incorruptible seed

The ONLY source of faith

Rom 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Rom 14:23b - for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Prove all things

1 Thess 5:21 - Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

1 John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Isaiah 8:20 - To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them

Acts 17:11 - These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

You search scripture in order to tell if something is true.

2 Tim 2:15 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

You study scripture in order to rightfully divide the word of truth.

Warning

Deut 12:32 - What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. (also Deut 4:2)

Is it fear?

Concerning accusations of “being in fear”.  TRUE! I am in fear… FEAR OF THE LORD.

The lampstand is the only source of light inside the tabernacle or temple Holy Place.  It has seven lamps on one lampstand made out of a single piece of pure gold. (Ex 25:31-40; Ex 37:22)

Revelation references the 7 spirits of God. (Rev 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; and 5:6).

Isaiah 11:2 - and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of 

the Lord;

Fear of the Lord is not last in the list, it is at the bottom of the list signifying it is the FOUNDATION upon which knowledge, might, counsel, understanding, and wisdom are built.

Prov 9:10 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding

Psalm 111:10 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever

Ps 119:120 - My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

Phil 2:12b - work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Drunk on corrupted wine

Luke 5:39 - No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

Sowers of corruptible seed

2 Tim 3:1-9 - This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,  ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

Prov 30:6 - Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Consequences

Rev 22:18-19 - For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Luke 17:2 - It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Gal 1:6-9 - I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:  which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.  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.  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.

2 Cor 11:13-15 - For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

2 Peter 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.

Isaiah 9:16 - For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

Our Responsibility

Eph 5:11 - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Instead of reproving them, many pastors are “bidding God speed” to false teachers for their own gain but they will not escape the consequences.

2 John 1:10-11 - If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
