It's official now we know who the false teachers on this foum are and this is how we can tell
Posted : 9 May, 2021 07:45 AM
ADAM 7777 was asked a couple of simple questions 2 days ago to determine where he stood on the essential Christian doctrine of the trinity ; his stance on the seventh day Sabbath and a non essential question about whether the Earth was flat or round
instead he has opted out thus far
Jesus said “a tree is recognized by its fruit” (Matthew 12:33). When looking for “fruit,” here are three specific tests ( please see below ) to apply to any teacher to determine the accuracy of his or her teaching
A TRUE CHRISTIAN is not ashamed to preach the Gospels nor answer a couple of quick questions about them
Romans 1:16 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek
1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect

QUESTIONS FOR ADAM
Posted : 7 May, 2021 06:48 AM
Up to now, Adam has refused to answer simple yes or no questions. But we haven’t given up on Adam yet, so here’s another opportunity for Adam to answer a few questions with a yes or no.
Of course you’re welcome Adam to offer qualifiers with your yes or no answers
Adam, to date, you seem to indicate you haven’t sinned since “salvation” and you've lived “sinlessly” since then, therefore, in your mind, there is no need to confess sin since your “salvation”. Is this true? Yes or no
Adam, your friend FlatEarthTeddyBug believes the earth is flat and the law of gravity is a lie. Do you also believe the earth is flat and that the law of gravity does not exist? Yes or no
Adam, your friend Flat Earth Teddy believes everyone MUST keep the Sabbath according to the Old Testament Torah. Do you agree? Yes or no
Flat Earth TeddyBug also believes the Trinity is a pagan lie. Do you also believe the doctrine of the Trinity is a pagan lie? Yes or no
I have more questions but this is a good start
Thanks Adam for giving thought to these questions
Three simple questions that help to determine if that person is a false teacher or not
1) what does that person say about essential Christian doctrine Jesus, Trinity, the Virgin birth how to obtain salvation?
2) hypocrisy : do they try to put you under a burdensome Stone unfairly making it impossible to practice what they preach such as keeping a 7-Day Sabbath even though we are under the New covenant we are free to keep any day sabbath holy
3) do they have a holier than thou attitude ? Jude 11 says, “They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.” In other words, a false teacher can be known by his pride (Cain’s rejection of God’s plan), greed (Balaam’s prophesying for money), and rebellion (Korah’s promotion of himself over Moses)
Jesus warned us that “false Christs and false prophets” will come and will attempt to deceive even God’s elect (Matthew 24:23-27; see also 2 Peter 3:3 and Jude 17-18). The best way to guard yourself against falsehood and false teachers is to know the truth. To spot a counterfeit, study the real thing. Any believer who “correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) and who makes a careful study of the Bible can identify false doctrine.
For example, a believer who has read the activities of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Matthew 3:16-17 will immediately question any doctrine that denies the Trinity. Therefore, step one is to study the Bible and judge all teaching by what the Scripture says
