CHAPTER TWO
THE FALSE PROPHETS ~ PATHWAY TO HELL

In our study of false salvation, we have seen that Christ bluntly says the vast majority of
Christians are NOT going to enter heaven, but will end up rejected. We have also seen a
common denominator as to why this is so: they fail to lay hold of AGAPE LOVE,
THEY FAIL TO BECOME REGENERATED. We have proven that sincerity is not the
issue, but rather deception, a deception laid down by Satan himself, a deception so subtle
that only the FEW find it and go on to find eternal life. It must be understood that those
under deception ARE NOT AWARE OF IT. Coming out from under religious deception
requires time and requires that a soul DESIRE TRUTH MORE THAN ANYTHING
ELSE IN LIFE If this desire is not present, deception lies at the door, and this will be
verified from the remarks of Jesus, who had much to say about it.

Disobedience to the commands of God to SEEK THE ULTIMATE TRUTH


(CHRIST), WITH ALL OF OUR HEART, MIND, SOUL AND STRENGTH lead to
the acceptance of false doctrines that appear totally correct to the unwary believer, who
embraces them as true. Due to human nature (of which pride is a major part), once a false
gospel is embraced as truth, it is very difficult to dislodge, and in many cases cannot be.
It requires one to admit one is wrong. Pride goeth before the fall.

It should be stated right now that when the term FALSE PROPHETS or FALSE
TEACHERS is used, no attempt is being made to differentiate between one who
deliberately intends to mislead because of hatred towards Christ, or the one who is
sincere but under a deception. The net result is the same: eternal ruin to the one who
embraces incorrect salvation doctrine.

"ENTER YE IN at the STRAIT GATE;

for WIDE IS THE GATE, and BROAD IS THE WAY,

that LEADETH TO DESTRUCTION,

AND

MANY THERE BE

WHICH GO IN THEREAT:

BECAUSE
STRAIT IS THE GATE,

AND NARROW IS

THE WAY,

WHICH LEADETH UNTO LIFE,

AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT.


(Matthew 7:13-14)

We are going to break this down more as we explore the method that Jesus gave us to
enter the New Covenant. Remember there are two gates, two ways, and that they
diametrically oppose each other:

WIDE VS. STRAIT

BROAD vs. NARROW

RUIN vs. LIFE

The word 'wide' is "platus", and it means SPREAD OUT, FLAT, BROAD; by
implication it means NO OBSTACLES, EASY, NO TROUBLES, BECAUSE WE
CAN EASILY TRAVEL OVER BROAD, FLAT AND OPEN HIGHWAYS. The root
of the word is "plasso", and it means TO MOLD, TO SHAPE OR TO FABRICATE. It
implies something that is a fabrication, something shaped or molded to look like the real
thing, but it is a counterfeit, a 'look alike'. The meaning of Jesus then is clear: the wide
gate and the broad way is a fabrication of Satan, molded and shaped to look authentic to
the unwary. It is a masterpiece of theology, a clone with a genetic flaw embedded deep
within, not detected by surface appearance. Satan knows that if a human soul discovers
there is a strait gate and narrow way, and elects to travel upon it, that CHRIST WILL
GAIN ANOTHER VICTORY. Thus all of Satan's efforts will be to keep a soul from
coming to this knowledge. Obstacle one of the parable of sower WAS DEMONIC
DECEPTION, and it is a major obstacle one must overcome.

The word '"broad" is "euruchorus", and it means WIDE, SPACIOUS, LOTS OF


ROOM, LARGE AREA. By implication therefore, it means that THERE IS ROOM
FOR THE VAST MAJORITY TO TRAVEL UPON IT, AND A MULTITUDE OF FALSE
SALVATION DOCTRINES TO EMBRACE. The root of the word is "eurus" and
"chora", which means EMPTY EXPANSE, SPACE, TERRITORY. The broad way is a
vast empty expanse, with a multitude of Christians traveling upon it, with a vast number
of denominational theologies all proclaiming "HEAVEN THIS WAY!" They each
manufacture their own theological methods for entering into the New Heart Covenant.
Their theologies, although radically different, have one thing in common: THEY ARE
EASY TO ACCEPT, EASY TO EMBRACE, APPEALING TO MAN AND HIS
CARNAL NATURE, TO HIS PLEASURES, HIS COMFORTS, AND PLACE IN
SOCIETY. This way leads to great comfort of the soul, for it convinces the soul that all is
well. He grabs hold of the New Covenant with great ease, proclaiming a new heart and
union with Christ that is non-existent. The whole thing is a fabrication of Satan from start
to finish.,

Opposed to this wide gate and broad way is what Christ termed the STRAIT GATE AND
NARROW WAY. Just as they are opposed in description, they are opposed in destination.
The word for 'strait' is "stenos", which means FULL OF OBSTACLES, NARROW,
COMPRESSED, VERY NARROW, SO NARROW ONE MUST STRIVE TO
ENTER IN BY IT. Have you ever tried to get into a door that you could only open a
small amount? It conveys that meaning.:

"STRIVE

TO ENTER IN

AT THE STRAIT GATE:

FOR MANY, I SAY UNTO YOU,

WILL SEEK TO ENTER IN,

AND SHALL

NOT BE ABLE."

(Luke 13:24)

The word "strive" is "agonizomai" and it means TO STRUGGLE, TO CONTEND


WITH AN ADVERSARY, TO FIGHT, TO LABOR FERVENTLY. Jesus also used
the term "overcomer" to describe those that had entered into union with Him. The word
'overcometh' is "nikao" and it means to HAVE PREVAILED IN BATTLE, TO HAVE
FOUGHT AND WON, TO CONQUER, TO GET THE VICTORY. By using this
term, Jesus confirms the word "strive",. We also run into the word "many" again. We now
have the following references to the "many":

MANY ON THE BROAD ROAD

MANY WHO STAND BEFORE CHRIST REJECTED

MANY WHO FOLLOW AFTER THE FALSE TEACHERS

MANY WHO SEEK TO ENTER IN BUT ARE NOT ABLE

In contrast we find Jesus using the word FEW.

FEW THAT FIND LIFE

FEW THAT FIND THE STRAIT GATE

The connotation to all of this is that the STRAIT GATE IS IN FACT HIDDEN FROM
VIEW. It will not ever be detected by the many, which answers why they are is such
shock at being rejected. They "KNOWEST NOT", which is of course DECEPTION.
When you bring it together, when Jesus uses the word "strive", He is giving you a direct
opposite from EASY: THUS:

STRIVE/HARD
vs.
EASY FLAT, BROAD

The word 'narrow' is "thlibo", and it means TO CROWD, TO PRESS, TO APPLY


GREAT PRESSURE, TO AFFLICT, TO SUFFER TRIBULATION, TROUBLE,
GREAT AGONY OF SOUL. Put together the, strait and narrow means exactly what
Jesus said it means: A TERRIBLE JOURNEY OF SOME SORT IN WHICH THE
SOUL IS GOING TO UNDERGO TREMENDOUS PRESSURE, AGONY AND
ULTIMATE DEFEAT AS GOD BRINGS THE SOUL DOWN IN UTTER
HUMILIATION. If it is refused, NO LIFE IS GRANTED, HEAVEN'S GATE IS SHUT.

Jesus is therefore contrasting two diametrically opposed concepts. The wide gate and
broad way will be traveled by the VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS, and only THE
FEW AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANS will undergo the mental pain and suffering that God
inflicts upon the human soul as the Holy Spirit convicts of SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND JUDGMENT. The "many" seek to enter the New Covenant via the wide gate and
broad way, but only the few find the strait gate, and STRIVE to enter it once they have
found it.

The many claim they are regenerated Christians, authentic Sons of God, born from above,
in union with Christ. Their claim to fame is via theology and doctrine, which they
embrace with great faith, and they are saved because THEY THINK the Bible TELLS
THEM they are saved. Their salvation is FAITH ALONE, and they IGNORE THE
LIVING CHRIST, WHO PATIENTLY WAITS AT THE END OF THE NARROW
WAY. His waiting was in vain, they never showed up. They chose another way into the
Kingdom, a "way" that allowed them to claim the inheritance, the promises, union and
eternal life. Only at the end do they find out they were in fact SONS AND
DAUGHTERS, DESTINED FOR ETERNAL RUIN.

After contrasting the two ways His followers and disciples will seek to enter heaven, and
warning openly that one of them is patently false, Jesus gives a stern warning:

"BEWARE

OF FALSE PROPHETS,

which come to you in SHEEP'S CLOTHING,

but INWARDLY they are ravening wolves."


(Matthew 7:15)

Within this short verse lies many a souls eternal destiny. Why would Christ forewarn you
about FALSE PROPHETS RIGHT AFTER He told you there is ONLY ONE WAY
THAT LEADS TO LIFE?

OBVIOUSLY TO WARN YOU ABOUT FALSE CHRISTIAN LEADERS WHO


WOULD INVENT A THEOLOGY AND DOCTRINES THAT WOULD
CIRCUMVENT IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE HIS CLEAR COMMANDS AND THE
CROSS!
To accomplish this, they MUST REDEFINE FAITH, GRACE, WORKS,
CONVERSION, REGENERATION AND REPENTANCE. They must manufacture a
theology that is a MIRROR IMAGE OF WHAT CHRIST SAID, BUT IT WILL BE A
DECEPTION. It will look right, sound right, feel right, and it be supported by Scripture,
for Satan knows his Bible better than anyone on earth. HIS DOCTRINES, AND HIS
THEOLOGY WILL BE A MASTER COUNTERFEIT, SO CLOSE TO THE REAL
THING THAT ONLY BY VERY CLOSE EXAMINATION WILL IT BE
REVEALED FOR WHAT IT IS: A TOTAL SHAM!

