Overcoming the deception of sweet and flattery doctrines of false pasotrs and teachers

For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:17.

Note: the eternal foundation of our new birth was by the incorruptible word of God – being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. If we by any means corrupt the incorruptible word by which we are presently saved to live an incorruptible life according as his divine power has given unto us all things which pertains to life and godliness that we might escape the corruption that is in the world through lusts, it will be difficult for us to reap or harvest incorruption afterwards or afterlife – God is not mocked, whatever we sow that shall we reap. 1 Peter 1:23.

It is spiritual crime to alter the eternal- infallible word of God for whatever reason or period of time – era or generation, but the false teachers will do this (some of whom are consciously and out-rightly wicked, while some among them are ignorantly – spiritually incompetence) not knowing or ignoring the eternal implications and consequences of their false and erroneous teaching of the judgment of eternal culpability for the blood of the unlearned and unstable souls (2 Peter 3:16) which were misled from the right ways and paths of God to be required and avenged (wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Acts 20:26-27) against them, though the deceived and misguided blind and lost souls got perished as the result of their own foolishness and spiritual laxity to safe guard themselves (2 Timothy 3:15) from the error of the wicked – if the blind shall lead the blind, they shall both will fall into a pit. Mt. 15:14. 2 Peter 3:17.

It is logical, once the incorruptible word is compromised, the life thereof is corrupted – be careful what you hear. Be careful of half truth, be careful of twisted truth, and be careful of the changed truth of the new generation end time spiritual teachers and churches in the world. To fully benefit from the help of the anointing which you received of God from the beginning that teaches you into all truth against the wickedness and deception of the false teachers (1 John 2:26), you must prayerfully search, know and be ready to live out the word of God as you behold the wondrous things therein (Psalms 119:18) like the noble-minded Bereans brethren (Acts 17:11) who will not be subjected to the teachings of any man except they confirmed it to be so that you may also triumph in the word of God above the expectations of the false and lying teachers of the word of God (Psalms 119:99), even as you must be rooted and grounded in the unchanging truth – to make yourself strong by the truth and for the truth, thus fulfilling your responsibility to live in all that is written to fight the good fight of faith so as to overcome the snares and the cunning craftiness of the smartness and deception of false teachers and pastors whereby they lie in wait to deceive as you dutifully and responsibly contend for the old time faith of spiritual life once delivered unto the saints. Jude1:1. Ephesians 4:14-16.

As God judged and condemned Satan for his deception of false teaching in the Garden of Eden to destroy Adam and Eve by his twisted explanations of the word of God, likewise shall God judge and condemn the past, present and future false teachers with their followers by sending them altogether into the lake that burns with fire as it is written; therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for everyone is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. For wickedness burns as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke. Isaiah 9:14-18.

Remember that Satan made a very strong appeal to the need of Eve in the temptation to win her over. Gen. 3:5. This is the cleverness or shrewdness of false teachers as they appears to care more about you than God, so they appeal to your cares and need above what God requires and cares about from you to manipulate you for their personal enrichment as Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness – this is one of the red flag to know and turn away to overcome the deception of false teachers in these last days. 1 Tim. 6:5.

Satan by subtlety deceived Eve (2 Cor. 11:3) and the false teachers as well by subtlety of Satan (he is a murderer from the beginning and will never abide in the truth. John 8:44) through false humility, evil boldness, deceptive appearance, sugar-coated word, guile, show of false care and pretentious love to deceive in order to carry out spiritual theft and to destroy the souls of the unskillful in the word of righteousness (Hebrews 5:13) in the same way by which Absalom the son of David almost stole away the hearts of all Israel from king David’s government by his false care, love, kindness and humility, but ended up destroying the uninformed who rebelled with him. 2 Samuel: 15. 2- 6.

