and are entitled to their opinion, but when it comes to our Father’s word, there is the truth and there are lies.
The Truth will make you free! John 8:32
Where as lies will deceive you and bring you into bondage!
“Through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you” 2nd Peter 2:3
According to the word of God there would come a time where men speaking on behalf of God would really be agents of the devil.
II Corinthians 11:13-15
13″ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14″And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 ” Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
Satan was God’s highest ranking angel, he knows the word of God very well.
Let us see an example of this in the book of Matthew chapter 4 verse 5 & 6;
5 “Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6″ And saith unto him, if thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.”
Notice that Satan is quoting the word of God or shall I say miss quoting the word of God? For he said it is written.
If you read Psalm 91:11-12 you will see that Satan altered what the scriptures actually said.
This is an example of how easily someone can change the truth of God’s word into a lie.
There is a thin line between truth and a lie, a thin line between right and wrong.
Satan knows how to alter the words of God to deceive mankind.
IN OTHER WORDS DON’T LET SOME PERSON FROM A RELIGION TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO COME TO THERE
ORGANIZATION TO KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THE WORD OF GOD!
DON’T BE DECEIVED BY THEIR TITLES OR POPULAR STATUS IN THIS WORLD!
21″Not everyone that says unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
BEING RELIGIOUS IS NOT THE SAME AS SERVING GOD.
GOING INTO SOME ORGANIZATION FROM WEEK TO WEEK WILL NOT GAIN YOU FAVOR WITH GOD.
The time is short. It is too much at stake, even your very soul.
So the next time someone tells you about the word of God, check what they say against what the Bible says to see if it is true.
