Accepting Error as Truth.
The Apostle Peter warned the the community of the redeemed: But there
were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false
teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even
denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift
destruction. And MANY WILL follow their destructive ways, because of
whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness THEY WILL
EXPLOIT YOU with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not
been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. 2 Peter 1:1-3
Notice that the destructive heresies were secretly introduced as doctrine. Today these same secret heresies are overtly and openly claimed as Gospel truth and accepted as such by millions of deceived believers! The false teachers go to and fro in the earth spewing forth a myriad of deceptive teachings regarding the Gospel, Jesus' work on the cross, God, segregation of God's children, physical healing, financial prosperity, the gifts of the Spirit, and even redemption itself is twisted by these shyster charlatans.
These tares are especially dangerous because God’s people have been taught to respect and believe the Bible as interpreted by these self-scholar-ed, gospel ignorant, self-serving, celebrity stuck, devil inspired teachers. However, this is where the unaware believer often stumbles. Someone stands up and preaches something using biblical texts out of context and says “its bible truth,” and it is accepted as such by the pew-warmers. What is required on the believer's part is abundantly lacking...that is to be well grounded in Christ and His Gospel of Grace.
Could it be that most Christians are not adequately in Christ enough to properly discern truth from error?
What else could explain the millions in religious bondage today?
