Who Is Standing On The Bible?
Let's learn something else about these
difficult days in which we live. The
Bible says in 1 Timothy 4:1,
"That in the
latter times some shall depart from the
faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits and doctrines of demons."
The devil loves to deceive men and
draw them away from the truth.
This verse is telling us that there
will be some who will depart from
God's truth. They were once
standing on God's truth, but then
they walked away:
Watch Out For
The False Teachers!
In 2 Peter 2:1 Peter said, "there shall be
____________ ___________________
among you."
Do you think these teachers will teach the
truth? ______
In 1 John 4:1 we are told that "many
_________________ prophets are gone
out into the ______________." We
learned about false prophets in the last
chapter of these notes. Do false prophets
give people God’s true message? ______
In Acts 20:29-30, Paul warned the
Ephesians that false teachers would
come. What kind of animal does he
compare them to (Acts 20:29)? ________
_______________________
Just as wolves destroy sheep, so false
teachers seek to destroy believers by
getting them to turn away from the Lord
and not believe His Word. These false
teachers would come from without (Acts
20:29) and they would also arise from
within (Acts 20:30).
How can we tell if a person is a FALSE
TEACHER? First, we must listen very
carefully to what the teacher is saying,
and then we must ask these
questions: "Is this really what the Bible
says?" "Does the Bible really teach
this?" "Did this teacher get these ideas
from the Bible or from somewhere else?"
Can the Bible ever be wrong? ________
Can the Bible ever teach something that
is not true? ________
Can a teacher ever be wrong? _________
Can a teacher ever teach something
that is not true? _________
Suppose a person were to come to
your door and tell you: "Jesus Christ
is a great angel, but He is not
God." Is this what the Bible says
(Matthew 1:23, John 1:1 and 14;
John 20:28, Titus 2:13)? _______
Does this person agree with what
the Bible says? _________
Is this person teaching the truth? ______
Remember, the devil may use people to
try to deceive you and trick you, but
God’s Word (the Bible) will never
deceive you or trick you. Whenever you
are taught something (even by your own
ministers or trusted people in the
community), go to the
Bible and see if it is
really so (see Acts
17:11).
