You know, the conversation you read in the Gospels between Jesus and the Pharisees is very instructive.

The Pharisees believed Jesus was a false teacher.

They even accused Him of casting out demons by Beelzebub and said that He was operating by the power of evil spirits.

That means you have to be careful before you call somebody false.

All I’m trying to say is this: a lot of people are not false; they are simply wrong.

There is a difference between being false and being mistaken.

I’m saying this because, some years ago, I was preaching, and a young lady came to our church. She heard me teaching, went back to her father, and said, “You are a false teacher. I have met my pastor.”

Her father then called me and asked, “What are you telling my child?”

I explained everything to him, and after listening, the man said, “Okay, you are correct, but you need wisdom.”

That statement stayed with me: you can be correct and still need wisdom.

Don’t get the message and miss the heart.

Many Christians are critical, but they are not prescriptive.

They are quick to point out what is wrong, but they are not always discerning enough to understand why someone is asking the question in the first place.

For example, you can be arguing with somebody about suicide and be so concerned about winning the theological or intellectual argument that you fail to realize that the person may be asking because they are actually considering taking their own life.

You want to win an argument, but you may lose a soul.

Christians are not always emotionally intelligent.

Look at John 11. Here, Jesus knew that He was going to raise Lazarus from the dead. He already knew the outcome. Yet when He saw Mary and the people mourning, Jesus wept.

Why did He have to cry when He knew He was going to raise Lazarus?

Because sometimes people don't just need somebody who can change their situation. They need somebody who can sympathize with their pain.

You may say, “I don’t want somebody who cannot sympathize with me, even though they have the power to change my situation.”

And that is exactly what GOD is showing us about HIS heart:

“I don’t just change things; I also meet you where you are.”

I’m trying to help us understand that you can say the right thing with the wrong heart, and in that moment, you are still wrong.

If the devil cannot get you to do the wrong thing, he will try to get you to do the right thing the wrong way.

Is it bad to steal? Yes.

Is it bad to condemn people? Yes.

So how do you talk to a thief?

When you see someone doing wrong, you may immediately feel like condemning them. But you have to learn to reach the heart of the person.

Why?

Because that is how GOD saw you.

You were once HIS enemy. If GOD had simply condemned you without extending mercy, where would you be?

But HE reached you with grace.

Therefore, when you correct people, don't lose the person while correcting the problem.

Truth matters. Correction matters. Holiness matters. But so does the heart with which you communicate them.

Never let your pursuit of being right make you lose the ability to love people.

You need the knowledge of God's word so as to identify false prophets using the scriptures to distinguish between true and false prophets. Hebrews 5:14

Why must you be aware of these things and speak up?

You have friends and families and you surely love them so you won't fold your harms watching your dear love ones enter into the darkness of falsehood therefore you will do whatever is within your power to save them. Now if you tell your own someone that a so called pastor is false out of love for your friend or relative the person will confidently quote you anywhere if such a person values your utterances that is why you need to have scriptural backing for whatever you believe or say so that whoever listens to you won't just quote you but the scriptures you quote!

Hmm. The LORD is our Shepherd

Sorry, you are falls aka false.

Everyone can see that the Pharisees lied against Jesus and insalted Him because He was even True. So you are both wrong and falls (false)

The flaw in your point is; till date, the Jews are still expecting their 'Messiah'
So would you absolve or blame the nowadays Jews of the same?

It is you who is wrong yet again because this reply is a change of post. The topic is not whether the jews are still expecting the Messiah.

Plus, since God took them out of Egypt, they never ever walked with God, so it is expected that they would speak Lies against God's Son, when they had even beaten and murdered God's messengers.

So, Truth is that they are looking for Messiah or Messiahs to murder them all bone thugs style

We in the last foul days of these trials and tribulations
And I'm waiting for the Lord,oh please don't leave me forsaken
Caught up in the doom,prepare for Satan.. .

Come Murder One, Come Murder One
Come Murder One, Come Murder One
Murder them all
