Beware Lest Any Man Spoil You [video]

“Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: … 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. … 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 1:28; 2:4, 2:8

Nancy Cote writes: “I thank God for ministries like this one that offended me and my false beliefs. I worked in a seeker-sensitive church for 10 years and attended there for 20 years until I left in 2014. I would still be there—deceived, backslidden, living for worldly lusts, deluded by humanistic psychology, self-righteousness, etc.—if it had not been for these Bereans’ obedience to the Truth. I was offended enough to research for myself if these things were biblically genuine, and found I was deceived and backslidden from Scriptural truth. The preaching of the cross of Christ, which keeps one focused on biblical truth, is lacking in these seeker-sensitive churches, and therefore there is no correction of error. I have not been the same since I began to study the Scriptures for myself. Now, I’ve become a Berean, discerning and proclaiming biblical truth, continuing to learn God’s ways, being pruned by God and longing for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s soon return.”

Over reaction on the Bible topic of false leaders? If you can find the phrase “many true prophets” in God’s Word, show it TO US PLEASE. Hint: It’s not there. Yet, we are repeatedly warned of “many false prophets” who would “deceive many” and how in these last days “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” (Matthew 24:11; 1 John 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:13)

Jesus warns:

“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”  Revelation 3:11

It’s only those who are still in darkness who hate discernment, fruit inspection, and warnings…. because they don’t want to be uncovered, they are un-repentant! John 3:19-21
