Reasons Why Christians Are Falling For False Teachings And Doctrines ( Edited ) by Nobody: 9:30am On Jan 17, 2013 |
One question that has entered my mind very often is why are so many Christians falling for false doctrine in today’s church? Many times I have sat in churches listening to distorted messages coming from the pulpit and have never returned. However, what I found more disturbing was watching Christians blindly following false doctrines and being easily deceived by people claiming to be servants of God. |

The reasons why Christians are falling for false teachings and doctrines and putting up with it are because Christians over the years have been preconditioned and set up by the status quo and establishment to fall for the false teachings and doctrines Moreover, since most Christians, don't know any better and are none the wiser, they will believe whatever debasement(s) are flung at them, hook, line and sinker The journey at this side of eternity, unfortunately for Christians, does not stop with only reading the bible. but also to read beyond these errant bible translations (i.e. all in varying degrees have strayed from the proper or real meanings of some word(s) in the original Hebrew and Greek texts/scripture) and to study beyond these errant bible translations to show oneself approved unto God. Not nice unwelcome or harmful things happen when Christians practice or repeat teachings and doctrines without properly or exhaustively analysing or comprehending them. Christians need to be considering wordings, teachings and doctrines in details and to understand these wordings, teachings, doctrines etc instead of lapping up regurgitates and lies without questioning anything If a teaching or doctrine sounds too good to be true, it means it's more than likely a lie. Mindful example will be ""You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman." Gen 3:4 NIV Christians should not base their understanding principally on the Bible alone, because ALL the translations are errant as hinted earlier on above. Christians should be carrying out investigations on words, texts etc and referencing them from whichever bible they are using, with the original Hebrew/Greek texts It is ONLY the original Hebrew/Greek texts that are inerrant and not KJV and the other translated Bible(s) Christians reading the bible by itself, only, without cross checking words, texts etc with the original Hebrew/Greek texts can be and will be damned by the bible. This is the silver bullet and way forward, of course in-conjunction with the Spirit of Truth, for such a complicated problem as this # Side-lining the bible translations (i.e. KJV et al) what does the wordings "eternal punishment" Matthew 25:46 really mean from the original Greek text's perspective 2 Likes |

Image123: @Image123 Image123, my dear bro, the "having or burying ones head in the sand" stance na wa ooo. " . . . make we see, or keep shut" is an ostrich-person refusing to face reality, the truth or accept facts. Avoiding hearing the truth, especially when ignoring the truth, potentially could be dangerous, is not healthy The word of God in its original Hebrew or Greek texts is unique (i.e. it is impossible to have an absolute translation) The reality is that the bible is not exempted from error because the various bible translations were done based on the widespread theology at the particular translating time or also based on individual religious beliefs and theory so the need to speak, plead, or argue in favor of [size=20pt]using resources like lexicon, concordances[/size] etc etc of course in-conjunction with the Spirit of Truth to cross check the accuracies and genuineness of translated words, texts etc of each or whichever bible version used and confirming whether or not the Hebrew or Greek sentiments, intents etc were carried through. Every Christians should be putting bibles through sieves This will separate false teachings and doctrines (e.g. like the introduction of phantom words like hell for Sheol and Hades, among a lot more others into the bible) # There are a lot more than the eyes see |

Image123: I agree with you on this one not completely sha, but i agree. It's not possible for everybody to learn greek just because we don't trust the versions in circulation. i can just imagine the 75 years old convert in my village (that can't even read or write in English or any language) attempting to translate from the original greek manuscript some people must rely on others and trust that the information being shared is accurate. |

I would not go down the route of insisting that all Christians use Greek or Hebrew dictionaries, for one, not all of us have access to these materials and the majority of believers only have a copy of the bible. What we need is teachers in the body of Christ who can rightly divide the word of truth . One thing is clear though , the days of false teachers and their gullible members are over, their false doctrines and teachings will be exposed for the heresy that they are. 1 Like |

frosbel: I would not go down the route of insisting that all Christians use Greek or Hebrew dictionaries, for one, not all of us have access to these materials and the majority of believers only have a copy of the bible. I have been doing quite a lot of research last year (interrupted by other inane stuff). I have come to realize that across the various Bible Translations/Versions, Scriptural Doctrine that spoke against a practice, has been distorted by translation such that in the more recent versions the same Scripture now supports such practices. imagine the consequence.. if it was not okay to be Gay in the past translations the New Scripture makes it rationally acceptable. the Bible is being changed, slowly but surely |

oiseworld: Bro, You don't have to understand the languages (hebrew or greek). I also don't, all you need is a good concordance; I will recommend strongs or preferably get E-sword its a computer application that gives quite a number of translations and has a good concordance. The concordance helps you check out words and their root true meanings in the greek or hebrew. For example "life" in the new testament is translated in three different ways and "love" is translated in 3 or four ways. Gdobless |