This is exactly why the "many" end up before Christ rejected! They bought hook, line
and sinker the theology of the false prophets, who were themselves deceived and
deceiving others. Notice that Christ says these false prophets come in SHEEP'S
CLOTHING. They look like sheep, they walk like sheep, they bleat like sheep, they
smell like sheep, and they do what sheep are supposed to do, BUT SURPRISE,
SURPRISE! THEY ARE NOT SHEEP. They are part of the SHEEPFOLD, WHO
CAME IN "SOME OTHER WAY". Remember what Christ said:

"But he that

ENTERETH IN BY THE DOOR

IS THE SHEPHERD

OF THE SHEEP."
(John 10:2)

Obviously then, those that enter in 'some other way' and not by the door, are FALSE
SHEPHERDS OF THE SHEEP, OR WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING, WHO
COME TO STEAL AND DESTROY. Christ commands us to BEWARE. That word
comes from "prosecho" and it means TO BE CAUTIOUS OF, TO PASS JUDGMENT
UPON, TO LOOK AT AND INSPECT CLOSELY. If you are disobedient to these
commands to check out ANYONE AND EVERY ONE'S DOCTRINE AGAINST THE
SCRIPTURES, AND THROW OUT ANYTHING THAT CONTRADICTS IT, then with
100% assurance you will go under DECEPTION. The Bible is full of warnings to
STUDY THE WORD. YOU CANNOT GAIN KNOWLEDGE EXCEPT YOU PICK UP
THE BIBLE AND BEGIN TO STUDY VERY
INTENTLY WHAT SAYS SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO JUDGE CORRECTLY,
AND NOT BE BLOWN ABOUT BY EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE.

All false doctrine comes from the father of lies, Satan himself:
"Put on the WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD;

that ye may be able to stand against

THE WILES OF THE DEVIL."

(Ephesians 6:11)

We are commanded to put on the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD. It has but one reason: TO
WITHSTAND THE WILES OF SATAN. The word 'wiles' is "methodeia", which means
TRICKERY, DECEPTION, TRAVESTIES. In other words, FALSE DOCTRINES,
and FALSE THEOLOGIES are a part of the 'wiles' of Satan that swept the vast
majority of Christians into eternal ruin. The false prophets are Satan's finest con men in
deception. They appear in every instance the perfect Christian. Peter tells us they run very
popular Christian ministries which the vast majority flock after and support. Here is one
part of the ARMOR OF GOD:

“AND take the helmet of salvation and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT,
WHICH IS
THE WORD OF GOD.” (Ephesians 6:17)

apostasy comes from leaving the WORD OF GOD, and RELYING UPON OTHERS TO
TELL YOU WHAT IT SAYS, WHY WOULD YOU WANT THE PURE WORD OF
GOD FILTERED THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE’S UNREGENERATE MIND TO
TELL YOU WHAT IT MEANS? Why not go to the Holy Spirit for your information?
The Holy Spirit is NOT CONFUSED, and He knows whereof He speaks! The refusal to
take to oneself these commands to read, study, meditate and pray over the Word lead to
religious confusion and apostasy away from the true faith.

Many of the false prophets today who are very popular claim it is wrong to judge others.
It must be pointed out there are two types of judgment, and one is wrong, the other you
are commanded to do. You are not to judge another’s PERSON. That is, you do not pass
judgment upon that SOUL. We do not know the heart of a person, we do not know their
trials, and we have not walked in their shoes. Because we do not know or understand the
real truth of any situation, WE ARE COMMANDED NOT TO JUDGE OR TO PASS
JUDGMENTS. It is not an option with the Lord, it is a COMMAND. This type of
judgment is connected to forgiveness, and no one can truly forgive another until AGAPE
LOVE comes into the human soul. One of the attributes of agape love is its complete
ability to forgive and utterly forget. No human soul with natural love can truly forgive or
forget, in spite of protests to the contrary.

The type of judgment that Christ DOES COMMAND IS A JUDGMENT MADE ON


DOCTRINAL STATEMENTS FROM ANY PASTOR, TEACHER, OR
EVANGELIST OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. You are to take what
they say, and apply it to THE WORD OF GOD. If it matches what God has to say, they
are speaking truth. If it does not match, they are speaking error. Many false prophets will,
in their attempts NOT TO BE DISCOVEREDM SCREAM YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
JUDGE THEM. Anyone who tells you that you have no right to judge their biblical
teachings, or who claims they got a “direct revelation” from God and therefore CANNOT
BE JUDGED, IS A LIAR, A FRAUD, AND A FALSE PROPHET. I am not suggesting
that God does not give direct revelation, I am saying that ANY REVELATION THAT
IS FROM GOD WILL AGREE 100% WITH SCRIPTURE, FOR GOD DOES NOT
CHANGE OR ALTER HIS OPINIONS OR HIS PLAN. The ONLY method God has
to keep you safe from harm and deception IS HIS WORD. You must get into it, and study
it, and remain in it, and judge everything you hear or read or see BY THE WORD.

The type of judgment that CHRIST CONDEMNS is ‘krino’ and it means TO BRING
TO TRIAL, TO ADJUDGE GUILTY, TO CONDEMN. We cannot do this for only
god can read the heart, and only God knows the real truth behind each one of us. The type
of judgment that CHRIST COMMANDS is ‘anakrino’, and it means TO
INVESTIGATE, TO INTERROGATE, TO CHECK OUT BY CLOSE
INSPECTION, TO SCRUTINIZE, TO QUESTION, TO SEARCH OUT, TO
EXAMINE. You were commanded by Jesus Christ to USE THIS TYPE OF
JUDGMENT. If what a popular evangelist says DOES NOT CHECK OUT WITH THE
BIBLE, WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO LABEL THEIR DOCTRINE AS FALSE
DOCTRINE, WHICH MAKES THEM FALSE PROPHETS.

A real man of God will invite you to CHECK OUT WHAT HE SAYS AGAINST THE
BIBLE. He will more than invite it, he will DEMAND YOU DO SO. IT IS NOT ONLY
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, BUT HIS OWN! There is no room for pride here, and as
Paul said, who is sufficient to TEACH THESE THINGS? The answer is NO ONE. When
Jesus was confronted by Satan in the wilderness, did He rely upon himself? NO! He went
directly to the WORD OF GOD. He judged Satan with an ‘anakrino’ judgment, and He
passed a stinging rebuke upon Satan with this type of judgment. He said “IT IS
WRITTEN”. He passed a complete judgment upon Satan’s scriptural discourse with
Scripture itself. As all false prophets, be they teachers, preachers or evangelists, are dupes
of Satan, then we MUST pass this type of judgment upon them. A false prophet will
scream loud and long when this is done and he is proven a false prophet. He will scream
condemnation and hellfire down upon those that point out grave scriptural contradiction.
He will say that the true love of God does not allow for judgment. HE WILL FAIL TO
TELL YOU OF THE TWO TYPES OF JUDGMENT, BUT WILL THROW OUT THE
WORD JUDGMENT AS AN ALL ENCOMPASSING TERM. He must, because
otherwise he will be found out for what he is!!

The word for ‘false prophets’ is “pseudoprophetes” and it means RELIGIOUS


IMPOSTOR, A PROPAGATOR OF FALSE DOCTRINE, OR FALSE TEACHERS,
PREACHERS AND EVANGELISTS. It is surprising, but no mention of MOTIVE is
given. It simply means anyone who teaches the word of God in error. You will recall Paul
fought it out with Peter in open assembly. At that point, Peter himself was a false teacher.
Peter was totally sincere, and Paul did not JUDGE PETER IN THAT MANNER, HE
JUDGED HIM BY SCRIPTURE. As soon as the error was detected, Peter bowed his
knee to the TRUTH. That is also the mark of a true Son of God, for that soul, when the
error is proven out by scripture, will acknowledge the mistake and ask God for
forgiveness.

The root word of false prophets covers the main officers of the church: apostles, pastors,
teachers and evangelists. Jesus says they come in SHEEP’S CLOTHING. Who are the
sheep? Are not all Christians called sheep? Are they not part of the sheepfold? Is not
Christ the TRUE SHEPHERD? John 10:1-28 makes it very clear that the SHEEPFOLD
IS THE ENTIRE BODY OF CHRIST UPON EARTH. The false prophets are
PSEUDO CHRISTIANS, posing as the real things, posing as authentic, born again
Christians who are UPHOLDING JESUS CHRIST. They look like, speak like and act
like AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANS. You cannot detect they are false except by very close
examination of what they teach compared to Scripture. It should also be pointed out that
the VAST MAJORITY OF FALSE TEACHERS ARE NOT AWARE THEY ARE
FALSE TEACHERS. The many who stood before Christ rejected WERE NOT AWARE
THEY WERE IN FACT FALSE TEACHERS. To themselves and others they were
sincere, dedicated men of God. They were in fact DUPES OF SATAN, BUT NEVER
REALIZED IT. That is the nature of deception. They had a doctrine that was 99%
accurate, but the 1% they left out damned them forever. This is not to say that there are
not deliberate false teachers, such as Luciferian plants who have come into the church to
destroy it.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that false prophets are easily identified, for they are
not. False doctrine blends right into correct doctrine. These false doctrines ARE
EMBRACED BY THE ENTIRE CHURCH as correct doctrine. In other words, the vast
majority of Christendom will embrace and accept the lies of Satan and will REFUTE
THE TRUTH ITSELF AS BEING FALSE. That is why Christ said that a little leaven
leavens the entire body of Christ.

Christ said the vast majority of Christians will be rejected. They claimed they entered the
New Covenant, but never did, for they come in to the “sheepfold” via “some other way”,
which is the WIDE GATE AND BROAD WAY, A SATANIC CREATION, A
FABRICATION, A DELUSION. Only the few will find the real truth. Christ said the
many would travel the broad way because the true way was hard, difficult and not easy at
all. There would be anguish of soul, great pressure, and it would be anything but pleasant.
The false prophets would label THE TRUE WAY a form of “works” or “legalism” of
some type, the opposite of GRACE and FAITH. The broad way by contrast is easy, and it
appeals to the carnal nature of man. It would be fabricated in such a way as to APPEAR
TOTALLY CORRECT Scriptually. It would use all the right words, but the words would
mean something different than what Christ intended.

