Like you said it, Sid, whoa, I got 44 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.599 a Sunday Service trying to play. I didn't mean for 45 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.199 that to happen. But yeah, thank you guys all for 46 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.039 your comments. Really appreciate it. Looks like you guys were 47 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.240 commenting to each other too, which is which is awesome. 48 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.080 So it gives us eight comments on Sunday Service, So 49 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.800 what a blessing. And yeah, the debate was was fun, 50 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.879 you know, it was fun. I enjoyed debating like that 51 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.560 when I have somebody that's, you know, across from me 52 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.879 that gives respect, allows you to talk the whole debate. 53 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.360 We didn't even interrupt each other, not once, you know. 54 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.479 So it was the most cordial debate that I had. 55 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.759 Him and this guy Peter Markley was another one. I 56 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.599 thought it was pretty cordial our debate that we had too. 57 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.159 We got a little more heated in ours, but we 58 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.120 weren't really mad at each other. We were actually treating 59 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.039 each other fairly. And there was two Christians on that one. 60 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.479 And this is actually a Christian and atheist, so me 61 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.400 being the Christian, him being the atheist, and it actually 62 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.479 ended up being a cordial debate. And you can't ask for, 63 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.639 you know, a more respectful person to talk to you, 64 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.360 because usually when I debate people that are atheists or 65 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:30.479 that hate God, or they're secularists or secular humanists, it 66 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.120 ends up being a little different. You know, we're they 67 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.280 don't even allow you to talk, and was called me 68 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:41.719 stupid for being a Christian, you know, just wretch it. 69 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.199 So it was really nice to have somebody across from 70 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.919 me that that was nice and courteous. You know. I 71 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:52.159 really love that, really appreciate it. So thank you guys 72 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.319 so much for all the comments, all right, and everybody 73 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.560 on YouTube when this gets to YouTube, thank you guys 74 00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.599 all for your comments.

I really 113 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.519 appreciate you for everything that you Thank you, guys.

But all right, 116 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.399 let's go ahead and get to my notes real quick 117 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:17.519 so I can get ready for this First Timothy chapter four, 118 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.800 which I really like First Timothy chapter four because back 119 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.480 in the day, I used to pull this up, you know, 120 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:28.839 when talking to people about you know, about certain things 121 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.160 that I was trying to go over, you know. So 122 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.319 it's nice to actually go through the whole thing with you. 123 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.439 So let me just go ahead and do a quick 124 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:42.079 overview of First Timothy Chapter four. Introduction. First Timothy chapter 125 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.560 four is an essential chapter in the New Testament, where 126 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.920 the Apostle Paul issues a prophetic warning about the advent 127 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.360 of false teachers in the church Church's future. He further 128 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.319 encourages Timothy and by extension, all believers to stay spiritually fit, 129 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.439 setting an example through godly living. He concludes by outlining 130 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.040 the attribute it's a good servant of Christ and the 131 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:07.360 importance of instructing and encouraging others in the faith. So 132 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:12.120 let me just hop down to my teaching points. There 133 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.920 we go, and let me pull up. Let me just 134 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.959 pull up on Bible Hub real quick, so you guys 135 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:26.959 can see on the screen, Fir Timothy. Chapter four. Oh yeah, 136 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.439 the Super Bowl just happened. I don't know if you 137 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:35.079 guys watch that usually. I don't really watch football that often, 138 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.680 but I did watch the Super Bowl, like the second half, 139 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:44.160 and it was very boring. This year. It was very boring. 140 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:45.639 It was like one of the most boring is Super 141 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:50.519 Bowls ever watched the halftime show, I didn't. I didn't 142 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.000 really see too many The good part about it is 143 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.759 I didn't really see all the satanic stuff that I 144 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.800 normally see, So I'd have to check on some of 145 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.920 my conspiracy compadres that that kind of go over that 146 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.079 kind of stuff, you know, signs and you know, and 147 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.360 and usually like call this is a call for an uprising. 