The Faith Every man has been given a measure of the Faith,but the Apostle Paul tells us that not all men have faith. This is a look at false doctrine in troubled times. As the United States fights religious zellots ,we in the church fight false doctrine. Ive made this my life times work in the ministry. False doctrine is, Doctrine that is contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The word of God holds the only key, that we can depend upon , for its truth, frankness,history and future. False doctrine was developed by Satan to, confuse,distort and destroy the only source of salvation that this world has. To try to turn the truth into a lie. Many people are being mislead by different false interpretations of scripture. This is the reason the Bible must be studied and broken down into a language that the layman can understand. “Rightly devideing the word of truth..”but man wants more than the truth, he wants a free ride into glory, being able to change what the scripture says into something less than factual, to justify sin in his members. Wanting to hold the world as a friend with all its pleasures and also holding onto God. False doctrine is simply,changing views on the truth, putting doubt into the mind of others to get them to agree that certain sins are acceptable to God. Many clergy and lay members try the accuse of saying that, “The scripture is not really clear on this issue ,so we will allow it and make a different covenant with Jesus.” Lets look at some of the scriptures that teach about false doctrine. Mark 12:38-40, Romans 16:17, Eph 4:14 1st Timothy 1:3-10,6:1-3, 2nd Tim.4:3, 2nd John 1:9-10. The word of God is very specific and some have trouble in accepting that God is not only a God of Love and Piece but also a God of War and Vengeance. Lets look at 1st Tim 1:3-10, “...that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine. Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they aferm. For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind........and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine.” False doctrine is explained in these verses ,as anything that is contrary to the sound doctrine that Jesus has laid down for His Church. And yes, it is the Church of Jesus, God gave His Son ,charge of everything concerning the church. People are mislead ,believing that the words of Jesus stop at the four gospels. In fact every word in the new testament is Jesus, hard to believe? Not really, Jesus said that He was in the Father and the Father in Him and He and the Father were one. So since the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and Jesus was the word, the doctrine from Matthew to Revelations belongs to Jesus. Liars, homosexuals, murderers, all manner of sin covered in the Books from Acts to Revelations, ARE condemned by Jesus. There’s no way around it. The Faith in Jesus ,to us, is based on our acceptance of the word as written. We can change something that isn’t ours. If I write a story, I can change the story line, the fonts, the hero or the villain, because it belongs to me. The word of God cannot be changed because it isn’t ours to change. We are bound by faith to the word as written and God is bound also to His word, because He cannot change. the Bible states that God changes not, and we have to be as god, unchanging, unswerving and unmoviable. Read the verses Ive given you, understand what is going on in the world today and see if you can spot false doctrine. The more you know of Gods word ,the less likely you will be deceived. Deception is the greatest tool that Satan and the antichrist will use on the church. Child molesters cannot be priest, homosexuals cannot be pastors, gays cannot be preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ because it is contrary to Sound doctrine. It is an abomination in the sight of God and it turns the truth into a lie. The Faith is stronger in those that read and understand the word. Read study, to show yourself approved, rightly devideing the word of God. In James 4:17 it states, “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good ,and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” Our Faith is based on the scriptures as written. to change what is written to accomidate ,individuals, sercomstances or policy of the church, is deviating from the truth and becomes sin and sin causes a rift in our faith as was given to us from God. Changing your faith because of sercomstances is the first step in a fall from grace and the beginning of shipwrecked faith. We cannot love the world and God. Lets us come together and discuss false religion, let us reason together in love and honesty. Be ye patient; establish your hearts;for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. ars.
