EXPOSING FALSE DOCTRINE (5) Gleanings From PROTOCOLS AND ETIQUETTES OF THE TRUE CHURCH-Dr. Magh Kuma IS DOCTRINAL BIAS The promoters of false doctrine cover their tracks by twisting Scripture. Every wino knows the verse which says...use a little wine for thy stomachs sake.... (1 Tim. 5:23) Of course he ignores the many, many Scriptures, which warn against using fermented wine as a beverage. Promise Keepers and other compromisers will quote Matthew 7:1 with vigor. Judge not, that ye be not judged. (Matt. 7:1) They completely ignore other verses in this chapter, such as, Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Matt. 7:15) How are you going to know false prophets, if you do not judge them? How can you expose the wolves in sheeps clothing, if you do not judge whether they are sheep or wolves? They ignore the verses about the trees and the fruit. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Matt. 7:16-20) You must judge a tree by its fruits. Even so, you can judge false teachers the same way. Jesus warned of the two gates and the two ways. The broad way leads to destruction, while the narrow way leads to life everlasting. How will you know which way is the narrow way, if you do not pass judgment? Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there he that find it. (Matt. 7:13-14) Jesus Christ commanded that we judge righteous judgment. Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. (John 7:24) Paul admonished the Church at Corinth to do that very thing, when he told them that he had already judged the fornicator in the Church. He urged the whole Church to judge him. (See 1 Cor. 5:1-13) When Jesus said, Judge not, that ye be not judged (Matt. 7:1), He is talking about hypocritical judgment. If you study vs. 2-5, you will certainly understand this.
