The early church had to watch carefully for signs of false doctrine, and we must continue to do this today. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians%201:8&version=NIV 2009-09-25T11:46:04-05:00 It's hard to think of anything worse than preaching a false gospel--of presenting a false teaching to people while claiming that it's from God. Here, the author declares that if he ever preaches something contrary to God's word, he deserves to be cursed. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Timothy%201:3-4&version=NIV 2009-09-25T10:25:31-05:00 The early Christian evangelist Timothy is told to work with the church to prevent false teachers and false doctrine from poisoning the church and causing strife and dissension. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Timothy%206:3-5&version=NIV 2009-08-31T10:19:49-05:00 False teachers are repeatedly condemned throughout the Bible. Anyone who spreads false teachings or doctrines in the church is to be avoided; they're just troublemakers who will cause dissent.