That is exactly what Christ is telling us with the word “BECAUSE”. The word ‘because’
is “hoti” and it means BECAUSE OF THAT, FOR THAT REASON OR WHY. The
vast majority will reject the true way that leads to “life” because it is a route of hardship,
WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WORKS OR ANY FORM OF
LEGALISM WHATSOEVER. One of the primary methods Satan uses to keep people
from walking the narrow way is by branding it A FORM OF WORKS, which of course it
is not. By redefining faith and grace, along with repentance and works, Satan keeps the
many from entering in, BECAUSE THE DEFINITIONS OF THOSE WORDS ARE
CHANGED BY FALSE THEOLOGY TO MAKE SURE THE NARROW WAY IS
EXCLUDED AS A PROPER WAY TO SALVATION. IT IS THE PERFECT
DECEPTION, THE WORK OF A SUPERNATURAL MIND. We have then a clear cut
division set before us by the Lord Jesus Christ:

WIDE GATE STRAIT GATE


BROAD WAY NARROW WAY
EASY, FLAT, NO OBSTACLE VS HARD, STEEP, DIFFICULT
NO TROUBLE, NO PROBLEMS FULL OF ANGUISH, PRESSURE
THE MANY THE FEW
SOME OTHER WAY THE DOOR

These ways are then clearly delineated by Christ and NO ONE could mistake what Christ
said. We could ignore what He said, we can claim He did not mean what He said, we can
claim by theology that it was all meant for Israel and does not apply to us, BUT WE
CANNOT SAY THAT HE DID NOT SAY IT. The final judge is not our theology or
denominational bias, but is instead going to be the WORD OF GOD, AS
INTERPRETED BY GOD, NOT THE CHURCH, NOR ANY DENOMINATION,
NOR YOU OR I.

You already know that the word ‘many’ means vast majority, but what does the word
“few” mean? The word “few” comes from ‘oligos’ and it means PUNY, TINY, SMALL.
It is the perfect contrast to the word “many” and verifies that the vast majority of
Christians end up in ruin.

“For MANY ARE CALLED, but FEW ARE CHOSEN.”


(Matthew 22:14)

“Fear not LITTLE FLOCK, for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the
kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)

The word “little” is “mikros” and it means LEAST, SMALL, TINY OR EXTREMELY
TINY. That is where we get out word MICRON, which means ONE THOUSANDTH
OF A MILLIMETER. We should find a verification in the OLD TESTAMENT that
indeed there is only a very small number of people who actually become part of the
TRUE FLOCK OF GOD, and who KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERY
OF GOD:
“I know it is so of a truth:
but how should man be JUST with God?
If he (God) will contend with him,
HE CANNOT ANSWER HIM ONE OF A THOUSAND.” (Job 9:2

This is a very telling verse of Scripture and it goes right to the heart of the matter: HOW
IS MAN MADE JUST OR JUSTIFIED BEFORE THE LORD? WHAT IS THE REAL
MYSTERY OF BEING JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD? HOW IS IT DONE? If God were
to come down upon earth and CONTEND WITH THOSE PROFESSING TO KNOW,
ONLY ONE IN A THOUSAND COULD ANSWER GOD CORRECTLY. One in a
thousand is a very small number: .001. The vast majority of Christians do no know the
answer: they only think they know the answer. Speaking of man going to the grave, it
says:

“IF THERE BE A MESSENGER WITH HIM,


AN INTERPRETER,
ONE AMONG A THOUSAND,
TO SHEW UNTO MAN HIS UPRIGHTNESS:

Then he (God) is a GRACIOUS UNTO HIM, AND SAITH:


DELIVER HIM FROM GOING DOWN TO THE PIT:
I HAVE FOUND A RANSOM.” (Job 33:23-24)

This verse is equally telling and verifies that when Jesus used the term LITTLE, that he
was borrowing from the Old Testament, ONE IN A THOUSAND. The messenger, the
interpreter, is AGAPE LOVE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
THAT SAINT. If that soul is clothed in the AGAPE LOVE ROBES OF JESUS CHRIST,
then God is merciful, and will deliver him from the pits of hell. That soul FOUND A
RANSOM. JESUS SAID SEEK UNTIL YOU FIND, KNOCK UNTIL THE DOOR
IS OPENED. THE RANSOM WAS JESUS CHRIST. THAT SOUL IS THEN
COVERED BY THE BLOOD, WHICH WAS THE RANSOM PRICE PAID. That soul
ALSO FOUND THE LIVING JESUS CHRIST, THE MYSTERY OF GOD, THE
MYSTERY OF AGAPE LOVE. All others go to the pit.

“BEHOLD, THIS HAVE I FOUND,


SAITH THE PREACHER,
COUNTING ONE BY ONE, TO FIND OUT THE ACCOUNT

Which yet MY SOUL SEEKETH, BUT I FIND NOT:


ONE MAN AMONG A THOUSAND HAVE I FOUND.” Eccl. 7:27-28
Here we find yet another verification of this difficult saying. ONE MAN IN A
THOUSAND CAN ANSWER CORRECTLY. That which the soul seeketh after, that
which is so desperately wanted within the human souls is AGAPE LOVE. Without it the
soul dies, is eternally separated from it’s creator and goes to the pit. With AGAPE LOVE
AS THE INTERPRETER, one finds the mercy of God. If this be the case, then HOW
MUCH MORE SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED THAT WE FIND THE TRUTH AND
UNLOCK THE MYSTERY OF GOD?

It is a hard thing to understand, but God calls many out of the world into the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. Many are called INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE SHEEPFOLD. Out
of that many, God chooses HIS FEW, CALLED OVERCOMERS. IT IS A SELECTION
PROCESS, AND THIS PROCESS IS BASED UPON ONE THING: OBEDIENCE TO
THE COMMANDS OF CHRIST. It is not God’s will that ANY should perish, yet He
knows ALL UNBELIEVERS WILL, AS WELL AS THE VAST MAJORITY OF
CHRISTIANS. What is the dividing line? What causes God to select one and not
another? We must at all cost find the Scriptural answer.

“For ye see YOUR CALLING, BRETHREN,


how that NOT MANY wise men after the flesh,
NOT MANY MIGHTY, NOT MANY NOBLE,
ARE CALLED.” (1 Corinthians 1:26)

If not many are called, then how many? ONLY A FEW, ONE IN A THOUSAND. The
call of the Gospel is no joke; it is the most serious of all callings. If you neglect the call,
then you are in serious trouble for eternity. DO NOT NEGLECT THE CALL OF
GOD, GIVE ALL DILIGENCE TO IT. The vast majority of Christians are going to
eternal ruin. It is interesting to note that event he apocrypha says the same thing:

“Because ONLY A FEW WILL BE SAVED,


God created TWO WORLDS, instead of only one.
As you say, ONLY A FEW PEOPLE ARE RIGHTEOUS,
But there are LARGE NUMBERS of wicked people….” (2 Esdras 7:50-51)

“It’s the same with the judgment I have promised:


I WILL BE PLEASED WITH THE FEW WHO WILL BE SAVED,
because they are the ones who now praise and honour me and make my name
known.
I WILL NOT BE SAD ABOUT THE LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WILL
BE LOST... (2 Esdras 7:60-61)

PLEASE READ THAT AND LET THE IMPACT OF THAT STATEMENT SEEP INTO
YOUR BRAIN. ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WILL BE SAVED, ONLY A FEW PEOPLE
EVER FIND THE AGAPE LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. AMONG HIS OWN
PEOPLE, ONLY A FEW WILL ESCAPE. THE OTHERS, WHO WERE
DISOBEDIENT, DID NOT MAKE IT. That is strange indeed, for I never met a Christian
that was not going to heaven, and I never went into a church that was not preaching the
truth. SOMEONE IS IN RANK DECEPTION. Mankind does not respond to such
negative news. In order to package Jesus Christ and sell Him to the masses, the false
prophets must make Him palatable to the vast majority, so the NEGATIVE
COMMANDS, AND THE NEGATIVE CONFIRMATIONS GIVEN IN SCRIPTURE
WILL BE ELIMINATED OR CONCEALED. The ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS (ALL
NEGATIVE) that lead to authentic regeneration and union with Christ are done away
with VIA THEOLOGY AND DOCTRINE.

In order for the false prophets to claim that one does NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING
HARD,OR THAT IT IS FULL OF OBSTACLES AND FULL OF MENTAL AGONY
AND PRESSURE UPON THE SOUL, they must come up with a THEOLOGY with
underlying doctrines that TOTALLY CONTRADICT THE SAYINGS OF JESUS. If
Jesus says something is hard, they will explain it away and it becomes easy. If Jesus says
salvation is a long process, they will claim it is done INSTANTLY. What ever Jesus says,
THEY WILL CONTRADICT IT, BUT THAT CONTRADICTION WILL NOT BE
EASY TO FIND. It is embedded deep within their doctrine and theology, a master
counterfeit from Satan.

If you think this concerns only Christian cults, think again. These false doctrines will
embed themselves into every denomination of the Body of Christ, from the
fundamentalists all the way to the rankest of rank liberals. With one accord, a FALSE
GOSPEL OF WHAT CONSTITUTES SALVATION WILL BE BROUGHT INTO
BEING AND GO UNDETECTED BY THE VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS.
The warnings in scripture do include OBVIOUS cult groups, but their doctrinal errors are
EASILY DETECTED, AND HAVE BEEN DETECTED BY THE CHURCH AT
LARGE. Thus we have many books on the market EXPOSING CULT GROUPS. But
Christ, Paul and Peter warned of ANOTHER DOCTRINE, A DOCTRINE THAT HAS
TO DO WITH SALVATION ITSELF, WOULD INFILTRATE THE MAINSTREAM
CHURCH, AND BE ACCEPTED BY THE CHURCH AS TRUTH, AND SWEEP
MANY MILLIONS INTO ETERNAL RUIN.

This false Gospel of how one gets saved would look, sound, and feel totally correct, and
would be backed up by masses of Scripture. It would rest upon REINTERPRETATION
OF WHAT THE WORDS MEAN. Incredible though it may sound, the false prophets, to
prove their theology, WILL USE THE VERY DEFINITIONS OF THE WORDS
THEMSELVES TO PROVE THEY ARE RIGHT! In other words, if you went to a
lexicon, or expository dictionary, WHAT THEY CLAIMED IT MEANT WOULD BE
CORRECT! Yet it would be rank error. How is this possible? It becomes possible by
OMISSION OF ALL QUALIFIERS JESUS CHRIST GAVE US. What they do is to
DISREGARD ANY AND ALL QUALIFICATIONS CHRIST GAVE US TO PROVE
WHAT HE MEANT BY A GIVEN WORD. They would throw out all of the “IFS,
ANDS OR BUTS”, OR ANY CONDITIONAL PHRASES CHRIST GAVE US TO
SHOW US THE TRUE MEANINGS.