148 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.480 As one guy that I he always get breaks that down, 149 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.160 so I'll have to check out his stuff and see 150 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.439 what he found. I didn't really get a chance to 151 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.319 look at all that because I heard it in the background. 152 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.800 But I was just doing dishes because everybody cooked before 153 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.879 I got here, you know, so I just had that 154 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:29.639 I'm the one that does the dishes here at the house, 155 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.800 so I had a whole bunch of dishes to do. 156 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:33.240 So I was like, you know what, let me catch 157 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.519 up on him while this halftime show is going because 158 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.679 I don't understand Spanish, so I was just kind of 159 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.679 didn't get a chance to watch it thoroughly. But once 160 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.399 I hear a breakdown from one of my friends, I 161 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.840 want to maybe do a little breakdown on my show 162 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.080 if I see anything crazy. But all right, So one Timothy, 163 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.320 chapter four, The Great Apostasy. Okay, so it says now 164 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:58.279 the Spirit expressively says, in latter times some will depart 165 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.039 from the faith, giving he to deceiving spirits and doctrines 166 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:07.080 of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience 167 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.759 seared with the hot iron, forbidding to marry and commanding 168 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.879 to abstain from foods which God created to be received 169 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:17.240 with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 170 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.679 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is 171 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.519 to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving, for 172 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.960 it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer. 173 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.360 So here we have a warning against false teachers. Right, 174 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.519 so Paul warns, in latter times some will abandon the 175 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.960 faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons 176 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.120 one Timothy four, verse one. This highlights the reality of 177 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:49.320 spiritual deception and the need for discernment. So the Bible 178 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:55.600 provides numerous ammunitions against false teachings, emphasizing the importance of 179 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.440 sound doctionrin and the dangers posed by those who distort 180 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.720 the truth. These warning are found throughout both the Old 181 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:06.759 and New Testament, underscoring the perennial nature of this threat 182 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.960 to the faith community. So even back in the Old 183 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.679 Testament we have a foundation for this. The Old Testament 184 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.600 sets the stage for understanding the gravity of false teachings. 185 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.039 Deuteronomy thirteen, verses one through three warns against prophets or 186 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.320 dreamers who lead people astray, even if their signs or 187 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.559 wonders comes to pass. If a prophet, this is what 188 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.759 the verse says. If a prophet or dreamer or of 189 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.720 dreams arises among you and proclaims a signed or a 190 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.240 wonder to you, if the signed or a wonder has 191 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.279 he has spoken to you, come to pass. But he says, 192 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:42.879 let us follow other gods which you have not known, 193 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.720 and let us worship them. You must not listen to 194 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.360 the words of that prophet or dreamer. This passage highlights 195 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:53.799 the importance of fidelity to God's commandment God's commandments over 196 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:59.440 miraculous signs. The New Testament continues this theme with explicit 197 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:03.600 warnings for Jesus and the apostles. In fact, in Matthew 198 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.840 seven fifteen, Jesus cautions beware of false prophets. They come 199 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.039 to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they're revenous wolves. 200 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.480 This metaphor illustrates the deceptive nature of false teachers, who 201 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:21.039 may appear benign but harbor destructive intentions. The apostle Paul 202 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.200 frequently addressed the issues of false teachings in his epistles. 203 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.720 In his Letter to the Galatians. He expresses astonishment that 204 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.639 they are so quickly deserving the one who called you 205 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.159 by the grace of Christ, and are turning to different gospels, 206 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.879 which is not even a Gospel of Galatians one, verses 207 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:44.279 six through seven. Paul's concern is that any deviation from 208 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.759 the true Gospel undermines the foundation of faith and the 209 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:51.000 pastoral letters. Paul provides further guidance on dealing with false 210 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.159 teachers in One Timothy four, verses one through two, which 211 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.559 is what we happen to be going over, He warns 212 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.000 the spirit clearly says in the latter times some will 213 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:03.200 abandon the faith, followed deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 214 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.120 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars whose conscience have ensured 215 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.080 with the hot iron. Here, Paul attributes false teachings to 216 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:17.200 demonic influence, emphasizing spiritual danger apostolic warnings. The apostle Peter 217 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.039 also addresses the issue in tewod Peter two, verse one, stating, 218 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:26.360 but there will also but there were also false prophets 219 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.519 among the people, just as there will be false teachers 220 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.679 among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying 221 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:39.440 the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. 