FALSE PROPHECY

FALSE PROPHECY

 Ahab, king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, were trying to decide whether to go into battle together. Ahab kept 400 so-called prophets on staff, who dutifully “prophesied” victory. Unimpressed, Jehoshaphat asked if there was an actual prophet of the Lord. Reluctantly, Ahab sent for Micaiah, who prophesied their defeat (1 Kings 22:1–28). “I can tell him only what the LORD tells me,” Micaiah said (v. 14).

There will be false teachers among you.

2 PETER 2:1

There are still false teachers in the church today (vv. 1–3). We cannot minimize this issue. A heresy is any teaching which contradicts God’s Word. These teachers mislead many into believing ideas that are not from God. How can we know false teaching when we hear it? False teachers will in some way deny Christ and His redemption (v. 1). In addition, they will be marked by depraved conduct, greed, and “fabricated stories.” The result for them will be condemnation and destruction.

God will destroy false teachers and all the wicked, while rescuing the godly (vv. 4–9). It might not appear that way. It might seem the wicked are getting away with it and escaping judgment. If we’re tempted to think this way, we can look to Scripture for counterevidence: (1) Fallen angels, apparently some of whom are already in hell (v. 4); (2) The entire ancient world, which was destroyed by the Flood (v. 5); and (3) Sodom and Gomorrah, judged by fire (vv. 6–8).

God doesn’t take sin lightly and will surely punish false teachers as well (v. 10–12). In contrast to godly submission, a quality we’ve studied this month, they “despise authority.” In their arrogance, they even abuse fallen angels. “They are like unreasoning animals,” Peter wrote. Tragically, they’d suppressed and disfigured the image of God in them (see also Rom. 1:18).

Pray with Us

God of Truth, please bless our study of Your Word. Help us understand its precepts. Make its truths adhere to our hearts and transform our thinking. The most devastating truth is better than the sweetest lie.

False Teacher’s - Denominations

False Teacher’s - Denominations   2 Peter 2:1,3   But there were false prophets, too, in those days, just as there will be false teacher among you. They will cleverly tell their lies about God, turning against even their Master who bought them; but theirs will be a swift and terrible end. These teachers in their greed will tell you anything to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago and their destruction is on the way.   Living Bible Ephesians 5:11-12 11 Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness, but instead, rebuke and expose them. 12 It would be shameful even to mention here those pleasures of darkness that the ungodly do. So here we have a list of various of what I have found online NOW this is OPEN to each individuals own ideas so do your own research in fact the links here will be from Google and believe what you want if you have a Bible then you have the correct word depending on what version you have you can check what your reading!
