OLD BOTTLES AND WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING

 “And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.” (Luke 5:36-39). It is so hard for people, because of their pride, who have been taught for a long period of time a false doctrine, or teaching, for them to admit that their Preacher or Teacher could be wrong, especially one whom they trusted in or looked up to with respect. They are like the guy whose mind is made up and he doesn’t want to be confused with the facts. The sad thing is that they not only fall into a strong delusion themselves, but they infect others with their delusion. “and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (II Thessalonians 2:10-12), and it goes on and on to others. If you in your heart are harboring any false doctrine or teaching and won’t let it go, because of your pride and unwillingness to admit that you were wrong, after you have been shown the truth from the Word of God, that your false teacher was wrong, then this makes you a wolf in sheep clothing. Here is a word of caution. “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”(Galatians 1:8,9) You can brush this off if you want and just be like an Ostrich who just sticks his head in the sand, and say “I just want to love Jesus and win souls”.  I tell you the truth, teaching false doctrine is a very serious sin with God, or the Lord wouldn’t have mentioned it twice in Galatians Chapter 1. There is hope, ask Jesus to forgive you and others who you may have infected with your false doctrine, and quit listening to false preachers and teachers who spout out false lies from satan himself. If you think this message is for you, your right. Can you receive it? I’m only writing this to you because I love you!
