WHY IS FALSE DOCTRINE BELIEVED AND PREACHED?  by steve finnell

Why is false doctrine believed and preached? Why do believers in Christ reject the truth or fail to follow God's commands? The short answer is pride. Pride defined: When men think they are smarter than God.

From the beginning Satan believed he was smarter than God and convinced Adam and Eve that they could be like God. [Genesis 3:1-5....5"For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. NKJV]

Men listen to false teacher rather than believing God.

If elders fail to oversee the churches, then false doctrine will prevail. [Acts 20:17-30......28"Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. 29 "For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 "Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. NKJV]

Men draw away disciples by saying water baptism is not essential for salvation.

Men draw away disciples by advocating that men should pray to the Virgin Mary and other dead saints and that all man-made church doctrines nullifies the Scriptures found in the Bible. They teach that church catechism is divine doctrine.

Men will draw away disciples by teaching that some have been selected for salvation and all others have been chosen to burn in hell. "What could be more prideful than that?"

Those who believe men rather than the teaching of the Bible are subject to being drawn away by savage wolves.

God did not write one single creed book. God does not inspire Bible commentaries. God did not form denominational churches. 

Jesus died for one church, His church. 

THE BIBLE AND THE BIBLE ALONE IS GOD'S ABSOLUTE TRUTH!