An example of this would be if you told a friend the following: “I am coming over to
your house today, IF I get all of my work done.” Your friend ONLY HEARS WHAT
he/she wants to hear: “I AM COMING OVER TO YOUR HOUSE TODAY.” The
qualifier, the IF is disregarded. It is not EVEN HEARD AT ALL. THE MIND FILTERS
IT OUT. You do not get your work done, and so you do not go over to your friend’s
house. About 8PM your friend calls very irate and upset at you for not showing up. “I
waited around all day for you to come and you never showed up! How dare you!” You
can explain until you are blue in the face that you QUALIFIED THAT STATEMENT
BY THE WORD ‘IF’ . The QUALIFIER DETERMINES THE MEANING OF
YOUR STATEMENT!!
JESUS QUALIFIED ALL STATEMENTS
CONCERNING SALVATION.

He qualified what He meant by the words FAITH, GRACE, WORKS, CONVERSION,


REGENERATION, BELIEVE, etc. If you OMIT THE QUALIFIER you MISS THE
MEANINGS. The false prophets will OMIT THE QUALIFIERS TOTALLY. They will
use all the same words, they will speak of grace, faith, belief, works, legalism,
conversion, regeneration, and all the others, BUT WILL OMIT ALL KEY
QUALIFIERS from their definitions, and by doing so, WILL DEVELOP AN ENTIRE
NEW GOSPEL OF SALVATION. That gospel will look totally authentic in all respects.
It will sound right, look right, feel right, and even check out in Scripture! ONLY WHEN
YOU FIND OUT HOW CHRIST QUALIFIED HIS MEANINGS DO YOU DETECT
THEIR ERROR, AND WHEN YOU DETECT IT, IT WILL BECOME OBVIOUS TO
YOU. It is a method Satan uses to KEEP PEOPLE FROM COMING TO CHRIST
IN TRUTH.

Peter gave us a warning we need to look at very closely concerning these false prophets
that look like, sound like and act like real authentic Christian preachers, teachers and
evangelists. Their theology and doctrines will be a master counterfeit!

“But there were false prophets also among the people (of Israel),
EVEN AS THERE SHALL BE
FALSE TEACHERS AMONG YOU (THE CHURCH),
Who PRIVILY shall bring in
DAMNABLE HERESIES EVEN DENYING THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM,
and bring upon themselves swift destruction, and
MANY (THE VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS)
SHALL FOLLOW THEIR PERNICIOUS WAYS,
by reason of whom,

THE WAY
OF THE TRUTH
Shall be EVIL SPOKEN OF.” (2 Peter 2:1-2)

We are going to break this down to a phrase study because of the importance of what
Peter is warning us about. This short verse is an elaboration of what Jesus referred to
when he spoke of the wolves in sheep’s clothing, the pseudo-Christians, and THE WAY
OF THE TRUTH.

1. “EVEN AS THERE SHALL BE FALSE TEACHERS AMONG YOU.”

This is precisely what Christ told us all to be aware of. These are the wolves that come
into the sheepfold. Notice it does not say THEY MIGHT COME OR COULD COME.
THEY SHALL COME. It is an imperative prophecy. The Church will be infiltrated by
FALSE CHRISTIAN LEADERS WITH A FALSE SALVATION DOCTRINE.
THEY WILL BE WITHIN THE CHURCH. BECAUSE THE VAST MAJORITY
WILL FOLLOW AFTER THESE FALSE SALVATION DOCTRINES, THEY WLL
BE POPULAR LEADERS, WELL ACCEPTED AND WELL ENTRENCHED IN
THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY. They will be wolves, but they will look for all the
world to be authentic and powerhouse Christian leaders.

They are in the church, among the Christians, Satan’s agents of destruction. The
majority of them will not be aware they are Satan’s agents, but will be sincere and
dedicated Christians who have embraced a false theology themselves as truth, and
who will then propagate it to others. If you went up to any of them and accused them
of being false Christians, they would be deeply offended and hurt by that accusation. A
person in deception is not aware of it. These “Christians” that Peter mentions are
LEADERS WITHIN THEIR DENOMINATIONS, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE
TEACHERS. That word means teacher, preacher, evangelist. The word for “false
teachers” is “pseudodidaskalos” and it means ANYONE WHO PROPAGATES FALSE
DOCTRINE, DOCTRINE WITH ERROR IN IT, OR ERRONEOUS DOCTRINE,
A FALSE TEACHER. Their motives are not of concern, only that they teach error.

The word “among” is “en” and it means WITHIN THE GROUP, WITHIN THE
BODY OF CHRIST. This is not an outside attack upon the Church; this is an insidious
attack by Satan from WITHIN THE CHURCH ITSELF. Because we are speaking of the
Church, then these false teachers will RISE UP WITHIN THEIR DENOMINATIONS TO
LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP AND THEIR TEACHINGS WILL BE ACCEPTED BY
THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE. Their teachings will be a counterfeit, but not
easily detected.

Ask an FBI OR TREASURY agent about the detection of COUNTERFEIT MONEY. In


one recent case overseas, counterfeit American money was found that was almost
IMPOSSIBLE TO DETECT. It took Treasury agents in labs to detect the difference. In
most cases the difference can only be detected BY VERY CAREFUL EXAMINATION
AGAINST A STANDARD KNOWN TO BE TRUE. In currency, the counterfeit is held
up against THE KNOWN TRUE BILL, AND THE DIFFERENCES CAN THEN BE
DETECTED. You compare WITH A KNOWN AUTHENTIC ITEM TO DETECT THE
FALSE. A gemologist studies a perfect diamond in order to compare other stones to it for
grading purposes. THERE HAS TO BE A PERFECT STANDARD FROM WHICH TO
JUDGE FROM.

As the Church age progressed, LESS AND LESS PEOPLE WOULD IN REALITY BE
REGENERATED, and therefore less and less people WOULD HAVE THE STANDARD
OF TRUE AGAPE LOVE BY WHICH TO MEASURE THE TRUTH BY. THE TRUTH
THEN BEGINS TO BE CROWDED OUT BY LIES AND DECEPTION, WHICH IS
EMBRACED BY THE VAST MAJORITY FOR THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR
KNOW WHAT THE REAL TRUTH IS. The real truth is then branded a lie. Apostasy
works in that manner.

THERE IS A STANDARD, AND THAT STANDARD IS AGAPE LOVE. Nor are we


speaking of money here, but of human souls. We are not speaking of expert criminals but
of the most diabolical intelligence ever created form the hands of God. This creature who
fell from the grace of heaven now walks to and fro over the whole earth. He hates every
single human soul with a passion we cannot begin to comprehend, yet he poses as an
angel of light, as though he loves man and only wants the best for him. We are going to
take this vastly intelligent creature called SATAN and pit him AGAINST each one of us.
Keep in mind he is eternal, and has had thousands of years to figure out and then fool the
human mind and soul. He understand all of our weaknesses, all of our nature. He knows
how to bait and switch. He knows how to snare us in a multitude of traps. We now pit this
super intelligent Christ hater, this human hater, who has supernatural powers, against us.
Question:

DO YOU THINK HE IS CAPABLE OF COMING UP WITH A COUNTERFEIT


GOSPEL OF SALVATION THATIS SO CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL IT WOULD
NOT BE DETECTED BY THE VAST MAJORITY OF SOULS SEEKING
HEAVEN?

Your answer had best be YES. Satan can and has produced a multitude of false religions,
and within the church of Jesus Christ a multitude of false theologies which can be called
BROAD ROAD THEOLOGIES. These theologies all use the correct terminology, the
correct phrases and words, even the correct meanings many times to those words. The
name of Christ is freely used and upheld, and even the words of Christ are used freely
and with great vigor. There are ONLY TWO WAYS TO SPOT THE ERROR:

1. Either all or some of the QUALIFIERS ARE OMITTED, or


2. The teachings will CONTRADICT what Jesus clearly said or BOTH WILL BE
TRUE.
Satan is the master deceiver of the whole world. He loves religion for he invented it, for
he knows that man has a “spiritual” nature. True Christianity is not a religion, it is a
changed heart.
Religion is a vast system created by Satan to dupe the world into many different roads or
pathways THAT APPEAR TO BE leading to heaven, therefore EXCLUDING the
ONLY NAME UNDER HEAVEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED. For those
who know Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to heaven, Satan must come up with theologies
and doctrines that SOMEHOW BYPASS THE STRAIT GATE AND NARROW WAY,
because that is the ONLY way into the New Covenant. Satan will then muster up all the
cunnings he has within to fabricate a gospel that looks 100% correct to trap all Christians.
God evidently allows such a thing as a screening process to obtain the FEW OR
LITTLE FLOCK.

In order to bypass the strait gate and narrow way, Satan will have to develop a theology
that would either tell people they were on the correct way when they were not, or as an
alternative, he could develop a theology that would totally bypass it altogether. The
various remarks of Christ, Paul and Peter imply that the biggest thrust of Satan will be to
BYPASS THE STRAIT GATE AND NARROW WAY TOTALLY, IF POSSIBLE,
AND IF HE CANNOT, TO REDEFINE WHAT IT MEANS SO THAT A SEEKING
SOUL WOULD THINK HE/SHE WAS ON THE NARROW WAY WHEN THEY
WERE NOT. He will do so by altering the definition of FAITH, and with this new
definition he will be able to declare the strait gate and narrow way as a form of WORKS
OR LEGALISM, AND THAT IT IS IN OPPOSITION TO GRACE AND FAITH. He will
redefine the definition of works and EXPAND IT TO COVER THAT WHICH IT DOES
NOT COVER, and at the same time redefine faith to make it EXPAND TO AREAS IT
DOES NOT COVER.

