2Tim 3:2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
v. 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
v. 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
v. 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
The ministers of the church interprets the Bible with the carnal mind, and they cannot come to the truth of it, their "form of godiness" is religion, certainly not truth. They teach and believe the only thing they can know/understand... and what is so telling is that when they are shown the truth, they deny it!
Titus 1:15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.
v. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.
I have very little patience with anybody trying to 'teach' me heresy... they want you to hear them out, but would have very little time for your knowledge, it's not like you can get through to them anyway. And if I just listen without disagreeing, is that not like letting them think you agree with them? Nobody from the church has to explain anything they believe to me, after all I was there most of my life... I know what they believe, but they just can't comprehend what I do. I am not intimidated by there ability to quote many verses either, so I go with "from such people turn away!"
mercy, peace and love
