- Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. Now, as we look at false teachers, identifying them, spotting them, the warnings that Scripture gives for them,
- 00:22
- Jude makes it pretty nice in verse 16. He provides for us a way of really, in one verse, describing what many false teachers can be described and how to spot them.
- 00:33
- He says in verse 16, That right there is a description of a false teacher.
- 00:50
- When you see people that act this way, they're going to be loud. They're going to be sitting there and boasting about what they've done.
- 00:58
- They're going to put down other people. They're going to give favoritism, where it gives them advantage.
- 01:04
- You're going to see them show preference for people, because it's all about them gaining an advantage over everything.
- 01:11
- You see that really what it comes down to, it is their selfishness. Many of them are seeking their own selfish desires.
- 01:18
- Now, sometimes those selfish desires are sexual. That is true. But it also, a lot of times, has more to do with a selfish desire for money.
- 01:27
- They want to gain from other people's labor. They want to serve themselves, and they want everyone else to serve them, too.
- 01:35
- We can spot false teachers, but we must be warned about them, because they are under a judgment.
- 01:42
- Even if that judgment doesn't come today, there is a judgment coming. We must warn them, not placate them, and definitely not let others listen to them.