222 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:42.360 Peter's words echo the Old Testament warnings in it from 223 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:47.159 the continuity continuity of this threat. The apostle John in 224 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:52.720 the Epistles provides criteria for discerning truth from falsehood. In 225 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.519 first John four, verse one, he advises, beloved, do not 226 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:59.399 believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether 227 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.480 they are from God. God, because many false prophets have 228 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.960 gone into the world. John emphasizes the need for discernment 229 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.759 and testing of teachings against the truth of Christ. So 230 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:14.639 before I go forward, So this is why it's important 231 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.639 for us to read the Bible verse by verse and 232 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:22.200 go over the whole entire Bible in entirety, because then 233 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.200 you have something to test it against. Because if you 234 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.519 don't have it to you know, if you don't have 235 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.679 the word of God to test it against, then what 236 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.799 are you going to test it against? Your own opinion, 237 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:36.519 your own thoughts. So going through the Bible verse by 238 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.279 verse like this, then you'll know the truth right. And 239 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.399 then as we go into round two, you'll know the 240 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.320 truth even further. And as you continue to read the 241 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:46.720 Bible year after year, you're going to have so much 242 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:51.080 faith built up and also so much knowledge that when 243 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.519 someone tries to come with you, come to you with 244 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:57.000 a false teaching, then you're not going to be easily deceived. Right. 245 00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.440 So that's the whole thing about what John was saying 246 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.759 here where he says, beloved, do not believe every spirit, 247 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.000 but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, 248 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.279 because many false prophets have gone into the world. He 249 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.200 emphasizes the need for discernment and testing teachings against the 250 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.200 truth of Christ. Right, So that's the thing. We have 251 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:19.000 the Bible and we have the Word of God, so 252 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.559 we know what the truth is. But it's up to 253 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.840 us to search for the truth, right, for us to 254 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.200 go verse by verse and read the whole entire Bible. 255 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:29.000 So that's why I believe that a lot of pastors 256 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:30.919 should be doing this. You know, you should be going 257 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.000 verse by verse. Now, it's not the easiest thing in 258 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.399 the world. I'll just let you guys know that, even 259 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:40.720 for me. You know, like it's not easy because there's 260 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:44.480 some parts of the Bible that you that that you 261 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.440 go over that takes longer to learn, you know. So 262 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:50.600 it's not it's not easy to teach through the Bible. 263 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.440 But the thing is, it is mandatory for Christians to 264 00:14:55.639 --> 00:15:00.480 know where they can Where are they going to be 265 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:01.919 able to pull the truth from it? They don't know 266 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.320 the Word of God right, So it's very important. So 267 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.759 let me continue in these notes. It says the early 268 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.600 Church was vigilant and safeguarding against false teachings. The Jerusalem 269 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.960 Council has recorded in Acts fifteen addressed the issue of 270 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.720 gentile believers, and then Mosaic law setting a precedent for 271 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.840 resolving doctrinal disputes. The church's call to uphold sound doction. 272 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.759 As Paul instructs Titus, he holds firmly to the trustworthy 273 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.440 message that as it has been taught, so that he 274 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.799 can encourage others by sound doction and refute those who 275 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:37.120 oppose it Titus one, verse nine. The biblical warnings against 276 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.960 false teachings serve as a timeless reminder of the need 277 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.600 for vigilance, discernment and the adherents of the truth of 278 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.919 the Gospel. Believers are called to be rooted in scripture, 279 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.440 guided by the Holy Spirit, and committed to the teachings 280 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.279 of Christ and the apostles. Okay, so that's the conclusion. There. 