Delafruita: christianity and its confusion.goodluck in your quest for heaven Confusion is the product of laziness and the dubiousness of MAN.

frosbel: @frosbel Essentially the clarion call is not solely an advocacy but also an awareness, problem resolution options and false teachings & doctrines control. False teachers or dodgy bibles in the wrong hands will kill Christians. Blind teachers will indiscriminately, if not deliberately fire shots at blind Christians. If Christians can so much own or get a bible they, such Christians, since their lives depend on this, should also invest in a "bullet-proof helmet & vest kits" and "X-ray vision kits" in the form of dictionaries, lexicon, concordances etc Christians are preys and shooting targets, so if unable to duck or dive, when being shot at, the bullet-proof kit will give some degree of protection The X-ray kit, like, as with the Bereans, will allow Christians succeed by themselves in understanding teachings, interpreting scripture or in other cases identifying false teaching or doctrines. "And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul's message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth." Acts 17:11 NLV # Every Christians should aspire to be teacher, as iron sharpens iron # False teachers, beware, the chickens have come home to roost 2 Likes |

Well written. The only part I find unacceptable is the part that seem like all sinners go to hell.I will shock you by saying even most false prophets are heaven bound. Enough of all those if u lie u are going to hell thing. Even most greedy members of their ministry will make heaven. Simply because,not 1 person on the face of the earth can say he is of no sin. The only 1 without sin has paid the price. And by his ressurection anyone that believe and accept him his saved (grace). for this immeasurable gesture of love- All we should use to pay back is living our lives by the manual which is the bible. |

Anyone who repents from their sin and places their trust in JESUS will enter into the kingdom of GOD. But , for those false prophets/teachers who carry on in and with their deception, this is the promise to them : "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them-- bringing swift destruction on themselves ." - 2 Peter 2:1 |

shdemidemi: @shdemidemi First, start and stop using the word hell Hell is a myth belonging to other people's culture which was imported into the bible by translating Sheol or Hades to hell Hell is not and no where found in the original Hebrew or Greek texts Sheol and Hades have implications, meanings & interpretations different to hell's In essence, hello, hell no. There is no hell, particularly with, the way you imagine it to be or were taught it to be. Rendering Sheol and/or Hades as hell is a disservice to Christendom or the Christian world # There is more than the eyes see bro. Stephen's death, The thief on the cross, the Rich Man & Lazarus etc |

There is simplicity in christainity..don't even go to Peter...Peter chose to speak with the jews and was even called a false prophet by apostle paul.We have to rightly divide the word of God. And as for hell.If those who see God get comfort the other part get discomfort and that's what I call hell.don't go in to revelation cos no one will truely understand it until it comes.that is afterlife brethren. The only person that really tells us how to be saved is apostle Paul in his letters to the church. |

shdemidemi: There is simplicity in christainity..don't even go to Peter...Peter chose to speak with the jews and was even called a false prophet by apostle paul. Not True. Peter was never called a false prophet by Paul. Show us the scripture to support this strange allegation. We have to rightly divide the word of God. And as for hell.If those who see God get comfort the other part get discomfort and that's what I call hell.don't go in to revelation cos no one will truely understand it until it comes.that is afterlife brethren. The only person that really tells us how to be saved is apostle Paul in his letters to the church. Wrong again. Jesus was the first to tell us how to get saved not Paul and then in the acts of the apostles Peter followed by the other apostles, Paul arrived at the scene later on. Finally, in as much as I do not believe in HELL as described by false teachers, there is indeed a lake of fire for the desruction of the wicked, arrogant and sinners. " [a]“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty." - Malachi 4:1-3 |
