FALSE TEACHINGS

ABOUT CHRIST

1 Now the Spirit expressly says thatin later times some will depart fromthe faith by devoting themselves todeceitful spirits and teachings ofdemons,2 through the insincerity of liarswhose consciences are seared,

1Timothy 4:1-3

3 who forbid marriage and requireabstinence from foods that Godcreated to be received withthanksgiving by those who believeand know the truth.

1Timothy 4:1-3

HOW TO TEST FALSE TEACHINGS

1 Beloved, do not believe everyspirit, but test the spirits to seewhether they are from God, formany false prophets have gone outinto the world.2 By this you know the Spirit ofGod: every spirit that confesses thatJesus Christ has come in the fleshis from God,

1John 4:1-3

3 and every spirit that does notconfess Jesus is not from God. Thisis the spirit of the antichrist, whichyou heard was coming and now is inthe world already.

DENYING THE DEITY OF CHRIST

JESUS IS NOT GOD BUT ONLY A MAN

1 In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God, andthe Word was God.

14 The Word became a humanbeing and, full of grace and truth,lived among us. We saw his glory,the glory which he received as theFather's only Son.

JESUS IS GOD

6 He always had the nature of God,but He did not think that by force Heshould try to remain equal with God.7 Instead of this, of His own free willHe gave up all He had, and took thenature of a servant. He became likea human being and appeared inhuman likeness. (GNB)

Philippians 2:6

FALSE MESSIAH

DOCTRINE

JESUS IS ONLY A MAN CHOSEN AS MESSIAH IN HIS TIME, BUT NOW GOD CHOOSES A MAN TO BE A MESSIAH FOR OUR TIME

THERE IS NO OTHER MESSIAH BUT JESUS

ALONE.

WE MUST OBEY THE TRUE

TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE

AND NOT THE FALSE

TEACHINGS.

TRUE LASTING RESULTS.

RESULTS ONLY EXTERNAL

DRAMA.

RESULTS OF OBEYING

GOD’S WORD.