The false teachers will preach and teach you out of the scriptures as if their teachings are new inspirations of revelations from God without two to three corroborative scriptural references to back up their claims, but if you know the scripture and try to reason with them, they will become dissatisfied, angry and remind you that it’s their church and you can stay at home if you don’t like or agrees with what you hear. Thus they use intimidation to scare you away or make you to stay. These make resemblances of speaking the truth, but the sanctifying power of it is not visible, thus they have the form of godliness, but are not delivered from the corruption that is in the world through lusts. This also is their condemnation and of the people following after them as they refused the love of the truth to wrestle and adulterate  the entire scripture given by the inspiration of God, profitable for teaching, instruction, correction, rebuke, and instructions in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnish unto every good works. 2 Tim. 3:14-17.

Some will say, Emmanuel, don’t be too hard on people with the word of God (let the people be, you cannot change them, but at least, we should not be held back from speaking the whole truth for the fear of what people will say or do, for nothing can be done against the truth, but for it) as if God’s yoke is heavy and its commandments are burdensome. 1 John 5:3.

The false teacher’s church is a congregation who doesn’t want to lose any member because of any hard teaching or doctrine of Christ (am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Galatians 4:16): it is always a worldly church – never a church growing and perfecting holiness in the fear of God – never a church teaching on how to come out of the gate – to come out of the lifestyles in conformity to the world in sanctification and holiness unto the Lord in the body, soul and spirit).

Either by words or deeds of miracles, you should seek and watch out for the things concerning the perfection and establishment of saints in the present truth (2 Peter 1:12) for the end goal should be obedient to the word of God (for I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. Romans 15.18:19) lest anyone be deceived and allure into another gospel and another Christ like king Jeroboam deceived the Israelis by the golden calf he made Israel to worship, one at Bethel and another at Dan to keep the people away from God unto himself – this is the end game of the false teachers – to lord it over God’s heritage and their authority now supersedes the authority of the written-unchanging word of God to the end that whatever the false teachers says sometimes overrides the eternal word of God – this is nothing but spiritual manipulation or witchcraft. O you foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched not to obey the gospel? 1 Kings 12:28-29. Galatians 3:1. Note: the Lord working through them, confirming his word with signs and wonders following, but miracles which do not validate the truth in the servants and children of God to live as it becomes the gospel of Christ in the newness of life with the fruit of righteousness and holiness should be rejected. Mark 16:20. Philippians 1:27.

Miracles, church name or biblical spiritual emblem or logo is out of use to determine (but what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor.11:12-14) the presence of God in a church because Satan also work fake miracles and there are many synagogues of Satan out there where miracles are taking place in the authority of the name of Jesus Christ but he is not there because truth is perished from their midst, even as there are many Bethel outreach out there which leads to hell and is not the gate to heaven as formerly seen by Jacob when he fled from Esau.

The purpose of ministerial vocation of teachers and pastors with the rest of them is for the perfection of saints (to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Colossians 1:26-27) in all the will of God as they should speak, not only as the oracles of God, but as the faithful witnesses such as Christ was in the days of his flesh (for our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: but as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which tries our hearts. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness. 1 Thessalonians 2:3-5): the teachers, pastors and their congregations, by speaking the truth in love may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ (Eph. 4:15): having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, once their obedience is complete before the Lord.

The last day is an evil time when falsehood is thriving and flatterers prospers for the time being and evil men and seducers shall wax worst, deceiving and being deceived in the church. The false teachers and pastors grossly and openly speak and live in defiant against the truth alongside their broad way and wide gate seekers who are not able to endure sound doctrine (2 Timothy 4:3) but the true servants of God speak the word of God without any reservation or private or personal interpretation by rightly dividing and applying the word of truth without respect of person – not seeking for the praise, honor, approval, acceptance or remuneration from anyone if they should have to suffer hatred, need or rejection for speaking the truth.

