tell a friend goes here
Dearly beloved, first and foremost, I’m very glad to see that we still do have many authentic, biblical, God fearing Christians in the world today. The Church isn’t made up of walls but of people, and we all make up the body of Christ Rom 12:5. The message and the Spirit is the same, and we all share the same faith, and mind set Phil 2:2, which is the mind of Christ, 1 Cor 2:16. Christ is the Head of the Church and it’s foundation: 1 Cor 3:11, Eph 5:23, Acts 4:11-12, 1 Pet 2:6-8. The mission here is to expose the flood of false teachers who are contaminating the faith with the spirit of error 1 John 4:6. In Galatians 5:9 it says: “A little leaven leavens the whole lump”. Well this is a lot of leaven. It’s serious, and it needs to be addressed: 2 Cor 4:1-7.
James 3:1 (King James Version)
1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. teachers
Is the church asleep, blinded, or misled? Sadly, the mainstream church is being led away by false teachers, false prophets, false doctrine, and counterfeit bibles, deceiving many, even the elect as spoken by our Lord Jesus, Mark 13:22. Please, examine the “False Prophet Playlist” and see for yourself the error of these false teachers. The message of the gospel is to follow the risen Jesus very closely in repentance, obedience and fear. Observing all that He teaches, abiding in His word, steering clear of the phonies, just as Jesus ordered in Matt 28:20. Very few authentic ministers left who understand and defend the Bible, and our Lord Jesus Christ who wrote it. Take heed, it is very important!
These are just a few supporting verses from the Word of God. Many more warnings on this topic found in the Bible.
Jeremiah 14:14 (King James Version)
14Then 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.
Jeremiah 23:23-26 (King James Version)
23Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
24Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
25I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Ezekiel 34:9-12 (King James Version)
9Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
10Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
11For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Matthew 7:13-15 (King James Version)
13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. to feed greedily/devour/plunder
Acts 20:28-31 (King James Version)
28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
Any doubt to who Jesus is? Acts 20:28 says “The Church of God, which He has purchased with His own blood”. Awesome! Jesus is God. Compare: 1 Pet 1:19, Rev 1:5.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (King James Version)
13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Peter 2:1-3 (King James Version)
1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Make merchandise of you! This is happening today inside the church, where people are tapping into the profitability of selling God, and using God as a business and a means of generating large sums of income. The latest trend is that all these new age pastors are trying to sell you their books. It’s a shame when a pastor goes on national TV and instead of testifying for Christ, they try to promote the sale of their book. Well what happened to promoting the Bible and abiding in God’s word? The worst part of this trend is to know of Christians confiding more in these books, than in the Holy Word of God, the Bible.
Matthew 21:12-13 (King James Version)
12And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. Jer 7:11
Seeing the House of Prayer turned into a den of thieves made Jesus angry. Yet Jesus wasn’t full of anger, He is full of grace and truth. John 1:14, John 1:17. Unfortunately, this kind of situation is still happening today in many congregations.
Twisting Scripture:
2 Peter 3:16-17 (King James Version)
16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
A “Twisted Scripture” these false prophets preach. Listen closely to what is being said. Study and compare with your King James Bible, the true standard of God’s word in English. Not even the Bible is safe anymore. There are many counterfeit bibles that have been introduced that dilute and corrupt the Word of God. The King James Bible is the True and Holy Word of God in the English language. Over 400 years of faithfulness. If you can speak and read English you can read the KJV. No excuses. Don’t allow Satan to steer you away from the KJV to his counterfeit versions. One sign/red flag you can spot about most of these “False Teachers” is that they hardly or do not use the KJV. They use and quote every other version, distorting and confusing the flock. They twist or alter the true meaning of scripture, even twisting the scripture itself by creating a new bible altogether. Can we ever be united, like-minded as one with over 50+ different bibles? The answer is NO. Learn the TRUTH 2 Cor 4:2, not the different truths, from different bibles, using different words.
1 Corinthians 14:33 (King James Version)
33For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Philippians 3:16 (King James Version)
16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
1 Corinthians 1:10 (King James Version)
10Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
The truth is that this wish of God has not been obtained thus far. Our faith is divided because of the many opinions and doctrines that each individual group teaches.
1 Timothy 2:3-6 (King James Version)
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Philippians 2:1-3 (King James Version)
1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Watch, Reprove, Admonish, Exhort, & Avoid.
Ezekiel 33:7-9 (King James Version)
7So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Many Christians out there doing a good job for God. Feeding the flock and watching out for false prophets. It’s biblical to be on high alert. But also there are a few preachers out there that are preaching the word using the King James Bible as well, but they lack something in their tone and speech. They lack love and respect for the brethren and others, not applying to their conducts what is revealed for a pastor to follow in 1 Pet 5:2-3.
Colossians 4:5-6 (King James Version)
5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
I’ve been reading up on all the bible comparisons, and on youtube, where false teachers are exposed. This is good, watch out for and reprove those who are mistaken. But what about when it turns into mockery and anger? Name calling, poking and prodding those who are mistaken. Is this our calling??? NO! We are to reprove, rebuke, admonish, and exhort in the spirit of meekness as according to the bible:
Galatians 6:1 (King James Version)
1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Timothy 4:2 (King James Version)
2Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
The bible doesn’t say mock or insult, make fun of and rage at the top of our lungs. I’ve had to filter out some of that arrogant tone.
