Scriptures Weekly 11 - Counterfeit Christianity

This is a multi-part reading this week because it is such an important subject.

"Counterfeit Christianity"

Did you know that Christianity is a taught religion? And did you know there are now over 38,000 different church movements today? One does not learn error and, at the same time, obey the truth. Many if not most churches have taught incorrect gospels, and many have sincerely, though erroneously, been led to believe that a false doctrine (teaching) is genuine Christianity.

 2 Peter 2:1-2,

"But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute."

And the Apostle Paul says in Galatians 1:6-7,

"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ."

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12,

"...and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

So, what does the seeker do?

2 John 1:8-11,

"Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works."

And...

2 Timothy 2:15,

"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
