Bible Studies: 2nd John Should You Let False Teachers Cross the Threshold?What should be the Christian's attitude toward false teachers, and what should motivate that attitude? How should this govern the church? How should this govern the Christian home? What should you do when you become aware of false teachers in the church, or when representatives of the cults come to your door?In his short second epistle, the Apostle John gives answers that run counter to much of contemporary teaching on these vital questions. http://www.teachingtheword.org Give No Encouragement to False Teachers 2nd John tells us that granting a false teacher access to your church, home, or mind is to become an accessory to his spiritual crimes. http://www.teachingtheword.org/apps/articles/?articleid=85660&view=post&blogid=7302 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:00:00 -0400 Give No Access to False Teachers 2nd John verse 10 has a dual focus: False teachers must have no access to the church, or to the believer's home and family - and by clear implication, to our minds anywhere, any time. http://www.teachingtheword.org/apps/articles/?articleid=85659&view=post&blogid=7302 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:00:00 -0400 The Key Element of Christian Unity There is a tendency, especially in our postmodern time, for Christians to "love" without regard to truth.
