Session Four: Identifying False Teachers in Jude

Today on The Wrap Report, we have something for you. That is Snatch Them From the Flames Home Edition. This is session number four, where I, your host, Andrew Rapoport, was teaching on the way to identify false teachers through the entire book of Jude.

Yes, we will get through the entire book of Jude in less than an hour and a half, and in the process teach you how to identify false teachers. If you want to see the full seven-plus hours of Snatch Them From the Flames, just go to strivingforeternity .org.

Then go to the online events, and you can see the full conference. And it's something you can have at your church. Just invite us out to speak. Coming your way now on The Wrap Report, identifying false teachers.

Welcome to The Wrap Report with your host, Andrew Rapoport, where we provide biblical interpretation and application. This is a ministry of Striving for Eternity and the Christian Podcast Community. For more content or to request a speaker for your church, go to strivingforeternity .org.

So just a reminder for folks, if you would like to get half off at our books, and I was just informed that our shipping is off, so you're actually getting a better price on shipping. We're losing about $5 per book or per shipment with some of the larger shipments, but that's fine.

If you use the code MOVE in your discount code, you'll get 50 off on all books and syllabuses. So if you ever wanted to take our Striving for Eternity Academies, you want to take that longer edition that I was referring to of the biblical hermeneutics class.

Well, you can get this academy syllabus half price. We've never actually done this before. And actually, I didn't ask my board, so I may have gotten in trouble. We'll see. I just made the executive decision that we were doing half off to save us from moving all the inventory.

So what do they believe? What do we believe? It'd be a great time to buy those. We have a lot of those. So if we can carry less of them when we move out to Pennsylvania, we're moving everything out there.

So that would be helpful. Again, just to remind you, Justin Peters has got a new website. So check that out. Also, as just a reminder here, please be sharing this on social media. We want to be able to have people get this teaching.

But if you'd like us to come to your church, Justin and I can do that. We do something different. Justin, you brought up in the last session some things with social justice. And what we're doing is when we come to your church, we could do an all day Saturday, which would be similar to what we're doing here.

But if your church wants to have the Friday night session, what we end up doing is including two new sessions that we haven't done that will include social justice. And we include another speaker, Anthony Silvestro.

And if Anthony can't get there, Justin and I do the social justice because we've both talked about that. So those are some things that are available for you. And what we'll do now is, and I don't know, Justin, do you have any other any other announcements that you need to make?

Anything going on with ministry?

No, I will. I'm working on a book right now. I'm turning my Clouds Without Water seminar into a book. I'm going to write two books on. The first one's going to be a short book. It's going to be translated into Russian really soon.

And I'm working on that right now. I hope to have that finished in the next couple of three weeks. And then, Lord willing, later, since this will be a short book, I'll put some more meat on the bones and make it into a longer book, a bit more comprehensive.

So turning Clouds Without Water into a book.

That will be very helpful because one of the questions we were getting was resources. And so that'll be helpful. Well, what we're going to do now is we will transition into the going through the book of Jude.

And so I'm going to let Justin put him in the backstage. And this is now identifying false teachers. What I'd like to do with y 'all is to go through the book of Jude. And Jude is this whole book we're going to cover.

And so because this book is going to help us to identify false teachers. We're going to go through the book of Jude. Now, just have no fear. It only took me four months to preach through this in church.

So I hope you all have your snacks, your coffee, your pillows. You're all ready. But we're going to do it in less time than that. We're going to look at 28 traits of a false teacher. Now, Justin can do these things with eight and five points.

I'm doing 28. So we're going to be here a little bit. But let's talk about false teachers. Maybe you can identify some of the people here. There's a number of false teachers, and that number continues to grow.

We must have an understanding of how to identify these people. Why? Because the Bible commands us to identify and mark false teachers. And in order to mark a false teacher, you first must know how to identify a false teacher.

And, you know, Justin will often mention that every book of the New Testament, except for one, mentions false teacher. Which one? I'll get to that in a bit. But let's start by the fact that what Jude says in Jude, the first three, the first two verses, Jude's introducing himself, Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to those who are called beloved in God the Father and kept in Jesus Christ, may mercy, peace, and love multiply to you.

And then he gets into the meat of his letter in verse three. And he says, So the issue is he desperately wanted to talk about the common salvation that they have, but he was pressured to ask them to contend for the faith.

And that's when you end up seeing the Greek word there. It means to be pressured. It means that he felt the pressure that because he was worried about these false teachers, he felt there was an obligation that he had to put aside what he'd prefer to speak about.

And Justin and I share this as well. The two of us would love to sit here and spend this day with you, talking about the common salvation we have. We could talk about the glories of Christ, the riches that we could see in the person and nature of Jesus Christ, to talk about the glories of what it will be like to sit at his feet and to rejoice with him without sin.

That would be so wonderful to speak about. And yet, because these false teachers exist, we are pressured. It is necessary for us to have to do this to teach people how to discern false teachers. We don't want to be here warning about false teachers.

Both Justin and I would prefer that we didn't have to do this at all, that there wouldn't be any false teachers and we wouldn't need to be doing these sort of seminars. We'd much rather talk about that common faith.

However, we too are pressured to do so. And so let's begin. We're going to work our way through. And unfortunately, I didn't number each of these. I probably should have, but this is the first of them.

