| In Proverb 14:12 and Jer. 10:23 God's word tells us that man cannot direct his own way and if he tries to it will lead to death. The Bible also tells us the man's ways is of corruptible seed(Matt. 15:9). Many women and men follow the teaching and doctrines of men. Man tells people you can get saved anywhere and any way you want. Here are some examples: I got save sitting on my couch while watching a preacher on tv. I asked the lord to come into my heart and I was saved. I heard the lord voice calling me and I was saved. I said the sinners prayer in my car, bed, office, store, etc.. and was saved. Tom came forward and kneeled and prayed and he was saved. All these ways are the way of man on how to be saved not God's. This is "false teaching". What happens when you follow these ways. Them that believeth not shall be damned. They shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and the glorly of his power. II Thess. 1-9 For them that will not recieve the love of the truth, God's word that they might be saved. God will send them a strong delusion and he will let them believe that they are saved but they will be damned because they will not accept God's way and be saved in how his word told us to. Matt. 7:26-27 Listen to man and be foolish and lost. Matt. 17-5 Tells us who to listen to "the son of God". God's way: God's ways are right. God's thought's are not man thought's or ways. God's ways are perfect. God's word will guide us the right way. Man must be born again, but not of corruptible seed. I Peter 1:23 The good seed being born out of the word of God. Luke 8:11 Jesus said that man needs to be taught the way of the Lord. John 6:45 Man needs to hear and learn God's way. John 14:6 Go teach. Matt. 28:19 Man needs to hear God word to have true faith. Rom. 10:17, Heb. 11-6 Jesus said to go preach the Gospel to everyone and them that believeth and is baptised(God's way) will be saved. Mark 16: 15-16 Jesus said if you reject me and recieveth not my word. John 12:48 He also said you will be judged by what words that are written in this book, (not by what I think or what you might think or anyone else thinks) but by what is written, these are the words of our Lord Christ Jesus and they will be what judges us in the final day. |
