False doctrines |
|
One day
Jesus told His disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the
Sadducees. In other words, He told them to beware of the doctrine of those
Jewish sects because it nullified the Word of God (Matthew 16:6,12). |
|
So we who
are disciples of Christ must beware of all those doctrines which nullify the
Word of God. To know which are these doctrines, I exhort
you to read my confuting writings. False doctrines, as the word itself
indicates, are false, and thus they cannot do any good to those who accept
them, for they do nothing but harm to them. Only true and sound doctrines can
edify believers. Therefore, hold the doctrines which are true and expose the
false ones. |
|
Do not
accept strange doctrines, lest you wander away from the truth and you be put
to shame. If you find out with the help of God that you are professing a
false doctrine, I exhort you to reject it and to tell the others to do the
same. |
