Rhinestone Christianity (4 of 10)
Series: Lessons from 1st John
Dr. Larry Osborne
1 John 2:18-29
Things aren't always as they appear - Here are two more simple questions designed to reveal who's for real and who's just pretending to know God.
THE PASSAGE: Beware, the Antichrist may have moved into a neighborhood near yours!
1 John 2:18-29
Three Things To Watch Out For:
The Telltale Signs of a Modern Day Spiritual Deceiver
1 John 2:22-27/ 1 Timothy 1:6-7 and 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 and 13-15/ Galatians 1:8-9
- A special spiritual guru
- New and novel teachings
- A different Jesus
TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS:
1. The Perseverance question: Did they stick it out or bail out?
1 John 2:19/ Hebrews 10:35-39/ Matthew 13:1-23
- Good starts don't guarantee happy endings.
- Don't judge too quickly: Detours don't always mean a departure.
- So why do some of us bail out?
1 John 2:19/ 1 Corinthians 10:13 and 1 Peter 1:6-7/ Matthew 13:1-23/ Hebrews 10:24-25
- Never had it in the first place - Cultural Christianity
-Disillusioned by trials
- Seduced by worldly treasures
- Arrogance - I don't need it
2. The Jesus question: Is Jesus "THE" Messiah or "A" messiah?
1 John 2:22-26/ Hebrews 1:3 and Colossians 2:9/ John 14:6-9/ Galatians 2:21 and 1 Timothy 2:5-6
- If Jesus isn't God, He's not a great teacher either.
He's a fraud!
