For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
“No one enriches hell more than false teachers. False teachers have been present in every era of human history, they have always been a plague and have always been in the business of providing counterfeit truth.”
That is a strong statement by author and blogger, Tim Challies, our guest this weekend on The Christian Worldview. He has written a “False Teachers Series” on his website that features a who’s who of those who have led or are leading people astray from the full revealed truth in God’s Word.
We will discuss some of the following false teachers profiled by Challies:
- Marcus Borg (progressive Christianity)
- Charles Taze Russell (Jehovah’s Witnesses)
- Ellen G. White (Seventh Day Adventists)
- Norman Vincent Peale (positive thinking)
- Harry Fosdick (theological liberalism)
- Pope Francis (works righteousness)
- Muhammad (Islam)
- Benny Hinn (faith healing)
- Creflo Dollar (prosperity gospel)
- Brian McClaren (Emerging Church)
- TD Jakes (modalism)
- Joseph Smith (Mormonism)
- Pelagius (moral salvation)
What is it that these men and women teach that is so dangerous? Is it divisive to name the names of those who teach things contrary to Scripture? Get ready to sharpen your discernment as we take a deeper look at some notable false teachers.
