Avoiding False Prophets and Idolators

 Avoiding False Prophets and Idolators

Positive Christianity Series Episode #230


Paul describes that we can not practice sin, idol worship, temporary lies, vices, and adultery. We learn that instead of practicing sin, we can keep persevering in the worship of GOD Almighty and avoiding false prophets and idolators. We learn that we need to avoid false prophets and idolators. We are also not supposed to partake with false apostles who "appear" to help while actually attempting to lead to sin, adultery, idol worship, and foolishness.

"I write to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people- not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolators, since then you would need to go out of the world."- 1 Corinthians 5: 9-10

We learn that  Paul tells us to avoid idolators who are known to be greedy, swindlers, and practice adultery. Paul describes that we also need to avoid false apostles who say that they are Christian while actually disobeying the commandments of Moses. These false apostles and false prophets may say they are Christians, but actually are working for evil. We can have discernment with the help of GOD Almighty to distinguish between righteous Christians and false Christians. We learn that false Christians may know a lot about Scripture, but they do not obey the commandments of Moses and try to tempt to the practice of idol worship and adultery. We learn that Paul was reviled and slandered by false prophets and false apostles who actually worked for evil. A true Christian would never slander and revile his fellow brothers and sisters in Christ nor place a temptation to them. We can know if an individual is a false apostle because they work for evil and tempt others toward disobedience towards the practice of idolatry and adultery. If we know that individuals practice sin, idol worship, and adultery, we should avoid such people 2 Timothy 3: 1-3.

"But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolator, reviler, drunkard, or swindler- not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church who you are to judge? GOD judges those outside. 'Purge the evil person from among you.'"- 1 Corinthians 5: 11-13

Paul reminds us that we are to avoid false Christians who say they are Christians while they practice adultery, greed, idolatry, revile and insult others, are drunkards, and swindlers. We learn that we should avoid such people and not have them as friends nor acquaintances. This is because bad company corrupts good morals. This is because false Christians actually work for evil and do not want to accept correction or reproof. We learn that we are supposed to see the actions of individuals and not only what they say. Anyone can say they are a Christian, but do they actually obey the commandments of Moses, preach truth, encourage others, practice genuine empathy, prefer pacifism over envy and hate, and hate evil.

We are supposed to help our brothers and sisters in Christ and avoid false prophets and false apostles who only want to lead to sin and idolatry. We know that if a person is idolatrous and adulterous, we can avoid such people. We choose to be far apart from such people and instead preach and worship GOD Almighty.

For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you ."- Luke 6: 37-38 King Jesus Christ describes the manner that there is the need to practice true justice, equity, and equality instead of hypocrisy and sin.