281 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.440 Another thing that you can kind of look over is 282 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.639 let me find it real quick. This is something I 283 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:12.440 think is important. Hold on really quick. So it is 284 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.840 one Timothy six, verse twenty, which we're going to get to. It's, Oh, Timothy, 285 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.080 keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoid profane 286 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:24.360 in vain babblings and oppositions of science falsely so called, 287 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:28.039 which some professing have aired concerning the faith. Grace be 288 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:32.320 with thee amen. The first to Timothy was written from Leidesia, 289 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:38.679 which is the chief city of Figeria Paciitania. Right so, 290 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.759 and then two Timothy it says all scripture is given 291 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.919 by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, 292 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:54.720 for correction, for instruction, and righteousness, that the Man of 293 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.919 God may be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work. Okay, 294 00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:59.519 So that's the part I really wanted to read, was 295 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:04.039 that second tymathy part. So it's profitable for doction, for reproof, 296 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.240 for correction, right. So that's what I'm talking about there. 297 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:09.880 So when you know the scriptures, then you can use 298 00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.920 them and they'll become profitable for doction, for reproof, for correction, 299 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.559 for instruction, and righteousness, that the man or woman of 300 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.680 God may be complete. Right, it says man here, but 301 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.559 you can put if you're a female, then you can 302 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.279 put female there too. Okay, perfect. So let's go ahead 303 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.759 and check out another thing. It's the characteristics of false teachers. 304 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.960 Let's find out what that is. These individuals are described 305 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.960 as hypocritical liars with seared consciousness, understanding that traits help 306 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.480 us to identify and avoid false teachings. Let's look up 307 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.079 some characteristics of false teachers. False teachers have been a 308 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.880 concern for the Christian Church citizens inception. The New Testament 309 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.799 provides numerous warnings and deceptions descriptions of these individuals, highlighting 310 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.319 their deceptive nature and the dangers they pose to the 311 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.079 faith community. Below. Our key characteristics of false teachers is 312 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.359 outlined in the scriptures. So number one deceptive and cunning. 313 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:09.079 False teachers often use deception to lead believers astray. They 314 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:12.279 may appear genuine and sincere, but their teachings are contrary 315 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:15.119 to the truth of the Gospel and Tewo. Crinthree Is 316 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.519 eleven thirteen through fifteen. Paul warrens for such men are 317 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:23.519 false apostles, deceitful workers, mascarine and as apostles of Christ. 318 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.079 And no wonder for Satan himself masquerades as an angel 319 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:30.359 of light, it is not surprising that his servants masquerade 320 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:36.240 his servants of righteousness. Okay. Number two distortion of the Gospel. 321 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.640 A hallmark of false teachers is the distortion of the 322 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.559 gospel message. They may add to or subtract from the 323 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:49.119 core truths of Christianity, leading to a different gospel. Galatians one, 324 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.759 Versus six through seven states, I am astonished how quickly 325 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:54.799 you are deserting the one who called you by the 326 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:58.039 grace of Christ, and turning to a different gospel, which 327 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:02.839 is not even a gospel. Number three Greed and exploitation. 328 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.799 Many false teachers are motivated by greed and seek to 329 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:12.519 exploit their followers for financial gain. Second Peter two, verse 330 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:16.160 three wars in their greed, their false teachers will exploit 331 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.599 you with deceptive words. The long standing verdict against them 332 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.480 remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep. Number 333 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:28.759 four immortality and lack of integrity. False teachers often lead 334 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.039 lives that are inconsistent with the moral teachings of Scripture. 