I think it's in Another Gospel or The Redeemer is Returning to Zion where David Wilkerson says concerning false teachers: "They may start out right but they are TRANSFORMED by the gospel they are preaching." This is so true! May God help us if we ever begin to nose around doctrines that are not from His heart!! As Carter Conlon says in "Run For Your Life," "CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT!!" These ministries, even though they are not truth, are very, very powerful. "And Jesus answered and said to them, "SEE TO IT that no one misleads you...For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance." Matthew 24:1, 24-25 "BEWARE of the false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves." Matthew 7:15 None of us are above falling...and no matter how much knowledge we have, if we give the flesh opportunity, we might slip!"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and MAKE NO PROVISION FOR THE FLESH in regard to its lusts." Romans 13:14 "I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that YOU CANNOT TOLERATE EVIL MEN, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false." Revelation 2:2 "From Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way." Psalms 119:104 My heart has been so grieved over these things lately..--Maria :cry:

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." 2 Tim 4:3-4Surely that time has come.It's one thing to be ignorant, quite another to be apathetic. The hearer's, that don't know any better, that have been led astray, the ones that will turn away because of them....It's not only the obvious, but also the subtle.The slow decay is always more effective, erroding the truth a little bit at a time.
