Loafers??? Talk about putting your foot in your mouth!!! As a preview
to a sandwich, this looks good to me, but as shoes that BECOME A
SANDWICH- NOT SO MUCH!!!! Well, what do we have here? Bread
masquerading as foot-ware. Phony, false, misleading, fraudulent,
deceiving, devious and the list could go on and on and on. Its a good
thing that does happen in "Christianity", isn't it??? Well, in fact it
does. When people superimpose their own ideas on what the Bible teaches, or something other
than what the Bible teaches they are false teaches, they err. The
Scriptures call them false prophets and I like what Jesus has to say
about them...
Matthew, Chapter 7
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
I
have never met a person who wanted to follow a false prophet, so why
does it happen? More importantly, how do you identify one? Jesus tells
us in the above passage. The fruit (results) of what they teach will
identify them. If the results of their teaching has a different outcome
that the Scriptural examples -BEWARE!!! Sometimes people can really talk
a good game and so you really have to listen and analyse what is being
said between the lines. A quick way I tell truth from error is this:
Does what is being taught harmonize with what the entire Bible teaches
as a whole or the book which it comes from and the surrounding text?
This requires work, so don't be a loafer- listen, learn, be discerning
and most of all see what the outcome of the teaching is. As far as those
loafers in the picture go- I wouldn't wear them- BUT, I would put some
meatballs and sauce in them and have some lunch.
