Hypocritical Liars


Paul in 2 Timothy chapter 4 talks about hypocritical liars who have followed deceiving spirits, and things taught by demons. They not only follow them but teach and persuade others to do the same.

What are some of these things that are taught that do not come from God?

Paul is referring specifically to those who were teaching about abstaining from certain foods because they were sinful. Also, those who were promoting celibacy as godliness. He was referring as well to legalism which was stifling the Spirit of God. Lastly he speaks against those who are teaching godless myths and old wives tales as if they were the very Word of  God.

What would be some demonic teaching taught today? Demonic in the sense that they are not from God and are destructive. The following are not put in any specific order. Some may seem greater evil than others, but all are lies from hell.

1) Macro-evoloution
2) It is fine to be homosexual.
3) Divorce and remarriage, no matter what the reason is not sin.
4) Tithes and offerings are optional.
5) You don't have to be baptized or a member of a local church.
6) Abortion is not evil or a sin.
7) Living together is not a problem or a sin.
8) Rules and regulations on how you dress and comb your hair.
9) The work of the church, Christ's body is for a few (leaders).
10) The Word of God and prayer of not great importance.
11) I  don't need other believers or be accountable. It is just me and God.
12) Anyone who is not a member of my church or denomination is lost and going to hell.
13) Jesus is not the Son of God or put more simply not one of the God head.
14) The greatest sin is adultery or fornication.
15) As long as you believe God exists, and are a good person, you are on your way to heaven.

I am sure there are many others I have not mentioned here.
