Don’t believe a different kind of gospel to the one you first received. 2 Corinthians Chapter 11.

Pause for thought

Don’t let satan plant a false gospel in your Christian circle! Paul warns against the Corinthians gullibility, it seems that they were heeding the false teaching of the Judaizers (ie) those who taught that to be a real Christian they needed to obey the Law of Moses which included if you were male being circumcised. Paul said their gullibility was bringing them into bondage to a different gospel. This is not restricted to first century Christian’s there are false teachers who infiltrate themselves into todays church they are wolves in sheep’s clothing, their teaching resembles Christs but is very different, it’s really new age teaching propagated by their own prophets and teachers. There are also 21st century Judaizers who teach a work based gospel that knows nothing of grace and is inspired by satan 11:14.

False Apostles reveal their identity by boasting about their “ministry” telling tall stories, that God’s forgiveness means we can lead immoral lives, claim authority from dreams, defy authority, scoff at Angels, takes your money, so selfish thinking only of themselves, they promise much but can produce nothing 11:16-21 Please read Jude 3-16.

The pure bride of Christ should be wise to the possibility of false teaching and false teachers, the Corinthians devotion to Christ was being threatened. But Paul told them to keep focusing on the truth that he preached and his own experience as an Apostle of Jesus Christ . Like them let’s not allow ourselves to be side tracked in anything, to be clear we must check any new teaching against the Bible and refuse to listen to anyone or anything that contradicts God’s word 11:3-4.

Memory verse

If I must boast, I would rather boast about the things that show how weak I am. God the father of our Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows I tell the truth. 11 30-31 N.L.T.