He will do it via the false teachers, who will infiltrate the Church. Over a long period of
time, they will work their leaven and leaven the entire Body of Christ. Both Jesus and
Peter were most blunt: THE VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS GO FOR THIE
NEW THEOLOGY. These people infiltrate into the Body of Christ, into each
denomination, and work their way into positions of power and trust. Peter is blunt: THEY
ARE TEACHERS (LEADERS) and THEY ARE AMONG THE BELIEVERS. These
leaders have come into the sheepfold SOME OTHER WAY, and they are the false
shepherds, that have come to steal and destroy, for Christ was very blunt: THE TRUE
SHEPHERDS HAVE COME IN VIA THE DOOR. They have come in by obedience to
the commands of Christ, they have entered the strait gate, and walked the narrow way to
find the living Jesus Christ.

2. “WHO PRIVILY SHALL BRING IN DAMNABLE HERESIES”

Notice that is says they PRIVILY bring in damnable heresies. A heresy that is damnable
is any heresy that if EMBRACED AND BELIEVED TRUE, IT WILL LEAD TO YOUR
UTTER RUIN. The word for “damnable is “apolenia” and it means UTTER RUIN OR
LOSS, OR ETERNAL DAMNATION, PERDITION. The root of the word is
“appollumi” and it means TO DESTROY FULLY, TO PERISH. Peter is also very
direct about where in church doctrine the false teachers will strike: SALVATION
DOCTRINE. That is why these heresies are damnable if embraced! They are ERROR
FILLED DOCTRINE ON SALVATION, THAT IF BELIEVED, LEAD YOU INTO
ETERNAL RUIN. We are talking of eternal destiny of millions of human souls! It stands
to reason that Satan is going to oppose Christ on the ONE WAY CHRIST GAVE US TO
ENTER IN TO UNION WITH HIM.

THE ENTIRE ATTACK WILL COME AGAINST THE NARROW WAY!

These teachers who APPEAR to be AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN LEADERS IN ALL


RESPECTS, will bring in A GROUP OF HERESIES THAT SWEEP THEMSELVES
AND MILLIONS OF THEIR FOLLOWERS INTO ETERNAL LOSS FROM WHICH
THEY CAN NEVER EXTRICATE THEMSELVES. These teachers will slowly
introduce a whole new doctrinal concept of salvation and how one obtains it. To alter
these doctrines will take time and the use of slow but sure REDEFINITIONS OF
TERMS. The definitions of faith, grace, works, legalism, repentance, conversion and
regeneration will one by one be changed over a period of time. The changes will be
small, argued over, debated and finally become the ACCEPTED TRUE DEFINITION.
These are the issues of salvation. If these issues are not properly understood, you are in
serious trouble, for Christ demanded ALL ENTER IN THE SAME WAY, WITH NO
EXCEPTION LISTED WHATEVER.

It cannot be over stressed that Satan needs only a comparatively small number of false
teachers to turn the majority of Christian leadership into propagators of false doctrine. All
he needs to accomplish is to manufacture a gospel so close to the original that the pastors,
teachers, and evangelists who attend seminary embrace what is being taught there! This is
why SINCERITY has nothing to do with whether a person comes to salvation or not. It is
not that the vast majority of false teachers are not sincere, it is that they are under
DECETPION. Thus their ethics, their morality, their standings in the community may be
impeccable; yet are they still blind leaders leading the blind, and they all fall into the
ditch.

The word for ‘privily bring in’ is vital to understand in our search for the real truth. The
word is “pareisago” and it means to INTRODUCE SECRETLY, WITHOUT
DETECTION. TO INTRODUCE SURREPTIOUSLY, TO BRING IN ALONG
SIDE. Do you understand the ramifications of this? IT MEANS THAT THESE
DAMNABLE HERESIES ARE BROUGHT IN TO THE SHEEPFOLD, THE BODY OF
CHRIST, THE WHOLE CHURCH, ALL DENOMINATIONS WITHOUT ANY OF
THEM DETECTING IT! It is NOT DETECTED WHATEVER by the church at large.

We have absolute confirmation that this is true, because Peter says the VAST MAJORITY
WITHIN THE ENTIRE CHURCH OF CHRIST ARE SWEPT INTO THIS NEW
SALVATION DOCTRINE. They will not detect this heresy, to the contrary, they WILL
EMBRACE IT, AND PROCLAIM THAT THIS FALSE SALVATION MESSAGE IS
THE TRUTH, AND THAT ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE IS A LIAR! The
delusion here is powerful, and God allows it to fall upon every human heart that is not
obedient to the commands of Jesus Christ. This is what ‘privily’ means. IT IS TOTALLY
UNDETECTED. This is not a warning about cult groups, or other 'fringe' groups in
Christianity. This is a direct warning that the CENTRAL CORE DOCTRINES OF
SALVATION WILL BE ED AND TWISTED, AND THE CHURCH WILL EMBRACE
THOSE PERVERSIONS AND TWISTINGS AS TRUTH.

Christian cult groups are easily detected by anyone with a passing understanding of true
doctrine, prove by the fact that there are a large number of books on the market warning
of Christian and also non-Christian cult groups. Peter is warning of something FAR
MORE SERIOUS, FAR MORE SUBTLE. It will be devastating to the entire church,
which is WHY THE VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS STAND BEFORE
CHRIST REJECTED.

The root for the word “privily bring in” is “para” and it means FROM BESIDE, IN
THE VICINITY OF, CLOSE TO, ALONG SIDE. It means that they LOOK ALIKE
AND SOUND ALIKE, BUT THEY ARE NOT ALIKE. THEY WILL BE CLOSE,
SO CLOSE AS TO BE “ALONG SIDE”. They are in fact master counterfeits, a
fabrication, fables dressed up to look for all the world LIKE THE TRUTH. Their
theologies and their doctrines all contain a deadly error, an error that only the FEW who
do as Christ commanded will detect. One of the English words to describe “privily” was
“surreptitiously”. It is defined by Random House as “obtained; done or made, etc. BY
STEALTH, SECRET OR UNAUTHORIZED; CLANDESTINE…. obtained by
SUBREPTION.

The word “subreption” is most interesting: “..common law. A CONCEALMENT OF


THE PERTINENT FACTS IN A PETITION, AS FOR THE DISPENSATION OF
FAVOR, THAT IN CERTAIN CASES
NULLIFIES THE GRANT.”

This is exactly what Peter is saying the false teachers do. THEY BRING IN A TOTAL
“LOOK ALIKE” SALVATION MESSAGE THAT CONCEALS CERTAIN FACTS
THE BELIEVERS MUST KNOW FOR THEM TO BE GRANTED THE FAVOR
OF SALVATION. The concealment of these facts NULLIFIES the NEW COVENANT
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. God cannot grant the favor of REGENERATION. He
cannot grant MERCY. He cannot grant CLEMENCY. He cannot grant HEAVEN. The
reason he cannot is that the FALSE PROPHETS CONCEAL THE STRAIT GATE
AND NARROW WAY. Their theology and their doctrine CONCEAL THE ONLY
WAY TO HEAVEN THERE IS, WHICH NULLIFIES THE GRANTING OF
ETERNAL LIFE.

The soul that is seeking God must find the strait gate, and then MUST ENTER IT AND
WALK THE NARROW WAY. Satan is well aware of this ONLY entrance to heaven. He
is also aware that the vast majority of people are FOLLOWERS AND NOT LEADERS.
He is all to aware that the majority of people DO NOT, AND WILL NOT THINK FOR
THEMSELVES. They will allow OTHERS to think for them. Who then is Satan going to
go after? THE LEADERS! If he can get the leaders duped into believing this false
theology, and they are the leaders of their respective denominations, then Satan knows
the general lay people will simply “go along” with whatever THEIR WELL
RESPECTED LEADERS HAND OUT AS TRUTH. It is part of human nature.

What good is it going to do you when you stand beofre Jesus Christ REJECTED? You
can say, “I was obedient to my pastor (teacher, preacher, evangelist), I BELIEVED
WHAT HE TOLD ME WAS THE TRUTH!” Do you realize what you are telling Jesus
Christ by that remark? You are telling Him that you did not care enough about your own
soul to seek the truth out FOR YOURSELF, AND YOU COULD NOT BE
BOTHERED TO FIND IT ON YOUR OWN. The Bible is very blunt about leaning
upon man for your understanding. The Holy Spirit is to guide you into the WHOLE
TRUTH. A teacher is only a GUIDE, to help you along YOUR OWN PERSONAL
WALK. HE IS NOT YOUR TRUTH. The truth that “sets you free” is a truth only YOU
can discover for yourself! If you simply accept and embrace what others hand you, you
are destined for eternal loss!

The “many” stand before Christ in utter shock and disbelief that they are going to be sent
away for ever, with no hope, no mercy and no recourse. The false teachers concealed the
FACTS OF THE STRAIT GATE AND NARROW WAY FROM THEM, facts that they
HAD TO KNOW AND COMPLY WITH. There is a saying that goes “Ignorance of the
law is no excuse.” Likewise IGNORANCE OF THE FACTS IS NO EXCUSE FOR ANY
HUMAN SOUL. God gave you a Bible. He told you to read it, to study it and to
understand enough to comply with the requirements for salvation. If you do not think
your own soul worthy of salvation, THEN DISOBEY THOSE COMMANDS AND GOD
WILL GRANT YOU YOUR WISH FOR ETERNAL RUIN. This is not funny, this is not
a joke, this business is more serious than ANYTHING YOU HAVE EVER
UNDERGONE IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.

As the New Covenant is a legally binding contract that God gave to man through the
work of Christ, it has legal standing. All those who wish to enter in must do so via the
requirements (parameters) laid down by Jesus Christ. The false prophets will then seek to
conceal certain facts from the soul that is seeking entrance to heaven through Christ.
Satan and his false teachers MUST COME UP WITH A THEOLOGY AND DOCTRINE
THAT IN REALITY DENIES ENTRANCE INTO THE NEW COVENANT, BUT
WHICH TELLS EVERYONE THEY HAVE ENTERED IN. read that again if you do not
understand it. A look alike gospel has but one purpose: TO FOOL YOU INTO
THINKING YOU HAVE ENTERED IN WHEN IN FACT YOU HAVE NOT. IT
BECOMES A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE REAL THING.

