WHO IS THE FALSE TEACHER?
Paul, aka Saul wrote, “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 Timothy 4:3-4.
Brothers and Sisters, the time has come since centuries ago that many Christians can no longer endure sound doctrine, but no one has paid any attention. Why? Because Christians have turned their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fantasy and tales that tickle their itching ears.
Paul, aka Saul wrote, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9. Paul, aka Saul said that we are saved by faith alone, and not work. Salvation is a gift from Jesus. We don't have to do anything other than "believe" to receive salvation. Jesus Christ, on the other hand, said, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all [who are] in the house. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16. Praise Jesus! Hallelujah! Jesus said, we are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Hallelujah! Praise Jesus! Jesus wants us to be His witness through our good works. Do something good instead of doing nothing. Demons believe in Jesus. Can they be saved? I agree with the apostle James when he addressed those confused Christians as fools (James 2:20).

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. "You will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:15,16. What are their fruits? Their false teachings that tickle our ears are their fruits. They please men with their false teachings. They spent hours preparing their sermons each week on how to please men, and not how to please God.
"Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20.
"Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23.

"And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23.
Do we know who the false teacher is? Yes, we know them by their fruits. Their fruits, what they teach, contradict with what Jesus and His prophets teach.
Jesus said, "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Matthew 24:11,24,35,36.
Are we ready to greet Him with our chin up, or chin down when He returns tonight?
It is not easy to get into heaven, Bro. Jesus said, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide [is] the gate and broad [is] the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. "Because narrow [is] the gate and difficult [is] the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14.
If we believe in Jesus that He will save us does not mean that He will save us. The men/women of great faith described in Matthew 7:21-23 believed that Jesus will save them. Instead, Jesus sends them straight to hell! No detour.
Do we now know who the false teacher is?
