We know that God is truth and He cannot lie nor contradict His written word. So when we consider the things we hear and the things we read and believe, we must ask ourselves as to where does this line of thinking, this belief we have, whatever it might be, as to where is comes from. Is it of God or somewhere else and if somewhere else then from whom?
We know that Satan is the father of all lies.
John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
Satan's intent is to destroy God's children, we Christians.
1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Satan wants to destroy us. So how does he accomplish this? He simply tries to get us to believe in his lies. Lies can be serious, that is believing in them, because they can potentially cause you to drift away from Christ.
1Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
Doctrines of demons! This is where False teachings come from. They come from Satan, from demons.
2Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
There are a great many False Doctrines/Teachings out there in Christianity so be on guard. Study the Word with an open heart and mind and be willing to be wrong in what you believe so that God can reveal His truth to you with His written word guided by the Holy Spirit. Be wise, be discerning.
1John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Paul is refering to hermeneutics. I do believe you can be 100% correct in your theology. What I don't believe is that you can know everything there is to know. The Word is like a 3D puzzle. You have the answers depending on which side of the puzzle you are looking at. And as you turn the 3D puzzle you learn more and more.
GraceMae you right, humility is terribly needed. Thank God that no one can boast!! perseverance is also needed after you have been humbled, to keep at it. Thank God for his faithfulness...
rapio, i think your spot on, although a theory like that would only make sense to some of us. i have this friend who is very incremental, she needs to have the next step of the puzzle before she does anything else, where as you and i would take a step back and look at the bigger picture and not mind that a few pieces are missing... but as GraceMae said, everything is possible with God. so, no worries.
A good point to add here is that a believer is expected to know the will of God in any matter, there is spiritual growth and we will grow in our knowledge and understanding of the word as we obey the word.
The expects us to know, and if we don't know to study until we know, the entrance of his word always brings light.
Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Col 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
This prayer in Colossians is very similar to the Ephesians prayers
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Soooooo, with all the scriptures Walter has given, I'm still trying to figure out how through these scriptures given, does this lets us know where false doctrines and teaching start. Where do false teachings come from?
I would think that the doctrine of demons is a by-product of what happens, or takes place, WHEN...
I suppose my question is how does a person receive the teachings or doctrine of demons in the first place, instead of the doctrine of Christ?
I mean, The devil can't just give you something UNLESS a person is open to receiving it.
Doctor of Demons is simply that of coming from demons
The first example is in Genesis when Satan come to Eve and said God didnt say.
Another good one is That Jesus did not die for all mankind.
The Gift of the holy Spiirit is not for today
Healing is not for today
Man cannot depart from his salvation.
The biggest and most vital for me is the topic of Faith as Jesus taught us, when you do not understand bible faith, you can miss any topic.
You hear it a lot on this site, the words written in the bible are dead.
This is a real good one that the lord is even the evil you see in this world. I believe Jesus made that clear to us The father of lies is the root of all evil,
If yo mean me with "the words of the bible are dead" you might have misunderstood me.
All I say is: Without the Holy Spirit, the words of the bible won't come to life and be of no help, yes, they can without the Holy Spirit even be used against God, as it is also written in the bible itself.
