So-called Christians who false teachers have deceived go into the world and spread their watered-down beliefs, which causes society to lose its morals.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
The way of truth is what the Bible teaches, not what these worldly false teachers preach from the pulpits. They have watered down the message and speak evil of the actual teachings of the Bible.
They don’t want to offend anyone, so they tickle their congregation’s ears.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2 Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
If you watch so-called Christian TV, read many so-called Christian websites, or attend a so-called Christian church, most are not teaching the Truth.
“They offer a Truth that is weakened or influenced by worldly views. Don’t let yourself be swayed by a diluted version of the Truth.”
That’s why it’s essential to study the Bible personally. Its pages hold the truth for eternal life.
Matthew 7:13 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:
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
To gain a proper understanding of a subject, it is recommended to purchase a Strong’s Concordance.
This resource will allow you to look up any word related to the subject you wish to learn about and find all the relevant scripture passages in the Bible.
By studying and comparing these passages, you will gain a deeper understanding of the truth about your chosen subject.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
Many Christian TV channels and websites promote a mix of religion and worldly beliefs. It’s essential to seek out sources that prioritize biblical truth over popular opinion.
The devil is the god of this world, the ruler of all that is corrupt and immoral. As we navigate through life, it is essential to be aware of this reality and resist the temptation to succumb to the devil’s influence.
By choosing to lead a virtuous and righteous life, we can overcome the power of evil and create a better world.
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Christians are called to overcome the world, meaning they should gain victory over its temptations and refrain from participating in its pleasures.
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
What do we overcome but the things that are in it, that is, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1 John 2:17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
I created my website around Romans 12:2 to facilitate transformation within the church by renewing their minds with the word of God.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The word conform means to not fashion oneself like the world, not to conform to the same pattern of the world, or fashion oneself according to the world.
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

The third chapter of 2 Timothy describes the condition of the church in the end times, which has fallen away from the truth.
2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come
2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2 Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2 Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
I hope you will hear Romans 12:2, study the Bible, and allow its truth to transform you by renewing your mind.
1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
