From Us But Not Of Us

The thing about false teachers is that they have a certain sound and a certain alure that is attractive to the flesh and to our reasoning, and they carry a certain ability to draw people behind them. But they lead people to their own detriment and destruction because they are leading away from Christ. It is vital to us that we understand that in these days there are many antichrists who desire to lead us away from the truth of God. We must be equipped to recognize and avoid the danger. The Bible says that “a prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.”

1 John 2:18-23

"Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also."
