Galatians 1:6-9 KJV
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
There are so many teachers of the bible out there. There are so many people who follow the interpretations that men have of the bible, and not the Holy Spirit’s interpretation.
Not everyone who is teaching is telling the truth.
I’m going to repeat that.
NOT EVERYONE WHO IS TEACHING THE BIBLE IS TELLING THE TRUTH!
The best defense against false teachers is to read the bible yourself, and to ask the Holy Spirit to give you the correct understanding and interpretation of God’s living Word.
It is a very sad thing to say that you cannot trust even most church pastors to teach you the correct truth. And unfortunately, it is a true statement.
Beware of having itching ears. Test every spirit. Compare what is being said against the text of the bible. Beware of anything thrown into a teaching that is NOT addressed in God’s Word.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 KJV
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
1 John 4:1-3 KJV
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
