Beware of those who come to be your friends but hold fast to false religion and doctrine. They will flatter you to gain your trust and then begin to work on you to soften your doctrine and God's truth to bring you to their side.
Galatians 4:16-18 "…16Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you will be zealous for them. 18Nevertheless, it is good to be zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am with you.…"
Just recently I had a Catholic woman come asking to be my friend here on Facebook. She was adamantly defensive of the Catholic church using worldly arguments to justify her religion.
In recent years we hear Catholics using the same words and phrases that protestants use. And, we have protestants are now using the same words and phrases that Catholics have used in the past confusing the doctrine and believers.
We have believers now who wonder if Catholic is Christian when in the past all believers knew that if someone was Catholic they were not saved.
Do not be fooled, when a Catholic says we are saved by grace they do not mean it is a free gift. When a Catholic says "we are saved by grace" they mean the more good deeds we do the more graces we gain and a better chance they will gain heaven.
God teaches that no one can earn heaven or be good enough to please God. The only way to heaven and to God the Father is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
God also says if anyone brings a false doctrine we are not to eat with them or even to greet them. We are to bring the gospel and if they refuse it we are to walk away. We are not to be constant companions with those who have a false Jesus or false doctrine.
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 "14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?…"
In these last days, many religions are adopting terminology that Christians used for many years. It is a deception to confuse those who are not well-read in the Word. If you do not know your Bible it is easy to be fooled about what is truth and who is born again.
Know your Bible, question all things and never be afraid to ask questions when someone claims to be a Christian. Catholics are using the word Christian now and so are JW's, as well as Mormons. All of these churches are pagan and wicked. All of these religions have false gods!
Deuteronomy 6:13-15 "…13 Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name. 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you. 15 For the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God. Otherwise, the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.…"
