what does the bible say about false teachers?

A9

2 Timothy 4:3 - For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions

This is not about judging but pointing out the facts. Most churches are all about entertainment in hope of bringing in the crowds. If your going to do that then preach the truth, focus more on the teachings of Jesus and yes preach hell fire. There is no fear of God anymore, remember what is written in Proverbs 9:10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding salvation is not a joke, it determines where you spend all eternity.

There is nothing I hate more than false pastors preaching thier own doctrines and mixing a little truth with lies. The fact is while your giving them all your money, there out buying Jets and Shopping Malls, and you still poor and waiting for that promised blessing you paid for. These people are masters of deception. There are more videos below on false teachers.

The truth is, the churches wouldn't be as packed if they focused on preaching the authentic message of Christ, one that demands a transformative lifestyle change—something many are reluctant to embrace. This approach would likely attract fewer people to the pews. Instead, they opt for a one-size-fits-all prosperity gospel, wherein there's no need for personal growth. It's primarily centered on health, wealth, and success, preaching that financial prosperity reflects God's favor. They propagate the belief that faith, positive affirmations, and monetary contributions will amplify one's material wealth. Essentially, the more you give, the greater your blessings—a manipulation of scripture to accommodate diverse lifestyles. The reality is, they're leading people astray, shielding them from the genuine essence of faith.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 - For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

The issue lies in the fact that most attendees of these churches don't delve into the Bible themselves; they simply absorb what the pastors preach and accept it at face value because it resonates with them emotionally. That's why it's crucial to engage with the scriptures directly. Once you do, you'll recognize the prevalence of the prosperity gospel in their teachings. The ones reaping the benefits are primarily the pastors themselves.

This distortion of truth leads people away from God, as they're presented with a skewed version of faith that caters to their desires. Among these pastors, Kenneth Copeland stands out as one of the most extreme examples, also ranking as one of the wealthiest. The things he utters can be downright absurd—I've witnessed him commanding hair to grow back in the name of Jesus before a crowd, to no avail.

There is a new article on him thanking Jesus for a man seeding him a bently in hopes of a healing, check it out here . Unfortunately, he's just one among many. Here's a roster of other false or prosperity preachers that John Mcarthur points out: Joel Osteen, TD Jakes, Joyce Meyer, Steven Furtick, Jerry Savelle, Benny Hinn, Paula White, Creflo Dollar, Mike Murdoch, Andy Stanly, Mark Driscoll. You may not agree with this list but unless you read your bible and know the word of God, then you will be misled.

Let’s not forget about the fake healers out there. I'm not sure if any of them are real today. There is so much deception out there, please read the bible for yourselves, this is how you will know a wolf in sheep’s clothing, is up there on the stage, twisting the truth and telling lies. Just because it sounds good doesn’t mean its true.
