The Good News is the Good News
Whose responsibility is it?
Whose responsibility is it to make sure that the information we receive is in fact the truth? The simple answer is that it is the responsibility of the individual to make sure the information is true. Fact checking has gone out with the internet. Don’t you know the fallacy, “I read it on the internet it has to be true?” This is funny coming from an internet site isn’t it? The difference is I am going to give you a way to fact check what I am writing. Consider the following statements.
- We will all be held accountable to God for every word that comes out of our mouth.
- Teachers of the Word of God will be held at a higher rate of accountability.
- Ministers preachers teachers who do not accurately teach the word of God will be cursed.
- People who believe false teachers will be held accountable for not fact checking their parents teachers and preachers.
- The Word of God is judging not me.
Very simply:
#1) Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Mat 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
#2) James 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
#3) 2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
Galation 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
#4) 2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. :5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
1John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
The good news is that there is a way to be saved and not cheated out of life eternal with God. It is up to you to follow the way that leads to eternal life. Read your bible. Obey God not man! Question the teacher. Make the changes necessary in your life now. You are one day closer to eternity and it lasts forever.
