False Prophets
There is a lot of prosperity gospel being preached out there today. There are preachers of massive churches standing before their congregations who just preach that God wants you to be prosperous and always have lots of money and for your health to always be good.
The problem is that Scripture doesn't teach that. Scripture teaches that as a result of sin that there will be pain and suffering. Genesis 3 teaches it.
God allows us to go through things to strengthen our faith in Him and to remind us of His power and ability to help us. We cannot, and will never be able to, help ourselves.
Many of those false preachers also refuse to confront sin. They confront sin in what they call "a different way." Sorry, fellas, you are wrong. We are sinners saved by grace and we still sin and we must confront sin, ask forgiveness for sin and accept that forgiveness.
I've also heard them say that God is the judge of whether someone who does not believe in Jesus goes to Heaven or not. While I agree that God is the ultimate judge, that doesn't mean Jesus can be removed from the picture. Any person, religious teaching, preacher, teacher, human being who does not believe Jesus is the way to Heaven is not going to Heaven. Scripture is absolutely clear on this in John 14:6.
Until next time...............
