False Teachers In Our Midst

“(1) The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.  (2) Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.”  1 Timothy 4: 1-2 (NIV)

I think this passage from First Timothy sums up perfectly the following article titled, ” ‘Faith Leaders’ Undermine God’s Plans for Marriage”,  from Allie Martin from OneNewsNow:

“An official with the Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD) says it’s a sad sign of the times that a group of “faith leaders” in Iowa signed a document declaring their support for same-sex “marriage.”

The letter, dated and made public on Tuesday, was signed by more than 160 faith leaders and was presented to lawmakers during a news conference held by the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa. It says many faith traditions affirm that “where there is love, the sacred is in our midst” — and goes on to say: “This belief is the same for couples comprised of a man and a woman, two women, or two men.”

…….(commentary by Ms. Martin) -Wisdom says it also damages the church when pastors, who are charged with defending God’s Holy Word, promote unscriptural practices.”

God’s Word is absolute Truth.  It is Living.  It is Divinely Inspired and it is Infallible.  As much as we may want to twist it, misinterpret it and or deny it in order to rationalize our ignorant and sinful desires and lifestyles,  we can’t.   Homosexuality is an abomination against God.  He plainly states this in His Word.  God has an extreme hatred and disgust for it (as for all sin) and He will not change because we have confused worldly, carnal love as God’s love.  

As ”little Christs”, we have to recognize the schemes of Satan, and not allow ourselves to be deceived by these false teachers.   Open your spirits and ask God to show you the Truth revealed in His Word.  He will show it to you, He will teach you, giving you knowledge and wisdom that isn’t of this world. 

This spiritual slop is of Satan.  Let’s call it for what it is – an all-out assault on God’s institution of marriage by satan and his posse.  Remember, satan has already been defeated.  Let’s stop giving him power that he is no longer justified and entitled to have.  The Church has got to rise and be the voice of God in this evil generation, speaking the Truth of Christ, no matter what.  God’s already won this battle.  Let’s remind satan and this world of this truth.