335 00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:39.839 Their actions betray a lack of integrity and holiness. Jude one, 336 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:43.400 verse four describes them as ungodly people who pervert the 337 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:47.000 grace of our God into a license for immorality. Oh 338 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:50.160 I said immortality. It's immorality and lack of integrity. Sorry, 339 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:54.799 immorality and deny are Master, the Lord, Our Master and 340 00:19:54.880 --> 00:20:00.480 Lord Jesus Christ. Number five denial of Christ's sovereignty. Critical 341 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.359 air of false teachers is the denial of the lordship 342 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:08.200 and divinity of Jesus Christ. Second Peter two, verse one states, 343 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.640 but there are also false prophets among the people, just 344 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:14.559 as there will be false teachers among you. They will 345 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.640 secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who brought them, 346 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:24.680 bringing swift destruction on themselves. Number six is causing division. 347 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.000 False teachers often create division and strife within the church. 348 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:33.279 Their teachings can lead to factions and disputes among believers. 349 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:38.839 Romans sixteen seven, sixteen seventeen through eighteen. Advisors, Now I 350 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.319 urge you brothers to watch out for those who create 351 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.319 divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teachings you 352 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.559 have learned. Turn away from them, for such people are 353 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.759 not serving our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own appetites. 354 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.960 By smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the hearts of 355 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:59.680 the naive. Number seven appeal to human desires. False teachers 356 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.119 frequently appeal to the fleshly desires of individuals, promising freedom 357 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:08.279 while leading them into bondage. Tewod Peter two eighteen through 358 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:14.799 nineteen explains for thy mouth, for they mouth empty boastful words. 359 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.319 For they mouth empty boastful words. And by appealing to 360 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.519 the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who 361 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:24.319 are just escaping from those who live in air. They 362 00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:28.880 promise them freedom while they themselves are slaves of depravity. 363 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.160 Number eight The final one rejection of authority. A common 364 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.319 trait among false teachers is their rejection of the spiritual 365 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:48.240 and es h ecclesiastical authority. They often set themselves up 366 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.960 as the ultimate authority, dismissing the guidance of church leaders. 367 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.240 In Scripture Jude one to eight notes, yet in the 368 00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:58.160 same way they use dreamers to file their bodies, reject 369 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:02.279 authority and slander glorious being the New Testament. Portrayal of 370 00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:06.200 false teachers serve as a cautionary guide for believers urging 371 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:09.440 vigilance and discernment and maintaining the purity of the Gospel 372 00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:12.839 and the unity of the church. So that's something Number 373 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.279 six is causing division. So that's something that I'm trying 374 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:21.519 to you know, when I'm actually in a church setting, 375 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:24.039 I try not to do. But there's something that I 376 00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:27.799 talk about that, you know, I'm realizing causes a lot 377 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:31.400 of division, which is biblical cosmology or flat earth. You know. 378 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.559 I don't think the you know, talking about geocentricity will 379 00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:36.960 be as bad, but if you ca it, talk about 380 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.599 flatter earth, it causes division. So I'm just learning that, Like, hey, 381 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:43.160 I'm kind of steadying that. That's why I'm going up 382 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:46.119 to fifty three degrees nor fifty three degrees south find 383 00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:48.839 now if there's a symmetry on the earth, you know, 384 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.000 and trying to find these things out, because I don't 385 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:53.960 want to cause division, you know, and it's I don't 386 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:56.200 like it at all. I don't like I don't want 387 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:58.400 to do that, you know, And Romans sixteen seventeen the 388 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.119 eighteen is kind of letting me know not to be 389 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:04.640 that way. So yeah, so just want to go over 390 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.160 that with you guys. And there was a lot there, 391 00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:10.400 I know, but I definitely need you guys to know 392 00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:15.000 the characteristics of false teachers, and also the warning against 393 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.920 false teachings. That's really good stuff for us to know. Okay, 394 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.839 so let me just go over. Let me see if 395 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:25.799 I got the whole thing here. Yep, okay, so let 396 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.960 me just go over. A quick description of one Timothy 397 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:32.359 four versus one through five. What we just read it 398 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.559 says One Timothy four to one through five warns of 399 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:40.039 a future falling away from the faith, driven by deceptive 400 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:44.319 spirits and false teachers who promote strict legalism, specifically forbidding 401 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:49.119