Absolutely, there is nothing wrong with great numbers of multitudes of believers such as should be saved being added daily to the church by God’s doing when the word is spoken with power and authority in spirit and truth to fulfill the scripture that we should bear much more and greater fruit in the Lord, but the focus of false teacher’s pursuit is in the numbers of attendance, and not in the quality of spiritual life they can impart on the souls hearing them – the idea is, the greater the number, the better the monetary gain shall be. They appeal to the flesh and speaks often about not being religious because they should not be in any religious bondage while they themselves are servants of corruption (just as Satan appealed to the flesh and offered false and destructive liberty in the Garden to Adam and Eve) with nothing worthy of eternal values to offer the true children of the kingdom than to bring them into bondage and to debase the holy standards of God’s word by adding and removing from it, and to devalue its worth and merit for filthy- lucre gain, having men’s person in admiration because of advantage. Jude 1:16.

The true gospel of the cross of Christ cannot be without offence if it is sincerely preached for all its purposes and intents. False teachers are friends to everyone, except those who will openly confronts their hypocrisy which they will fiercely resist even as Balaam smote his ass which spoke with a man’s voice to forbade his madness. They play it safe with everyone, but not with God to whom they owe explanation and accountability as they preferred to offend him rather than man. Thus by pleasing men (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. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Galatians 1:9-10), they disqualified themselves from the position of being true servants of God to false teachers – cursed children who have forsaken the right way, and have gone after the way of Balaam for reward.

When men are not called and anointed by God but another man put them in one of the five- fold office as a minister of the gospel for whatever reason, what do you expect of them to become? Of course, they will become a man made to preach after men, and not God called or made to preach after him, but the end shall not be good – be not many teachers, knowing that we shall received greater condemnation. Galatians 1:1 and verse 11. James 3:1.

There are also brethren in the church who are not called to function in any of the five-fold ministry, but their zeal without sound knowledge of God’ word fuel up their pride for leadership position with covetousness to speedy up their ruin (for I know this that after my departing shall grievous wolves enters in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. Acts 20:29-31) from their ungrounded faults to resist, murmur and strife in rebellion against the authority of the local church, against truth and light: thus they hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they abhor him that speaks uprightly (Amos 5:10) to break away from the local church to form another group or start a new church comprises of itching ear believers in the name of being led by the Spirit of God. But, ask yourself this question, what are they doing better and differently in holiness and in revelation – sound knowledge in the sight of God in comparison to the former church which they had broke away from than their falling away to falsehood and new ways of self made ways of serving God?

When someone called and thrust himself into the ministry, what do you expect of him to become than self-made and self-oriented servant? There is another group of ‘certain men who have crept in unawares’. These are self called teachers and self made pastors of the word, men who are of old ordained unto this condemnation – sons of perdition. Jude1:4. Just like Satan their father, they are teachers of false liberty, having turned the grace of our God unto lasciviousness with all greediness (teaching what they ought not for gain. Titus 1:11) against the scripture that warns us to live daily in the new creature – to put off the old cloth and to put on the new garment – to put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him who did created him – to be crucified to the world and the world crucified to the believer: they mind earthly things, glory in their shame and they speak not like the people who are called, saved and delivered out of this present evil world (they are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:5-6), so their speeches and lifestyles betray them, but their end and the end of those who are following after them is eternal destruction – come out from them. Philippians 3:17-19.  

Sanctification and holiness must be lived out as we are called to be holy in all manner of conversation, but the false teachers preaches holiness and righteousness in such a way as to comfort you that Christ has made you holy irrespective of your behaviors and lifestyle which is devoid of the fruits of righteousness and true holiness in a collective and individual’s transformation that could be found in Christ new creatures. What a delusional generation and congregation of hypocrites who are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness? Proverbs 30:12. 2 Corinthians 7:1.

They excuses sin in themselves and others, (1 Timothy 5:20) and teaches that they will be spared for their sins as long as you just keep confessing and keep sinning (nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, the Lord knows them that are his. And, let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from sin. 2 Timothy 2:19), there is nothing you can do about sin as long as you are in this body of sin – the lying and deceitful word which is against the truth of the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, which has set us free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8: 2: 12-13. Romans 6:6.
