Discernment: sound judgment, distinguishing between truth and deception, between truth and lies,
"For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires." 2 Timothy 4:3 BSB
Thank you, Jenise, for such a powerful, bold letter. Everyone should listen closely to every word spoken here. Speaking now about the subject of Discernment, it is needed now more than ever within the Church as those ( the wolves in sheep's clothing) lead believers away from the LORD, not closer to Him, through philosophies of men, New Age thought, Occultism disguised as Bible truths, tickling the ears of the listeners, teaching them what they want to hear not what they need to hear, compromising Bible truths for lies of the Devil.
Yes, those are strong words, but this topic is serious. Serious enough for one to lose their soul for all eternity by being led astray to believe and follow a false jesus, a false gospel, a false faith where Bible truths are twisted to appear genuine but are not.
"1 Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed. 3 In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep." 2 Peter 2:1-3 BSB
Yes, stay vigilant and test all things, dear beloved.
"But test all things. Hold fast to what is good. Abstain from every form of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 BSB
"Now is the time for Discernment."
