Colossians
2:8 says “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit,
according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the
world, and not according to Christ” (NKJV). People of this false humility bring
into church what I called “Self-inclusion schemes” to ensnare the liberty of
the saints and to channel a solemn heretic belief like Oprah Winfrey who says
there are other ways to God apart from Jesus. Paul affirms that the simple
message of Christ is much more profound than the greatest secular wisdom could
be.
These wolves in sheep clothing hope to have their works transcends grace which is the person of Christ, they import alien doctrines that are not rooted in the Scriptures; saying we have found new revelations! But alas, what they called new revelation is altogether the glory under the sun—the glory of the grass that must wildered way. What they have as a message is a broken glass to leave a scar on the hearer and to make the heart sick.

The message Bible really described this set of people in 2
Timothy 3:5 which says: They will make a show
of religion, but behind the scenes they are animals. Stay clear of these
people. These promote controversies rather than God's work —which is by faith.
1 Timothy 1:4 (NIV). Apparently
some people have been introducing fantasy stories and fanciful family trees
that digress into silliness instead of pulling the people back into the center,
deepening faith and obedience. 1 Timothy 1:4 TMB. Some will say church service
is becoming so boring let upgrade it with comedy and this wind of coarse
jesting has veiled many from the gospel truth, hence making many to love the
excitement that gives strength to the flesh when the real need of the soul is
being neglected. Some are of the opinion that one can go ahead to do anything
immoral to his/her body since is the spirit that is born again, people under
this tag go about sinning and at the same time claiming their spirit is not
affected; when the Bible clearly says in 2
Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, “What promises”? (The promise of 2 Corinthians
6:14-18), beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh
and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God (NKJV).
1 Corinthians 1:25 relates that, for the foolishness of God
is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's
strength (NKJV). God’s finished work on the cross through the Son of His love,
Jesus Christ inaugurated a new order; that only faith in the Son can one be
saved from the impeding corruption of this age. In that some still count it foolishness
to rest in the redemptive work of Christ, but decided to stay aloof in the
doctrine of works; seeking vain alternatives to meet God’s righteousness, that
I called the “Doctrine of additive” and it is obvious in the gospel of truth that
no one can gain righteousness with God by work enterprise, as the Bible says in
Galatians 2:16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but
by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might
be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the
works of the law no flesh shall be justified (NKJV). So, whoever comes to press
in a new doctrine that Christ is not enough for our redemption or Christ has
not come in the flesh (read 1 John4:2,3) is not of God. More so, whoever limits
the gospel to set of rules has lost the power of the Cross and this set of
people is prone to grave error. Christians who discerning spirit is at work in
them will recognize them as they come close, for some words that sounds good to
hear is not the same as speaking the rightful words from the Scriptures, as the
Bible says in Ecclesiastes 12:10 that the Teacher searched to find just the right
words, and what he wrote was upright and true (NIV). Obviously, we know those
who abandon the truths and morals of the gospel in favor of false doctrine
meet with catastrophe.
Here
Is A Test To Determine If Any Revelation Is True Or False:
·
Does it reinforce
God’s Word, lead me to Christ and fill me with love for His church.
·
Align itself with the
clear and complete teachings of the Bible.
·
Strengthen my faith
and give me an honorable purpose in life.
·
Turn me from
wrongdoing, promoting righteousness and purity in my life.
·
Find wide acceptance and
affirmation by notable men and women of God.
·
And build up the body
of Christ, equipping believers for the work of ministry.
Therefore, avoid the deception of demonically inspired teachings that sound good, but bring destruction and death in the end. Teach only sound, biblical doctrine. Do not attempt to teach what you do not fully understand. Operate from a motive of love, faith, and good conscience in all you do. 1 Timothy 1: 3-7. Be warned that some will abandon faith in Jesus Christ for demonically inspired teaching. Understand that hypocrisy is an open door to deceiving spirits. 1 Timothy 4:1, 2. Guard carefully the truth you have been taught! Reject human knowledge that denies the faith. 1 Timothy 6:20, 21. In conclusion, be wise in all things, stand fast, and let the Holy Spirit establish your heart blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
