In summary:
Good equals love and kindness
Bad equals hate and evil
Not exactly rocket science there, but in the real world - possibly no way to know soon enough!
1 John 4:1-6
John knew there were wolves in the church - looking to lead the Church astray
Think of the heretic, Marceon, whom almost destroyed the original following of Jesus!
He pick and chose what he wanted to believe as a follower of Jesus.
Luckily, he was found out and expelled from the early Church.
Unfortunately, about two-thirds of the existing church went with him!
Are You Following A False Prophet
Don't believe everything you hear.
Test the spirits!
Falsehood echoes throughout the history of the Church and today's electronic media!
Half-truths are always worse than falsehood.
Unity in the essentials of the faith.
Freedom in all else.
D not just accept and believe!
Test, Pray, Wait!
The True Jesus
Which Jesus do you believe in?
We continually create Jesus in our own image!
Our worldview.
Supporting and bound by our culture, wants and desires ...
Jesus was God
Came in the flesh
Was cruxifed
Was resurrected
And is still God.....
Are You Trusting The Greater Spirit?
Is your God an overcomer?
A champion?
A companion?
Living?
Does your faith yield the fruits of the Spirit?
The Holy Spirit always points to Jesus.
Are You Listening To The Right Teachers?
Who is your authority?
1. Scripture
2. Orthodox
