"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils [demons];

    Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

    Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."

 

                                                                               1 Timothy 4:1-3

 

    The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them," Matthew 7:20. 

 

    I repeatedly point out in my writings that most of the churches (and not a few pulpits) are filled with lost religionists today, but few "professing Christians" want to hear it.  I am labeled as being unloving, unkind, judgmental, filled with pride, a Pharisee, divisionary, non-progressive, and other terms that are not fit to be repeated, and all of this by so-called "Christians." 

   

    Some "Christian" websites actually post the perversions of these "false teachers" who claim to be "Christians," but  won't post my Bible studies refuting their false teachings with book, chapter, and verse from God's Word, because  "these people claim to be Christians too, and they would be offended, and after all, we really don't know what is in their heart."   Oh Yes we do!  The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh," Luke 6:45.  If that statement is not true, then I'll leave it up to someone else to call the Lord a liar. 

   

    God's people [those truly saved] shouldn't be giving these "religious apostates" one iota of aid or sympathy, or coddling them, or trying to pacify them, or "tip toeing through the tulips" with them, and we sure shouldn't be giving them a platform from which they can spread their perversions of Scripture and outright lies.  But.....we live in a day when we need some Apostle Pauls in the ranks of Christianity, and for the most part all we have is "lukewarm Laodiceans."  And if this statement offends anyone, please feel free to write and apologize to me.