Peter is very blunt: these false teachers have a gospel of salvation that is so close to the
truth that it IS NOT DETECTED by the vast numbers of denominational Christians as
being false. This false salvation message will SWEEP THE ENTIRE CHURCH, FROM
THE FUNDAMENTALISTS TO THE LIBERALS. Their doctrines WILL BLATANTLY
CONTRADICT JESUS CHRIST AND HIS COMMANDS, BUT IT WILL APPEAR AS
THOUGH THEY UPHOLD HIM AND HIS COMMANDS TOTALLY! Their fabrication
is a SURFACE THEOLOGY, A MIRROR IMAGE, BUT WHEN INSPECTED THE LIE
WILL BE UNCOVERED. Their theology will "explain away" the necessity for any strait
gate or narrow way. It will be done through GRACE AND FAITH.

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,

deceiving

and being deceived.”

(2 Timothy 3:13)

Notice that these evil men ARE THEMSELVES UNDER A DECEPTION. Grasp it
please: THEY ARE NOT AWARE THAT THEY ARE IN DECEPTION. They do not
consider themselves "evil" men. The word for evil here is "ponerous" and it means
HURTFUL IN EFFECT. In other words, hurtful in influence. It is not a reference to
their character or their ethics or moral behavior. It is a reference to THEOLOGY AND
DOCTRINE, WHICH INFLUENCES MILLIONS OF SOULS AND SWEEPS THEM
AWAY INTO RUIN. These people appear to be in all instances wonderful spirit filled
Christian men, in positions of great leadership and influence. They are totally sincere, and
totally dedicated. Their motives are not being questioned here, because only God can read
their INNER HEART. They are under a deception, and they labor for the Lord UNDER
DECEPTION.
To them and the Church, their motives are pure and sincere. They are in love with the
Lord and they think they are operating under the Lord's authority and are being obedient.
Jesus used the same word for evil in this verse:

"If ye then, BEING EVIL,

know how to give good gifts unto your children...."


(Matthew 7:11)

It is imperative to understand that Jesus is not referring to their ethical or moral character.
He is not calling them thieves, robbers, murderers, etc. They are not criminals in the
common sense of the word. They are moral, upright, decent people with families that love
their children. Jesus calls them EVIL. What He is referring to here is about HUMAN
LOVE. We will explore this in great depth in this series, but human love IS HURTFUL.
It is hurtful because it is self centered, manipulative, and wholly conditional. Because of
that, it is branded EVIL by God. Mankind is "evil" because their love does not match the
divine love. The standard God uses to judge the human race is AGAPE LOVE.

The false teachers then embrace a false doctrine as truth, and they in turn propagate this
doctrine via seminary training and then through the pulpits across the spectrum of
Christianity. To us, as lay people, we would not view these men as "evil" at all, but
instead as sincere and dedicated leaders. They are HONEST, SINCERE MEN WHO
HAVE OBTAINED POSITIONS OF GREAT INFLUENCE AND POWER. On a human
scale of human decency from 1-10 we would rate them 8-10! They are dedicated servants
of the Lord, fulfilling the GREAT COMMISSION. They are positive their theologies and
doctrines on salvation are 100% correct, or they could never do what they do. These
people are not stupid souls, they are intelligent men, some of them brilliant, but THEY
ARE UNDER A DECEPTION.

Peter said these false teachers would come in via great STEALTH AND CUNNING.
Because they are under a deception, these teachers sincerely believe in their own minds
that what they are teaching is the TRUTH, and they will use Scripture to back it up! As
Christ said there was only one way to heaven, then we know for a fact that all of these
false doctrines MUST AND WILL ZERO IN ON THE STRAIT GATE AND NARROW
WAY. Over the years, the entire Church will redefine all the central key doctrines of
salvation BUT THEY WILL NOT EVEN BE AWARE THEY HAVE DONE IT! Whole
new definitions, whole new concepts will be developed to tell us what it means to be a
Christian, how one obtains salvation, what regeneration means, etc. This activity paves
the way for the final grand delusion, which sweeps the church into the arms of the
antichrist system. The Church will embrace the antichrist, just as the church embraced
Hitler when he came to power in Germany.

We know that the many stand before Christ rejected because they never had a true union
with Him, even though they were positive in their own minds they did have a union. At
that time, and not before, do they realize they were fooled, dupes of a Satanic deception
so clever that only a supernatural mind of vast intelligence could mastermind it.

The word "heresies" comes from the word "hairesis" and it means CHOICE, TO
CHOOSE, TO MAKE A CHOICE (FROM SELF). That is a SELF WILLED
OPINION. The false teachers read the word of God, and in their CARNALITY, THEIR
FLESH, THEIR OWN EARTHLY WISDOM AND EARTHLY KNOWLEDGE DECIDE
WHAT THIS OR THAT VERSE OF SCRIPTURE MEANS. They interpret the Word of
God totally apart from the Holy Spirit, but they claim their interpretations ARE SPIRIT
LEAD. Their theology is an INTELLECTUAL THEOLOGY, A CARNAL
THEOLOGY, A RATIONALIZED THEOLOGY, A THEOLOGY OF THE SENSE
MAN, THE SOUL MAN, OF THE LOWER MAN. Their theology will appear correct
to the carnal mind, to the sense mind. It will have a form of godliness, but it will not have
the power of the Holy Spirit behind it. It will be an EARTHLY GOSPEL.
It is also important to realize that this theology will be developed over a long period of
time. These self-willed opinions would then be promulgated via biblical commentaries,
research papers, tapes, videos and books that would spread throughout the entire Body of
Christ. Introduced first in the seminaries, they rapidly become accepted by the vast
majority of people. Because these false teachers are leaders and "learned men" of the
cloth, who are upheld as great theologians, everyone rushes to embrace these "new
illuminations" of truth. Soon they become established traditions, and traditions become
TRUTH. Many people thought the world was flat, and embraced it as a TRUTH, even
though the evidence was contrary to that position. All of these theologies would be a
product of the human mind, very rational, factually very accurate, but wholly devoid of
SPIRITUAL TRUTH. At it's very foundation it would be a work of Satan and his
demons, a work that is a hideous plot against all those souls who are attempting to find
out the truth behind life itself.

"For ye are yet CARNAL: for whereas there is among you ENVYING, AND
STRIFE, AND DIVISIONS, ARE YE NOT CARNAL, AND WALK AS MEN?
(1 Corinthians 3:3)

But if ye have BITTER ENVYING AND STRIFE IN YOUR HEARTS, GLORY


NOT, AND LIE NOT AGAINST THE TRUTH.

THIS WISDOM DESCENDETH

NOT FROM ABOVE,

BUT IS EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH."


(James 3:14-15)

Is this not now the position of denominational Christianity? They openly war upon each
other, even in their own denominations. They war upon each other within each church.
They have splits, divisions and factions. Each denomination claims that it is holding forth
THE TRUTH, THE WAY, THE LIGHT. The vast majority of these so called "truths"
totally oppose and contradict each other. Has the Holy Spirit gone insane? Is the Holy
Spirit divided against Himself? Is God a schizophrenic? Has the Godhead left the Church
or has the church left the Godhead? Do these multitudes of opposing truths come from
the God of harmony or from the GOD OF CONFUSION?

The scripture is very blunt, very plain. A ten year old can interpret Scripture correctly by
just reading what it says and accepting it for what it says. THIS WISDOM IS NOT
FROM GOD ABOVE, BUT IS EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. It is carnal, of the
flesh, of the sense and soul man. It is DEVOID OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, FOR IT IS
MAZE OF CONFUSION, CONTRADICTION, WARFARE, AND FACTIONS ALL OF
WHICH PORTRAY UTTER REBELLION AGAINST GOD. Each human mind
interprets as "it will", and so each church body becomes filled with heresies and strifes.
These men then draw off others after them and form denominations within
denominations, factions within factions, and it starts all over again.

The word "earthly" is "epigios" and it means OF THE EARTH, OF THE WORLD,
WORLDLY, OF THE FLESH, CARNAL, OF THE MIND, OF THE INTELLECT.
The word for "sensual" is "psuchikos" and it means THE FIVE SENSES. It is the
wisdom of man, of the intelligence of mankind. It refers to the soul man, the lower man,
the unregenerate man, a soul destitute of agape love. It does not have the illumination of
the Holy Spirit, it does not know or recognize the spirit of agape love, the spirit of Christ.
The word for 'devilish' is "daimomiodes", and it means DEVIL LIKE, FROM
DEMONS. The human mind is under the dominion of Satan, and that is what Peter is
referring to when he speaks of these heresies. They are from the self, which is
dominated by Satan. James put the finger right on the source.

The Holy Spirit cannot oppose Himself, and thus there cannot be opposing doctrine IN
TRUTH. God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit have unity, and their unity
springs from their essence of agape love, and from this inner light flows their unity in
truth and in doctrine. We will examine this issue much closer later in this series.

3. "EVEN DENYING THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM"

The word "denying" is "arneomai" and it means TO CONTRADICT, TO REFUSE OR


TO DISAVOW. It is important to understand that one can UPHOLD JESUS CHRIST
AND AT THE SAME TIME CONTRADICT WHAT HE SAYS. One can uphold Jesus
Christ and still refuse His commands or sayings. One can uphold Jesus Christ and still
disavow his clear cut commands. These false teachers are WITHIN THE
MAINSTREAM DENOMINATIONS. In order to remain there, they cannot OPENLY
DISAVOW JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. To do so would bring immediate expulsion from
the Church, because even with today's rank apostasy the main beliefs in Christ as
Messiah still remain. If one of these false teachers were to stand in front of a large
audience and UTTERLY DISAVOW JESUS CHRIST AS MESSIAH, AS CHRIST, HE
WOULD BE TOSSED OUT AT ONCE. This is not the only type of disavowing Peter is
speaking of here, although it does include it. He is speaking of leaders who UPHOLD
JESUS CHRIST TO THE MAXIMUM, but who CONTRADICT, REFUSE, OR
DISAVOW WHAT HE CLEARLY SAYS ONE MUST DO TO BE SAVED!
REMEMBER, THIS IS SPEAKING OF "DAMNABLE HERESIES."

