Things a Christian Should Not Pay Heed To

There are Things Preached Today that the Body of Christ should Never give Heed To

Are your ears invaded by dangerous words?
Brother Stair teaches that there are Damnable Doctrines taught in the Church today.
Do you have any idea how to know if a teaching is a demandable doctrine?

A shortlist of some Teachings that Christians should avoid:

Interpretations of Biblical events that turn into ‘special’ revelations
These are interpretations that have no validity to your Christian walk.
- Emphasizing Jesus’ soon return to the extent that the present is not valid
  As honorable as this may seem, it is a deadly distraction used by almost all cults and leads to impotence in the present truth.
  Jesus gave us a warning in Matthew 24:23-26 and Luke 21:8 about just such a message.

Sensationalizing current news events and politics
God’s Kingdom is not of this world, do not think that the world views are going to parallel His.

Constant talk about the coming Anti-Christ
If you want to identify the real item you do not waste your time studying counterfeits.

Speaking explicitly about sex
Oddly, this is often done by those who also teach that you should abstain from sex, and forbid to marry.
“I forbid you to marry her/him” They may tolerate or allow it, but they strongly shun it. (1Tim 4:3)

- Speaking against having sexual relations among spouses and against bearing children
  This is to break down intimacy amongst couples so that the leader has an entrance to fill the sexual void.
The only way to be saved, or prepared, is to follow us or be one of us
This is anti-Christ. Jesus is the Savior. He is the perfecter and finisher of our faith. Christ plus anything = nothing. Why seek ye another?
Teaching that sins in the heart or in the spirit are worse than those sins acted out in the flesh
Those who teach this are doing so as a cover-up for the sins they are committing in the flesh.

Preaching that there are different Gospels. That the Gospel for today is different than what it once was
All we can say here is read Galatians chapter 1. Paul makes this abundantly clear – there be only One eternal Gospel.

Ministers bringing up your sins or making you a partaker of generalized ambiguous sins
They often do this to justify their own sins while they magnify yours. Straining at your gnats while they get you to swallow their camels (Mt 23:24). Sometimes they also claim all sins are the same – after making yours worse. [No free passes here preacher]

Demanding obedience without question. Don’t think, just do!
Jim Jones demanded this of his followers. God Himself does not demand this. He said ‘taste and see’, you choose, ‘choose you this day’, He doesn’t demand it.
Worship is freewill. Demanded obedience is slavery and anti-Christ. The usual reason for this is so that when they ask you to do something questionable, something sexual – that you will do it without thinking, without question, without hesitation.

Outsiders are our enemies
Do you mean those people that Jesus reached out to and died for? That’s definitely elitist cult talk. This is a separation tactic to isolate you so that you are dependent upon the leader and have no one to help you get out. Isolationism is not the Gospel. It is a sign of the End Time deceivers.

Those who leave this Church/Group are damned
This is a fear tactic and a lie – therefore anti-Christ. Again, elitist cult talk. Your first clue should be that they are claiming that they alone have the keys to the Kingdom, the way of salvation, or some secrets from God for the End Times. Something that it is not through the blood of Jesus but through fellowship with them. Run! Jesus called this Satan’s deeper truths or Satan’s so-called deep secrets. Flee!

Any and all physical, spiritual, mental, or verbal abuse
In the Church of God, there is no place for the ways of Satan. The way of peace they know not (Isa 59:8).

Your family is your enemy if they do not believe what we believe
Again, isolationism is not the Gospel. It is a sign of the End Time deceivers.

Interpreting news events to fit with their theological teachings
To stir up fear or bring glory unto themselves. Wait long enough and the news will always have something about something that they proclaim is to come. Then you’ll get a “See, I told you so”.

People lie about me/us (minister/congregation/sect)
Why would people be saying anything about you? Did not give them a reason to do so? You have obviously done something. Could it be your fruit is showing? You know, that thing you’re identified by – your fruit, your works (Mt 7:21). Good trees don’t produce bad fruit. It’s likely people are telling the truth about you that you don’t want anyone to know about. It just doesn’t fit the lies you’re spinning about yourself.

These are some teachings that are taught for doctrine and they are from demons (Mt 15:9). They are Doctrines of Demons (1Tim 4:1). They are not of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-26; Rom 8:9) they are of the Works of the Flesh from the Devil (Gal 5:18-21; Rom 8:9).
