Naming Names of False Teachers & False Prophets “MARK THEM which cause DIVISIONS & OFFENCES CONTRARY TO THE DOCTRINE which you have learned; and AVOID them.” -Romans 16:17 (KJV) Jubal Lynn says, The Word is truth Always Ceazar, but that scripture does not say to name names and point fingers. There are always people who follow people. That is what the scripture refers to. We test all things with what? The Word! It is not naming names and pointing fingers that reveals false teachers and doctrine, It Is The Word! If A Preacher or Teacher is NOT Correctly Teaching Essential Christian Doctrine (the True Gospel of Jesus Christ, etc.) and the Teaching is keeping people focused on this Life & on the Broad Path to Hell, OR if they are Prophesying Falsely (Deut 13:1-18, Deut 18:20-22), we are to “MARK THEM” (NAME NAMES of False Teachers & Deceivers)— of which Paul did 8 TIMES in 2 Timothy seen below. Rom 16:17-18 (KJV) “MARK THEM which cause DIVISIONS & OFFENCES CONTRARY to the DOCTRINE which you have learned; and AVOID them. For they that are such SERVE NOT our Lord Jesus Christ, but their OWN BELLY (personal interests); and by GOOD WORDS & FAIR SPEECHES (smooth talk) DECEIVE the HEARTS of the SIMPLE (i.e. innocent, unsuspecting, naive, undiscerning).” False Teachers must be SILENCED as Titus 1:10-14 rightly states. They are: Rebellious, Mere Talkers, and Deceivers: Titus 1:10-14 (NASB) ”For there are MANY REBELLIOUS MEN, EMPTY TALKERS and DECEIVERS, especially those of the circumcision, who MUST be SILENCED because they are UPSETTING WHOLE FAMILIES, TEACHING things they should NOT TEACH for the SAKE of SORDID GAIN (dishonest). One of themselves, a PROPHET OF THEIR OWN, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” This testimony is true. For this reason REPROVE THEM SEVERELY so that they may be SOUND IN THE FAITH, NOT paying attention to JEWISH MYTHS and COMMANDMENTS OF MEN who TURN AWAY from the TRUTH.” One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” The Apostle Paul “Name Names” of 8 Deceivers— for the Protection of the Church— in 2nd Timothy. Here are the 8 Deceivers: 1 – Phygellus – 2 Tim 1:15 2 – Hermogenes - 2 Tim 1:15 3 – Hymenaeus 2 Tim 2:17 4 – Philetus – 2 Tim 2:17 5 – Jannes – 2 Tim 3:8 6 – Jambres – 2 Tim 3:8 7 – Demas – 2 Tim 4:10 8 – Alexander the Coppersmith – 2 Tim 4:14 Fore more info --> fortheloveofhistruth/2012/04/16/judging-others-should-christians-judge/#more-4385
