Pastor Kun:

Bros, you didn't mention the error of the false tithing doctrine you also erroneously believe and promote.

Error mongers!

TEXT: MARK 12:18-27

"And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God" (Mark 12:24).

The Italian adventurous sailor, Christopher Columbus discovered the American continent in 1492.  But he never knew the magnitude of his discovery.  He died believing erroneously that he had opened up the route to India in the east!  Centuries earlier, the Bible recorded the preoccupation of another group of people who lived and died in delusion: the Sadducees.  In today’s study, they approached our Lord Jesus Christ, not genuinely seeking the truth but rather tempting to use earthly tradition to restate their wrong position on the doctrine of resurrection.
   
Over the ages, man’s penchant for creation of false teachings to resist divinely revealed truth has not waned.  There’s a group in Christendom which denies the divinity of Jesus.  They argue that He is only a mighty prophet and no more.  Another has refuted the biblical claim of hell as a final fiery home of the sinner.  They console themselves with the theory of purgatory where the dead souls’ transgressions are “purged” preparatory to admission into heaven! Some other Christian groups advocate eternal security saying that  once a person is saved, no matter what else he does he cannot lose his salvation.
   
Although each generation has come up with its own error and heresy, yet there is only one time-honoured, never failing antidote to these poisonous doctrines: the Bible.  Our Lord attributed the ignorance and error of these people to lack of biblical truth: "Do not ye therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? . . .  Ye therefore greatly err" (Mark 12:24,27b).
   
To both challenge and avoid falling into the deadly traps of error mongers therefore, the committed Christian who wants to make heaven must be grounded in the infallible Word of God.  If the Sadducees and the world knew the scriptures and the power of God, they wouldn’t err.  That is the object lesson.

Thought for the day:  "Jesus is the truth . . .  Who sets free from all error"
