My beloved. You are aware that the Bible says that in the last days there will be doctrines of demons…
1 Timothy 4 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” KJV … It is to be regretted that our country has become a breeding ground for religious and false doctrine based on superstition and not on the Scriptures. It has been told us here, how some people claim that God told them when they died that those who wear ear ring and other things will go to hell. How can anybody with any brain believe that junk; it beats me to start with.
1. We do not get our doctrines from dreams and visions and miracles or supernatural manifestations …
Galatians 1:8 “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” KJV
2 Corinthians 11 “13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” KJV
2. We get our doctrines from the Scriptures … 2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” KJV
3. The Scripture says we are SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES…
4. These rumor being spread have no proof whatsoever. There is no proof this fellow really died. There is no proof of death at all. He may have been in coma and they conclude that he died. He may have not even have died at all. He may have had an encounter with the devil himself and they claim it was God. There are many of other religious inclinations who also claim after death experience with spirits. If he died or not… what he said is not according to any Bible verse at all. If men can wear wrist watches and wedding bands
(rings) and are not defiled, how is it that only women who wear the same metal except it is an ear ring will go to hell!!!
I am writing you, so nobody is deceived to give heed to these arrant ranting of the devil. If you have any further concerns, I will be glad to talk about it.
2 Thessalonians 2:2 “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.” KJV
Colossians 2:18 “Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels, saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud, 19 and they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For he holds the whole body together with its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it. 20 You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as, 21 “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!”? 22 Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. 23 These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.” NLT
Thanks and may the peace of God keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
