Many Christians assume because their spiritual leaders went to Bible colleges, have degrees in theology and are ordained ministers, they are delivering the truth but it is becoming very obvious many are not.

In the early part of my Christian journey about 30 years ago, I also fell for many of the lies being taught today. However, as I began to question what I was hearing from my spiritual leaders and poured myself into the Scriptures, I became painfully aware that I was being deceived and then I began to question them on those issues to which they would not give reasonably good and logical answer.

A very interesting Christian article describes the similarity between poison, lies and false teachers.

It stated, just as in the movies, in order to poison someone, the killer would not give the victim poison straight out. That would be too obvious and easily detected by the investigating authorities.

Instead, the killer would introduce a bit of the poison with a good tasting drink, that way it went undetected by the victim and was untraceable.

In the same way, lies are introduced into the church to introduce false teachings straight out into the message would be too obvious. The false teacher would instead gradually over a period of time, mix a bit of the lies with the truth of God’s words to make it sound true.