Yes, the Bible calls out these people as “False Teachers” 2 Pet 2:1, and “False Prophets” Matt 24:11, and “Heretic” Tit 3:10. When someone leaves the faith or changes it to something else by adding or removing from doctrine this is called apostasy.
1 Timothy 4:1-2 (King James Version)
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
The Bible warns us about such people, and it says we are to reprove them. Once you’ve tried to reprove, and they refuse to listen just walk away and go in peace 1 Cor 7:15. Pray for them is the best we can do Matt 5:44-45. Also see Matt 18:15-18, Tit 3:10-11.
Romans 16:17 (King James Version)
17Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Why avoid them? Because they will contaminate the faith with perversions, and false doctrine, contrary to the one singular truth, just as the Bible warns us about this: 1 Cor 15:33-34.
2 John 1:8-11 (King James Version)
8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. *worked
9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
*good wishes
*Paul and the other Apostles worked very hard to keep the faith pure and free from falsities.
*Not wishing them God Speed might sound harsh and unloving but this is consistent with what we shouldn’t love according to the Bible. We mustn’t love the world or be friends with the world. This is spiritual in nature. We can be friends with all kinds of people, but when they start to influence our absolute faith in Christ, or try to get you to partake in their sins, then we need to say “no thanks”: 1 Pet 4:1-5.
James 4:4 (King James Version)
4Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
This kind of adultery isn’t so much like the literal sexual adultery, but rather spiritual adultery. When we partake with something else besides our commitment to God. Mixing truth and untruth is spiritual adultery.
God is not inclusive, He is Exclusive.
Exodus 34:14, Deut 10:20-21, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, Gal 1:9, Eph 4:3-6.
If you know that someone is living in falsehood don’t give in and say it’s ok when it’s not. Speak the truth, but don’t promote or enable their error in any way.
Exodus 23:2 (King James Version)
2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Jeremiah 1:8 (King James Version)
8Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 15:19 (King James Version)
19Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
Jeremiah had to confront but none other than the false prophets & priests of Jerusalem who were committing spiritual adultery against God.
Ephesians 5:11 (King James Version)
11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Also: 2 Cor 6:14-16.
Repent. Return to God. God is Love.
Ezekiel 33:11 (King James Version)
11Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Yes, there is death and hell to content with and repentance from sin, no doubt. We must be reminded to live in fear of God for He will judge all our works Ecc 12:13-14. But our God isn’t a mean Spirited God. He isn’t cruel, and full of anger ready to smite in an instant. God is Jealous, and He is provoked to anger Psalm 78:58, Isa 1:4, Jer 7:18-20, and His anger is only but a moment Psalm 30:5, yet God is love Luke 6:35. We have been living in Grace. Grace is extended to us, and we must extend it to others, even our enemies. God’s impending wrath to come is only after being patient for so very long: Rom 2:3-4, 2 Pet 3:9, sacrificing His only Begotten Son to save us from sin and death John 3:16. This is true love John 15:13, from a loving and merciful God. So even, if you do preach the truth and yet have no love, do you truly know God? Or if you preach God and arrogantly reject bible counseling from a lesser brother, do you really know & love God? Without love, do you think you will be rewarded by God?
Matthew 7:21-23 (King James Version)
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Romans 12:19 (King James Version)
19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
2 Thessalonians 3:13-16 (King James Version)
13But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
1 Peter 2:1-3 (King James Version)
1Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
1 John 4:8 (King James Version)
8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Jude 1:20-23 (King James Version)
20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh
For we walk by faith, not by sight: 2 Cor 5:7
Mark 13:21-23 (King James Version)
21And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
These false prophets are doing so much harm to the flock, not only do they mislead, they break the hearts of the righteous and make un-repented sinners happy.
Ezekiel 13:22-23 (King James Version)
22Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
23Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
You cannot preach salvation, without ever mentioning what we are being saved from. Matt 10:28, Mark 16:16, John 3:18-19.
Do not look at the size of the congregation, or the amount of book copies they have sold Luke 6:25-26. Do not look at the lights and sound, or the positive only, prosperity messages they preach, promising health, wealth, and miracles. They are marketing the church, and they use marketing, feel good tactics to draw people in. Once inside they give a distorted, ambiguous message, even denying Christ in subtle ways.
Romans 16:18 (King James Version)
18For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 (King James Version)
9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
1 Timothy 6:3-6 (King James Version)
3If 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;
4He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Let no man beguile you.
2 Corinthians 11:3 (King James Version)
3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Colossians 2:4 (King James Version)
4And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Colossians 2:18 (King James Version)
18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Instead, look unto Jesus, and maintain a sincere relationship with the Master through prayer, study of scripture, and obedience to the Word. He promised us His Holy Spirit to guide and teach us. John 14:26, John 15:26, John 16:7-8.
Luke 18:7-8 (King James Version)
7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
God Bless You!
