Beware False Teachers!

How can I recognize false teachers?
2 Peter 2 says:
  • damnable heresies, even denying the Lord
  • the way of truth shall be evil spoken of
  • many shall follow their pernicious ways
  • through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you
  • whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not
  • their damnation slumbereth not
  • them that walk after the flesh in the lust ofuncleanness, and despise government
  • speak evil of the things that they understand not
  • cannot cease from sin
  • beguiling unstable souls
  • an heart they have exercised with covetous practices
  • cursed children
  • have forsaken the right way
  • are gone astray
  • loved the wages of unrighteousness
  • they speak great swelling words of vanity
  • they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness
  • having eyes full of adultery
  • they promise them liberty
  • they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage
It is so dangerous to turn to the pollution of the world to find answers because we will never be happy there, and we need the Light of Christ to guide us back to righteousness. We need to be wary of half truths and false teachers. They can destroy us if we let them.