They refute Christ, they contradict Christ, they disavow WHAT HE COMMANDED,
WHAT HE SAID. They develop a theology that "gets around" what Christ said. Their
theology, and doctrinal statements, when carefully examined, WILL ALWAYS
REFUTE THE STRAIT GATE AND NARROW WAY. They do so via
REINTERPRETATION OF WHAT CHRIST SAID. This interpretation will at the root
level ALWAYS STAND IN EXACT OPPOSITION TO WHAT JESUS CHRIST
SAID. For example, if Jesus said that the process of being saved is a journey, a process, a
progression one makes that leads to regeneration; the false teachers will tell you that
you obtain regeneration right away, and you make the journey, if any, IN UNION WITH
CHRIST FROM THAT POINT ONWARD. If Jesus says the way to true regeneration is
hard, full of pressure and agony of the soul; the false teachers will say that does not mean
what it says, that the way is easy, simple, and has none of these things, all we need to do
is make a sincere decision for Jesus, invite Him into our hearts, and we are saved, which
is easy. If Jesus said that only a small group of people will be saved; they will say that the
vast majority, if not everyone will be saved. If Jesus said you must die to obtain life; they
will say that was just a symbolism, and Jesus did not really mean what He said, for He
died for us, and we not need to do so. If Jesus said pick up your cross and follow Him,
they will say we need not to do that, because Christ did it all for us. If Jesus said you
must walk the narrow way, they will say that Jesus did it for us, we need not do it. If they
admit to the fact of picking up the cross, or to the narrow way, they will claim we
APPROPRIATE IT BY AN ACT OF FAITH, BY A SIMPLE ACT OF BELIEF, OR
THEY WILL REDEFINE WHAT IT REALLY MEANS.

In other words, THEY CONTRADICT JESUS CHRIST IN ALL THE KEY AREAS OF
SALVATION. Whatever Christ stated as a truth, they will have a counter theology to
prove Christ did not mean it. They will tell you that Christ did not mean that, and then
espouse their demonic doctrines to prove it. If Christ said the true definition of FAITH is
that faith which is a deep, abiding faith that allows you to walk the narrow way and have
it tested by fire, they will say faith is a simple decision, a belief. Their entire theology is a
counterfeit look alike that IN THE ROOT always opposes the PLAIN, SIMPLE, BLUNT,
AND MULTIPLE STATEMENTS OF JESUS CHRIST. What Jesus Christ said, Jesus
Christ meant. He also said YOU WOULD BE JUDGED BY THE VERY WORDS HE
SPOKE IF YOU DID NOT OBEY WHAT HE SAID. The many bought into a theology
of the false prophets that DENIED THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM.

Christ paid a terrible price to redeem the human race. He must have therefore felt the
eternal destiny of your soul was very important. If the human soul is so loved by Jesus
Christ, then do you not think HE WOULD MAKE THE WAY OF SALVATION
ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, SO CLEAR IT COULD NOT BE A MATTER OF
INTERPRETATION, BUT WOULD BE SO OBVIOUS ANYONE COULD
INTERPRET IT? IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO? So then the false prophets must
find a way to REINTERPRET THAT LOOKS TOTALLY AUTHENTIC TO THE
UNWARY BELIEVER. Their theology on the surface DOES NOT APPEAR AS A
CONTRADICTION. It appears as absolutely correct UNTIL ONE STUDIES THEIR
DOCTRINES. It "mirrors" and mimics what Christ commanded, yet it IS
DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO WHAT HE COMMANDED. That takes a
supernatural and very diabolical mind to come up with such a master counterfeit.

A contradiction is a contradiction. Here a little and there a little. The leaven gets mixed
into the truth, and finally the whole loaf is fully leavened, ripe for the fiery harvest of
Christ. The false teachers advance with total secrecy a doctrine so subtle, so insidious that
it sweeps millions into eternal ruin. These sincere and dedicated men of the cloth become
the unwitting dupes of Satan and then proceed to fabricate one error after another. What
starts as a small error grows into a major heresy. It is important to remember that these
false teachers uphold Jesus Christ. They acknowledge He is the Messiah. They uphold
many cardinal doctrines of the faith. Satan uses this to throw the unwary off guard. The
one area that Satan must destroy with false teachings is the strait gate and narrow way. It
is in this area that He sweeps in for a full frontal attack.

It is the upholding of Christ and many key doctrines that ALLOWS these false teachers to
appear as ANGELS OF LIGHT, SINCERE CHRISTIANS, A PART OF THE
SHEEPFOLD! When they then come out with their own interpretations as to "what the
scripture means" the vast majority of the Church accept it without question. This is
exactly as Satan intends.

4. "AND MANY SHALL FOLLOW THEIR PERNICIOUS WAYS"

The word "many" here is "polus" and it means MUCH, LARGELY, ABUNDANT,
GREAT MANY, PLENTEOUS, MOSTLY ALL, VAST NUMBERS OR VAST
MAJORITY. I repeat that for EMPHASIS. It means exactly what it says! The vast
majority of the Body of Christ, the sheepfold, are going to follow after these damnable
heresies of the false prophets. Allow that to sink in for full impact. These false doctrines
are going to be embraced BY ALMOST THE ENTIRE BODY OF CHRIST AS TRUE
SALVATION DOCTRINES. It also means far more:

Since the vast majority embrace these false salvation doctrines, that means THE FALSE
TEACHERS ARE VERY POPULAR, AND HAVE VAST MINISTRIES. THESE
PSEUDO-CHRISTIANS AND THEIR FALSE DOCTRINES BECOME THE "IN
THING". These false leaders, by their very popularity and huge followings would then
sweep millions into eternal ruin. They would be popular and well accepted, even
demanded as speakers and lecturers on the Christian circuits. Because we now know that
Christianity uses movies, videos, tapes, books, newspapers, crusades and entertainment to
get the message out, then these "popular" teachers, preachers and evangelists would be
supported and upheld by the Body of Christ! They will have huge radio and television
ministries, and a huge outreach. We know this is true because Peter is blunt: THE VAST
MAJORITY FOLLOW THEM, AND THESE MINISTRIES MUST THEN HAVE
HUGE FOLLOWINGS, FOR WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS. If the largest
number of Christians follow them, then we must say they are "popular", in fact, THEN
THEY MUST BE THE PRIME MOVERS AND SHAKERS OF ALL MODERN
CHRISTIAN OUTREACH. THIS IS A LATTER DAY PROPHECY, FOR THE
CLOSING ERA OF THE CHURCH.

THE VERY POPULARITY OF THESE FALSE PROPHETS PUTS THEM INTO


POSITION OF GREAT POWER AND INFLUENCE OVER THE BODY OF CHRIST.
This is why they are referred to as "evil". Their influence is so vast and their Gospel is
"hurtful" to the flock. These are the false shepherds, who came into the sheepfold "some
other way" but nevertheless are IN THE SHEEPFOLD. Their interpretations of the
Scripture would be accepted as the "Gospel truth". Anyone who suggested they were
wrong would be immediately branded a troublemaker and a heretic, for after all, WE
CAN'T ALL BE WRONG, AND THERE IS SAFETY IN NUMBERS. The popularity
of these false men of God is the primary tip off that something is radically wrong
with their message of salvation. These false prophets are not only popular in the church,
they are popular and well respected IN THE WORLD AT LARGE, which is where they
grab more "sheep" to bring in to the fold. They will be well respected men in the secular
world, and even sought after by world leaders for their spiritual advice. Jesus had this
blunt remark about BEING POPULAR:

"If the WORLD HATE YOU,

ye KNOW THAT IT HATED ME BEFORE

IT HATED YOU.

If ye were OF THE WORLD,

THE WORLD WOULD LOVE HIS OWN:

but because

YE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD, but I have chosen you out of the world,
Remember the word that I said unto you,

THE SERVANT IS NOT GREATER THAN HIS LORD.

If they PERSECUTED ME, THEY WILL PERSECUTE YOU,


IF THEY HAVE KEPT MY SAYING, THEY WILL KEEP YOURS ALSO.
BUT ALL THESE THINGS WILL THEY DO UNTO YOU
FOR MY NAME'S SAKE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW NOT HIM THAT SENT
ME."
(John 15:18-21)

Jesus Christ says here quite bluntly that THE WORLD AT LARGE, AND THAT
INCLUDES APOSTATE CHRISTIANITY WILL HATE THE PREACHER WHO
PREACHES THE TRUTH, THEY WILL HATE HIM AND WILL PERSECUTE HIM,
REVILE HIM, AND THEY WILL THROW HIM OUT OF THEIR CHURCHES, THEY
WILL SHUN HIM AND ATTEMPT BY ANY MEANS TO SILENCE HIM. They will
attack with lies, distortions, half truths, out of context statements and remarks, IN AN
EFFORT TO DESTROY. This is the nature of SIN. This is the nature of the
UNREGENERATE MIND, WHICH IS HOSTILE TOWARDS GOD. To be hated and to
be persecuted is the very OPPOSITE of being POPULAR. Thus we find a direct
contradiction:

POPULAR AND LOVED BY THE WORLD


VS.
HATED AND PERSECUTED BY THE WORLD

Jesus was most blunt that the WORLD LOVES IT'S OWN. It is then obvious that the
false prophets MUST AND DO BRING IN A WORLDLY GOSPEL, A GOSPEL THE
WORLD LOVES TO HEAR. They thus insure their popularity before men and ARE
NOT PREACHING OR TEACHING THE TRUTH WHATEVER. If they were telling
the truth, their popularity would fade rapidly, their coffers would dry up, and they would
find themselves OUT OF A BUSINESS PROFESSION, WHICH IS WHAT IT IS. These
false prophets are BUSINESS MEN, WHO MAKE MERCHANDISE OF CHRIST AND
HIS FOLLOWERS.

"Blessed are they

WHICH ARE PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE:


For theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men

SHALL REVILE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU,

AND SHALL SAY ALL MANNER OF EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY,

FOR MY SAKE.

Rejoice, and be EXCEEDING GLAD:


for GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN:
FOR SO PERSECUTED THEY THE PROPHETS WHICH WERE BEFORE
YOU."
(Matthew 5:10-12)

Do you think Jesus Christ was KIDDING? Do you think He does not know of what He
speaks? THE TRUE PROPHET OF GOD IS A HATED, REVILED MAN, HE IS
PERSECUTED BY HIS OWN CHURCH, FOR THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND
DOCTRINE, THEY WILL NOT ALLOW TRUTH TO BE PRESENTED, AND THEY
MUST THEN THROW OUT ALL TRUTH TELLERS. They will manufacture VICIOUS
LIES against the true prophet of God, they will ATTACK THE PERSON, BECAUSE
THEY CANNOT ATTACK THE TRUTH. He will be accused of all manner of
falsehoods, such as BEING A DEMONIC, BEING A FALSE PROPHET, BEING A
LIAR AND WORSE. Whatever the filthy minds can dredge up to hurl upon the true
minister of God, IT WILL BE DREDGED UP AND LAID UPON HIM. Glory be to
God!

