I'm saying that we are to expose heresy by preaching the truth that is contrary to the heretical pov, from the word of the Lord.
So its ok then to be like Jesus and the Apostles below correct ?
Matthew 23:13
13 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
Matthew 23:15
15 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
Matthew 23:16
16 "Woe to you, blind guides!
Matthew 23:23
23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
Matthew 23:25-26
25 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
Matthew 23:27-28
27 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
Matthew 23:33-34
33 "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?
John 8:41-45
"We are not illegitimate children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God himself."
42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me.
43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Acts 20:28-31
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.
29 I know that after I leave
, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
2 Corinthians 6:14-17
Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship
has light with darkness?
15 Or
what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
16 Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,
"I will dwell in them and walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17 "Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate," says the Lord.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
For
such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
15 It is not surprising, then, if
his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
1 Timothy 1:3-4
As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach
false doctrines any longer
4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies.
1 Timothy 6:3-5
If anyone teaches
false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
4 he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
5 and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth
2 Peter 2:1
But 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 sovereign Lord who bought them — bringing swift destruction on themselves.
1 John 4:1-3
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many
false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is
the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
2 John 7-11
For many
deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ
as coming in the flesh. This is
the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Watch yourselves, that you might not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.
9 Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into
your house, and do not give him a greeting;
11 for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.
Jude 1:12-13
These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm — shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn
trees, without fruit and uprooted — twice dead.
13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for
whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
Jude 1:17-19
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.
18 They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires."
19 These are the men who divide you,
who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
