FALSE TEACHING

 

Colossians 2:8: “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.”

 

I have written extensively on this subject in the hope people would not follow false teaching which comes from organizations such as religions and cults. The big question as to who or what is right is easily answered if one would look to the Bible exclusively. The Bible is the Word of God; if you believe this statement then why go further?

 

It is my opinion that if anyone is critical of the Bible in any way you can be rest assured that person can be classified as a non-believer or a false teacher. Revelation 22:19 says if anyone adds or takes away words from that prophecy, “God will take away their share in the tree of life.”

 

Verse 20: “Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules…” In other words when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you don’t need anything other than the teachings of Christ which are found in the Bible, exclusively.

 

Now you know why I always end my writings with: Discover the Truth by reading the Bible.

THE DOMINION OF DARKNESS

 

Colossians 1:13-14: “For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

 

This is a very interesting and enlightening verse; rescued from where? From Hell that’s where; brought us where? To Jesus, that’s where.

 

As I have written before we are born into sin i.e., born under the Curse placed upon the world because of the sin and disobedience of Adam and Eve. Therefore, our natural born destiny is Hell and the only way to change that is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. Jesus says it all when He states in no uncertain terms; “I am the way and the truth and the Life. No one comes to the father except through me.” Read John 14:6 and Romans 10:13. “…for, Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” There are numerous scriptural verses in the Bible supporting this Truth. Please remember Jesus told Nicodemus in the garden that man must be born of the Spirit (accepting Jesus), as well as the flesh (natural birth).

 

Therefore, if you don’t want to stay in darkness, accept Jesus; if you want to go to Heaven, accept Jesus.

 

Reading the Bible daily is the plan for those who want the truth.
