This is actually a very complicated and at times difficult thing to actually see, hear and realize.
One thing I have come to understand is that people truly do listen and accept these teachers of lies and swear it is the truth and is fact. In fact too many fall for these deceivers lies and embrace them and carry them out for others to hear.
The core element that gives these serpents power over those that chose to listen is one thing. The person that listens and chooses to follow them.
You see human nature is to seek after self-gratification, the desire to satisfy one’s own lusts and desires.
Many teach this doctrine. You can have wealth here and now. You must only seek after that which makes you happy. You must only care only for your own happiness.
You have heard these teaching stated in various ways, but all equal one think. Self-approval, self-reward, self-glory. The self.
The desire to come to work at the last minute or late, because it is inconvenient for you to come to work, and you only do it because you need money to indulge your other wants and desires. This is the self.
Taking advantage of others for your own glory and reward. This is the self.
Hording all your wealth for your own personal wants and desires in this world. This is the self.
If you find that others call themselves “Christian” live totally different then you. If those that say they are “Christian” seek to help others and you look at them and see them as blind misguided. In reality it is you that are blind and misguided and should in no way call yourself “Christian,” for in reality you aren’t.
If you hear people say that to seek after your reward here is this life is not truly seeking after God. This is real Christian teachings.
If you hear people say that Jesus will physically return to this planet and upon that day the Mt. of Olives will split in half. That is real Biblical teachings.
If someone names a day for the return of Jesus, understand that the Bible makes it clear that only God Himself knows the day of Christ return and none of the creation can know what the Creator knows. If that someone that named a day and it comes and goes without Christ, as it should happen as stated above. Yet they go and say it was a “spiritual” happening. Know that they are liars and tools and followers of the father of lies. So to them the “god” they worship is not the true God, but Lucifer, the angel that was cast out for his personal desire is to be worshipped and they are giving him his greatest desire.
Galatians 1 makes it very clear that ANY that say they are giving the good news, and profess to be saying or doing the will of God or Jesus Christ and it does not fall in line with what is written in the Bible are twice over cursed.
If they say you can get your reward now. They are cursed. If they say we are in a spiritual tribulation. They are cursed. I am not judging. I am not saying this. This is the words of the Bible and per 2 Timothy 4:1-5 I am simply reproving, rebuking and exhorting. Any that would accuse me of judging are themselves doing the judging and so it is they that most remove the timber form their eyes before they seek after my splinter.
