Part I

Paul warns folks about the enemy...
Acts 20:30,31 - Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
I Corinthians 4:17 - For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
Colossians 4:16 - And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
I Thessalonians 5:27 - I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
II Thessalonians 2:15 - Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

...and we know who these people are:
II Timothy 3:13 - But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
Those that mind earthly things!
Those without faith!
Those with no hope!
Those who have pleasure in rebelling against nature - God, etc.!
Those of the concision - The modern Great Commission crowd!
Those that cause division to truth and Paul's ways!
Those that speak vain babblings by wrongly dividing the word of truth!
Those that ask foolish and unlearned questions!
Those that deal with genealogies!
Those that preach peace and safety for today's world!
Those that preach another gospel, another spirit, and another Jesus!
Those that speak and/or live evil - corrupt communication!
Those that preach false doctrine!
Those that handle the word of God deceitfully!
The modern Christian today!
Those that hate them that do good by doing "right right," - not "wrong right" nor "right wrong...!"
etc.

We have heard how to deal with them:

not to get entangled with them and their 'issues'
have no fellowship with them!
be not partakers with them!
Avoid!
Shun!
Turn Away!
Mark!
Have no company!
Withdraw!
Flee!
Fight!
Preach, reprove, rebuke, exhort!
Not give heed!
Refuse!
Warn!
etc.

If we don't heed Paul's warnings about those people...

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do:
and the God of peace shall be with you.
Philippians 4:9

Let's review what can happen!

Lost Folks:

Blinded by the devil himself - II Corinthians 4:4
Follow the angel of light and his ministers - II Corinthians 11:13-15
Have no word to follow - no book and no hearing ...no truth of salvation to hear - Luke 8:12; Amos 8:11-13; Ephesians 1:12
Will stay lost! II Thessalonians 2:10-12
They will continue to be: servants of sin; be in their sins; 'free from righteousness;' their wages of sin will be death and the second death; be alienated by their wicked works; in the flesh; without Christ; aliens from the commonwealth of Israel; strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world as well as at enmity with God!

Us!
Even the brethren must walk together in Paul's ways!
II Thessalonians 3:6,7 - Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
II Thessalonians 3:14,15 - And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

The Proper goal and desire for a Christian:
Colossians 1:10,11 - That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

We still could:
You may recognize some of these in your own life!

Amos 8:11-13; Romans 7:9; Romans 10:17

Be a lousy 'youth!'

Titus 2:1-15
Aged men will not be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

Young men won't be sober minded and won't show themselves a pattern of good works: in doctrine they won't shew uncorruptness, gravity sincerity or sound speech. Their speech will be able to be condemned.
Servants won't be obedient unto their own masters and will not please them well in all things and will answer again to them!

Living that false Christianity that will not give you or your children the proper life in this present world!

Not speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority...
