TOPIC: BE WARE OF FALSE PROPHET...continue

Text: Jeremiah 5:30-31 KJV
A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; [31] The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

The false prophet will seem as though he is theologically sound. The false prophet will use the Bible. It always amazes me when people defend false teachers in our day by saying, “I know that this man is truly of God because he just preaches from the Bible.” All of the major heretics in the history of the Church used the Bible to support their teaching, and they still do.
The false prophet doesn’t come to us saying, “Throw away your Bible,
The false teacher may have the reputation of being a great Bible scholar, with many theological degrees attached to the end of his name. The false prophet will use all of the same words that those who are sound in theology will use.

Jeremiah 14:14 KJV
Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

The false teacher will talk a great deal about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, salvation, grace, faith, living the Spirit-filled life, and living in communion with God. But if you listen closely to the false prophet you will find that when he uses those words he means something entirely different than what we mean when we use those words. False teachers have redefined those words and concepts. Theological liberalism has incredible capacity to use all these words that we use and recast them in totally different forms than their traditional meanings.
We often wonder how theological liberals could stand in church each Sunday and confess that they believe what is taught in the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed.

I used to believe that they said those words with their fingers crossed behind their backs, but they don’t have to do that. All they have to do is redefine the words and the concepts. Many theological liberals can say that they believe what is taught in the creeds, but only in a metaphorical, rather than a literal sense.
Matthew 24:11 KJV
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
They can continue to parade themselves as Christian ministers, professing to believe what the Bible says, while at the same time denying what the Church has always taught about our fundamental beliefs. Don’t be deceived by their language. The false prophet will probably be using the same language that you and I use.

LET US PRAY
FATHER SAVE US BY YOUR TRUTH FROM ALL FALSE AND FAKE IJN
