It Is Right To Expose False Teachers: False teachers are free to spread their poisonous doctrines today because there is a conspiracy of silence among many Bible believers. Wolves in sheeps clothing are thus enabled to ravage the flock, thereby destroying many. John the Baptist called the Pharisees and Sadducees (the religious leaders of his day) a generation of Vipers (snakes) (Matt. 3:7). Today, he would be accused of being unloving, unkind, and unchristian. Jesus said to the religious Pharisees, O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh (Matt. 12:34). To many evangelicals and some fundamentalists, this would be unacceptable language today, but it is biblical language and it came from the mouth of the Son of God. Standing face to face with these false teachers, Jesus Christ the Son of God, called them hypocrites, blind guides, blind, whited sepulchres, serpents, and ye generation of vipers (Matt. 23:23-34). Yet, we are told today that we are to fellowship with men whose doctrines are just as unscriptural as those of the Pharisees. Some who say they are Bible believing Christians insist on working with Roman Catholics and other assorted heretics. Yet, according to many, we are not supposed to rebuke them for their compromise. Near the beginning of His ministry, Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence, make not my Fathers house an house of merchandise (John 2:13-16). Our Saviour is presented today as one who was meek, lowly, kind, and loving, even to false teachers, but this is entirely false. When dealing with false teachers and prophets, His words were sharp and His actions plain. Near the end of His public ministry, Christ found it necessary to cleanse the temple once again. The exposure of false doctrines and practices is a never ending job. At that time He said, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves (Mark I 1: 17). Is it any different today? The thieves come into the house of God, and rob Gods people of the Bible and peddle their perverted Bibles instead. At the same time this den of thieves rob the people off the doctrine of separation and the doctrine of sanctification. Then you can hardly tell Gods people from the people of the world. In all honesty, should not these thieves (false teachers) be exposed? In our day these false teachers have come into the churches with their books, music, literature, movies, psychology, and seminars, and have turned the Fathers house into a den of thieves. It is time that men of God stand up and expose their errors for all to see. ~ Pastor E.L. Bynum [IS IT RIGHT: To Judge, To Expose Error, & To Call Names?] 1911 34th St., P.O.
