'Christians' are comparing church teachings - there are no Scriptures in their conversations!
Colossians 2:8 - Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
They are mixing false gospels! - there is NO truth in their religions!
We met a man who said he was a born again Mormon
We men a young man who is studying to be a priest
and said that a priest is not 'needed' - is just a helper!
We met 'scholars' who did their normal scholar stuff
- and never did mention the word of God or that "God says..."
We met folks who have their home fellowships and
bible studies - and yet they have no single bible authority.
We met folks who asked us, "Have you read ________?"
and yet never ask about the Bible itself.
We met a catholic who believes in very little of
the catholic church teachings - but stays with them, anyway. Bondage
to religion!
Typical stuff, eh! But it sure did seem to be worse than before.
II Timothy 3:13 -
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being
deceived.
Godliness without power thereof... II
Timothy 3:5-8; 13,14
Lovers of pleasures MORE than lovers of God...
Establishing their own righteousness / religion... Romans
10:3
False professions ... Titus 1:16
Lovers of money - err from faith - sorrows, etc. I
Timothy 6:10
People today:
...have WRONG Bible!
...WRONGLY Divide!
...WREST the Scripture!
...hang around the WRONG people!
...LISTEN to the WRONG people!
PROUD / BOASTERS
We could see the Proud Boasting from these folks who have come to their
own conclusions of their religion mixing - by rejecting the very words
of God in the King James Bible!
II Timothy 3:2 - proud...
boasters
Ephesians 2:8,9 ...
lest any should boast!
They are boasting their religion more than BIble
Believers are telling folks the truth about rightly dividing!
Listen to the words of Jeremiah as he
tried to tell God's people they were not listening to the words of God!
2:8 - The
priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law
knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets
prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
2:11 - Hath
a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people
have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
7:8 - Behold,
ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9:3 - And
they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant
for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they
know not me, saith the LORD.
9:5,6 - And
they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth:
they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit
iniquity. Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they
refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
14:14 - Then
the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them
not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy
unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the
deceit of their heart.
23:10-14 - For
the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth;
the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is
evil, and their force is not right. For both prophet and priest are
profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness:
they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them,
even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. And I have seen folly
in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people
Israel to err. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible
thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the
hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are
all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
23:16-18 - Thus
saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that
prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own
heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still unto them that
despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto
every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil
shall come upon you. For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD,
and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word,
and heard it?
23:21,22 - I
have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them,
yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused
my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their
evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23:25-32
What does Paul say God says about these liars?
(Is it no wonder that 'smart' home schooling, self-educated
'Christians ignore Paul! Paul tells it like it is about them if they
are correctors and non KJB Rightly Dividers, etc.!)
I Timothy 6:3-5 -If
any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of
words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse
disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing
that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
We are to mark the folks that do not follow Paul's teachings and
not listen to them!
Romans 16:17 - Now
I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary
to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
We are to mark the folks that do and then listen to them!
Philippians 3:17 - Brethren,
be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us
for an ensample.
Why don't Christians - Bible Believers - do that? Is there no wonder their children go astray when they get older? Is it no wonder their marriages are a mess today? It is no wonder! Christians are listening to Liars!
Are you listening to liars?
You are - if you are not listening to Paul!
