Now how do we identify a false teacher?
1. They hinder believers from obeying the truth.
2. What truth?
a. the Galatians were cut in on and the Law was added that is keeping the Law to keep your salvation.
b. Not only that but it is anything that distracts someone from following the true gospel that is Salvation by Grace through faith.
3. Others teach things which a source other than the Bible for instance someone who states "well I am not sure Jesus is the only means of salvation", could we consider that a false teaching?
4. False teachers also try to gain control of the organization or the church.
5. They try to shake a believers confident expectation in the Lord Jesus and His salvation by adding the keeping of the Law or Circumcision to salvation.
6. they spread false accusations at those who teach the truth of salvation.
We need to all be very careful about accusing someone of being a false teacher for the discipline of God intended for false teachers can very easily be chastisement brought upon the false accuser.
We must have proper biblical doctrine in order to discern the truth. We need to understand that just because something goes against a traditional teaching you have had doesn't mean it is false, Disagreeing on doctrines, can sometimes be just that, we must be able to prove it is false, not just make a railing accusation.
a. Disagreeing on those things without proper biblical backing or even having an adequate knowledge for opposition is falsely accusing one of false teaching.
b. If many teach one doctrine.
c. Another person another doctrine
d. But both are reasonable with scripture both can back thier view up but in reality they are just theories
e. Both will say the Holy Spirit lead them to their conclusion
f. Similar to the theory of evolution it sounds plausible
g. But the Bible says God created the heaven and the earth in 6 literal days,
Both are Theories they cannot be 100% proven.
h. Oh wait some will offer up, the Gap theory,
i. Others Theistic evolution
j. Some the Day age theory
k. So which is right?
l. I believe the 6 literal days are supported by scripture,
m. Others believe scripture states their point of view, who is right,
n. All are theories we cannot prove any of them with certainty, we just believe what we see in scripture.
o. To call someone a “doctrinally incorrect brother” but lack all the things required to prove it.
p. Here in is the problem, with saying someone eschatology is off
q. We can get many who agree with the a-mil view and just as many who hold with the Pre-Trib view, which of these is not correct and a false doctrine, by this standard neither.
r. Why because it is an acceptable doctrine by many in the church it is differing points of views not false doctrine.
s. Same with the belief that God supplies the Faith to be saved and those who believe God gave man volition.
t. Both have scriptural backing both can be debated and neither can prove the other wrong, they may think they can but we cannot truly do so.
u. Yet many want to call the other a False Teacher or say it is a False Doctrine.
v. We all need to be very careful in labeling something false.
w. I don’t believe I have ever done that here if I have it was unintentional.
x. I believe God has given us volition to make choices and while my methods of studies and beliefs differ from some of you I respect your viewpoint.
In fact I will study through the doctrine as we debate with your point of view and ask God the Holy Spirit to guide me to the truth, I will utilize commentaries and try to decipher what that author was saying and go to the interlinear for guidance. Sometimes reading it through 5 or more times to be able to clearly understand what is being stated, I don't stop untill I see clearly what is being said. I do this with both views in mind and I find many times that the way I originally believed it comes through while at other times my view is changed. We all need to approach these issue in this manner so that we can be in unity not separate. Will we gain unity most of the time, no, should we, of course. There really is only one true answer, it may be the middle ground between those views. But it is there, I try to ensure what I say is studied through and done several times. Hopefully we can agree on at this and stop all the accusations of something we cannot prove to be true or flase