This hardly sounds LIKE A POPULAR PREACHER! This does not sound like someone
the leaders of the world WOULD SEEK AFTER, or someone who would be the MOST
ADMIRED MEN OF THE WORLD. It sounds like the very OPPOSITE. If your
ministry is POPULAR WITH MOST PEOPLE, YOU BETTER EXAMINE YOUR
MESSAGE!

The word "follow" is "exakoloutheo", which means TO FOLLOW OUT, TO


IMITATE, OBEY, YIELD TO. The vast majority of Christians yield to these heresies,
and they follow after them and the false teachers who espouse them. The word
"pernicious" is "apoleia", the same word used for damnable, which means ETERNAL
RUIN OR LOSS. Notice that Peter is not speaking of following after the behavior
patterns, morals or ethics of these men, which by implication are above reproach. What
the many do is follow after the heresies, which bring in a multitude of "ways" to
salvation. If the followers of these false teachers end up in eternal ruin, what do you
suppose God will do with the teachers themselves? There is little excuse for a lack of
knowledge, and there is no excuse for apostasy. IT IS JUDGED BY GOD AND
CONDEMNED BY GOD.

SECOND PETER 2:2 does not say MIGHT FOLLOW OR COULD FOLLOW. It says
bluntly that the many WILL FOLLOW THE FALSE TEACHERS TO ETERNAL RUIN.
IT IS AN IMPERATIVE CONDITION; IT WILL HAPPEN. We have many on the broad
way, and we have many Christians following after false prophets, and many rejected by
Christ. Therefore by deduction we can conclude and confirm what Peter and Christ
warned: IT IS A FALSE DOCTRINE, THAT IF EMBRACED AND BELIEVED,
REMOVES THE POSSIBILITY OF EVER COMING INTO UNION WITH JESUS
CHRIST. Is all of this sheer coincidence?

5. BY REASON OF WHOM THE WAY OF THE TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL


SPOKEN OF.

This is a key verse for finding out just where it is the false prophets strike. Here is where
they will contradict, disavow and refuse what Christ clearly stated. Remember that right
after He spoke of the strait gate and narrow way that He warned of us the false prophets.
It was not coincidental, for Christ was clearly telling us the false prophets will zero in or
the ONLY WAY TO ENTER HEAVEN, AND ATTACK IT WITH A MASTERPIECE
COUNTERFEIT. Look at what Peter says:

THE WAY

OF THE TRUTH

SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.


The false prophets bring in a group of heresies that cause THE WAY of the truth to be
evil spoken of. Notice that THE TRUTH is not evil spoken of, but only THE WAY. It
is THE WAY of the truth that is evil spoken of, and NOT THE TRUTH ITSELF. It is
clear then that Peter is warning us that there will come false doctrines that will UPHOLD
JESUS CHRIST, UPHOLD THE TRUTH, UPHOLD DIVINE AGAPE LOVE,
UPHOLD ALL THE MAJOR TENETS. They will only cause THE WAY to be evil
spoken of. Remember the false prophets cannot speak evil of Jesus Christ, nor will they!
They uphold Jesus Christ to the world. IT IS ONLY "THE WAY" that they cause
problems with.

Jesus said that we must WALK THE NARROW "WAY". Jesus said that you could not
come to life, or know the truth unless you walked THE NARROW WAY, for IT
LEADETH unto LIFE. The WAY OF THE TRUTH IS STRAIT AND NARROW.
Because there is only one valid WAY of the truth, then obviously THE FALSE
PROPHETS WILL DEVELOP THEOLOGIES AND DOCTRINES THAT CAUSE
PEOPLE TO SPEAK EVIL OF THE REAL WAY, WHICH IS STRAIT AND
NARROW. The word for "way" here is "hodos", and it means HIGHWAY, ROAD,
PATHWAY, PROGRESS, JOURNEY. It is the mode by which one enters in to the
NEW COVENANT. Peter then is most blunt, and it is beyond misinterpretation:

THE HIGHWAY, PATHWAY, JOURNEY, PROGRESS

OF THE TRUTH

SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.

The heresies of these Christian leaders will zero in ON THE WAY, AND ONCE
EMBRACED, THEY CAUSE THE PEOPLE TO SPEAK EVIL OF THE REAL WAY.
What could be more obvious? Peter is saying that THOSE ON THE BROAD WAY WILL
EMBRACE THE THEOLOGY OF THE FALSE PROPHETS, AND THOSE ON THE
NARROW WAY WILL COME UNDER ATTACK:

"STRAIT IS THE GATE AND NARROW IS THE WAY......

THE WAY OF THE TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.

Now we know why these heresies ARE DAMNABLE. They come against THE ONLY
WAY TO HEAVEN THERE IS, THE NARROW WAY. Their theology refutes it, denies
it, contradicts. We will study this 'way' of Jesus Christ in full detail in this Dark Light
series, and this way is mentioned in ACTS 16:17; 18:25; 1 CORINTHIANS 12:31,
HEBREWS 10:20 AND 2 PETER 2:15. All of these words are "hodos" and refer to the
journey of the Christian that leads unto life, which will be proved, is REGENERATION.
The wise Christian will not spiritualize away the meaning of the word "way" and will
also become obedient to it.
Therefore it is the STRAIT GATE AND NARROW WAY THAT THE FALSE
TEACHERS COME AGAINST, AND THEIR DOCTRINES ARE ACCEPTED
CHURCH WIDE AS TRUTH. The word truth in this passage by Peter is "aletheia" and it
means THAT WHICH IS TRUTH. The root is "alethes" and it means THE WHOLE
TRUTH, AS NOT CONCEALING, AS NOTHING HIDDEN, NOTHING
CONCEALED, BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS, ALL OF IT.
Remember the word "privily"? That it meant something done by SUBREPTION?
SUBREPTION MEANS TO HIDE OR CONCEAL CERTAIN FACTS. THE FACT
THAT IT IS CONCEALED IS THIS; IT IS

ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR EVERYONE

TO WALK THE NARROW WAY OR THEY CANNOT ENTER HEAVEN!

That aspect will be concealed, altered, twisted and destroyed by an entire new satanic
theology. By hiding the necessary facts concerning what true salvation actually entails,
THEY NULLIFY THE NEW COVENANT, NULLIFY THE GRANT OF PETITION
FOR MERCY, AND DESTROY THE MILLIONS WHO EMBRACE IT FOR EVER
AND EVER.

PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF THE 'WAY'.

We are going to prove out that when Jesus Christ said there was a 'way' that LEADETH
UNTO LIFE, that he was not fooling even one bit. This was the most serious of all
doctrines, which is why Christ spent time explaining it, and then warning that a new
theology would emerge that would attempt to do away with it. As you know the word
way is "hodos" and it means A JOURNEY, PROGRESS, HIGHWAY, PATHWAY. It is
therefore the MEANS, THE MODE, A PROCESS USED. It is the obvious that we
often overlook and stumble upon, so it is necessary to review some things here that
SHOULD BE OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE.

First Jesus said there was a literal "way". Second, He said this WAY leadeth unto LIFE.
The word 'leadeth' is very important, for it proves the meaning of the word "way". It is
"apago" and it means TO CARRY AWAY, TO LEAD OFF, TO PUT TO DEATH, TO
TAKE AWAY. It implies DISTANCE BETWEEN THE STARTING POINT AND
THE DESTINATION. The point between START and FINISH IS THE 'WAY'. The
starting point is the STRAIT GATE. The finish is "LIFE," the distance in between is
THE NARROW WAY.

1. If there is a highway, a journey, a progress, then you must ENTER this journey at some
point, i.e., you must GET ON THE ROAD AT SOME POINT. If there is a journey, you
must START THE JOURNEY AT A SPECIFIC LOCATION. If there is a progress, you
must BEGIN somewhere. So then we have AN ENTRANCE, A GATE, A STARTING
POINT. Jesus called it the 'STRAIT GATE', AND HE SAID WE ARE TO "STRIVE" TO
ENTER IN. It is therefore DIFFICULT TO EVEN ENTER THE STRAIT GATE, AND
MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE.

2. If there is a highway, then obviously the HIGHWAY, PROGRESS OR JOURNEY


COVERS A GIVEN DISTANCE, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE START AND
FINISH POINTS. That is why Jesus used the word "leadeth". If there is a distance to
travel to reach your destination, then obviously YOU MUST TRAVEL THE ENTIRE
DISTANCE TO REACH THE DESTINATION. If there is a progress to be made, you
must reach the destination to be successful! If you stop short of your intended destination,
then you do not ever reach it. You cannot claim you are at the destination at the
beginning, or at the middle, but ONLY WHEN YOU ACTUALLY REACH THE
SPECIFIED DESTINATION. In this case, the specified destination is called "life". It will
be proven that "life" is AUTHENTIC REGENERATION. The way you obtain this "life"
is to travel the "NARROW IS THE WAY" SAID JESUS.

3. If there is a highway, progress, journey, and you start at the specified starting point, and
travel the entire distance to reach the destination, then IT MUST TAKE TIME TO
ACCOMPLISH. If there is a journey to be made, IT MUST TAKE TIME TO
ACCOMPLISH. If there is a progress to be made, and you must start at the beginning
and travel the entire route to the destination, then it must TAKE TIME TO
ACCOMPLISH.

The Lord of our Universe gave us a very specific starting point, THE STRAIT GATE.
There is NO OTHER METHOD OF ENTRANCE OTHER THAN THE STRAIT
GATE. He gave us a very specific pathway or way we must follow, THE NARROW
WAY. There is no other WAY OR METHOD TO ENTER THE NEW COVENANT.
EITHER YOU JOURNEY ALONG IT, OR YOU DO NOT AVAIL YOURSELF OF
THE NEW HEART.

IT IS AN EXCLUSIVE.