And I'll say it's the first and forget the rest of the numbers because I won't remember. But I could give you the full 28 that we'll have in these slides. But the first one we see in verse 4 is that they creep into the church unannounced.

For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were designated for this condemnation. Ungodly people. Well, we'll get to the rest of that in a bit. So first thing we see is that they slip in stealthily.

That's what we see in this Greek, how they crept in unnoticed. It means that they slipped in stealthily. Nobody wakes up and says, I want to be a false teacher today. No, they slowly are deceived or deceiving.

You have to remember something about false teachers. They are likable people. If they're not likable people, they don't get followers. People follow the truth, and they'll follow someone who stambers and stutters and just can't get words out.

They will follow someone like that if they're preaching the truth because that person is more interested in the truth. But someone who's not likable is not going to get an audience if they're not teaching truth.

And that's the thing you have to recognize about false teachers. They are likable people. And because of that, they slip in stealthily. They slip in and become something where people just look at them and like, well, I like them.

You know, we already spoke about Francis Chan. Justin brought that up. Francis Chan, graduate from Master's Seminary, one of the best seminaries in the world that we know of. Master's Seminary grad now promotes the Roman Catholic Church.

We're going to show that. He's not only promoting Benny Hinn and Todd White. He now promotes Roman Catholic doctrines. We're going to see that in a little bit. What you end up seeing is why is it that people sit there and still defend him?

For a very simple reason, they like him. Why is it that Francis Chan is promoting Benny Hinn and Todd White? Well, he already says why. Because he likes them. He got to meet these people. He meets Bill Johnson and likes him.

But just because you like someone doesn't mean they're teaching truth. And just because you like them doesn't mean you don't call them out. One of the things that I appreciate is men in my life who just because we're friends and they like me, that doesn't mean they won't call me out.

In fact, this is a known thing that I say all the time. But to get to be a board member at Striving for Eternity, there's two things you must do. One, you have to have a heart for the ministry. But two, you have to have displayed a willingness to correct me.

In other words, we don't want people on our board that just say, well, I like Andrew. I don't want to say anything. No, I take that so serious that I want people around me that will correct me. It's one of the things I love about Justin.

I know that if I step out of line, Justin is going to be one of the first people to call me up and let me know that. I surround myself with people that are willing to confront me because I want to be more like Christ and I need that.

Maybe some of you guys don't need as much as I need, but I need a lot of it. And so that's the thing is what you see is these people are likable. That's how they slip in. You have the Beth Moores. Beth Moore used to be a conservative.

Now she hangs out with Word of Faith. She's talking about dreams all the time. You already saw that in Justin's earlier talk this morning where Justin's showing the clips where she is no longer wanting to say the word of God is enough for her.

We're going to see that even more in this session. But you have guys like Andy Stanley. Andy Stanley, who used his father's name and who started out as Southern Baptist conservative, he now denies the word of God.

Andy Stanley now says, well, we need to set apart the Old Testament. We need to unhitch the Old Testament from the New Testament. One of the things Andy Stanley doesn't like about the parts of the Old Testament is that it talks about things like slavery.

He doesn't like that very much. He doesn't like some of the things that are mentioned in the Old Testament. So he wants to unhitch the Old and the New. Well, Justin has mentioned many times that every book of the Bible, every book of the Bible, sorry, every book of New Testament warns against false teaching except for one.

Well, you want to know something? Every New Testament book also refers back to the Old Testament except for one. And it's the same one, Philemon. What is the topic of Philemon? Slavery. Oops, there goes Andy Stanley.

He's got nothing left. If he unhitches the Old Testament from the New, he has to remove every book of the New except for Philemon, which is the one he won't like because it talks about slavery. So he's got nothing left.

Okay. Now, here's the thing I want you to notice. As we look at this, it says, who long ago were designated for this condemnation. You recognize this. These false teachers, they do not surprise God. God is not surprised by these false teachers.

He knew these false teachers would be teaching what they do and long ago designated them for condemnation. Now, it's interesting because in the Greek air, the word designated and condemnation are definitive articles.

So that is that they long ago that who were long ago were the designated for the condemnation. And so what we see right off the bat is the fact that they creep in unnoticed. That is important to recognize because God, through Jude, is letting us know that this is something that we should expect to see, that there will be people that try to sneak into the church and end up teaching things that are, well, ungodly, as we see in both verse 4 and verse 15.

And we see here in this ungodly, we see here that they do not seek the things of God. They're always going, false teachers seek selfishness. They seek self and to please self over pleasing God. Justin already brought that out.

You're going to see a lot of overlap here because there's nothing new under the sun with these false teachers. Many of these false teachers keep to an inner circle of people. What you're going to see with false teachers is they don't want to have general, a regular contact with the congregation.

They want to have us close themselves off to the people, to the majority of the congregation. And that way they can end up having just the few who they trust and know them. They limit themselves to those few that already know the pattern of life and have no issue with it.

Those that have issue with it usually get, they get rid of them, but they're ungodly. They pervert the grace of God with sensuality. We see that in verse 4 as well. So not only were they designated for condemnation, but they are ungodly people who pervert the grace of God into sensuality.

We see this, that the word sensuality has the idea of an extreme immorality. Not just a small immorality, not something with just having a straying eye or something. No, they go to the extreme. And what they do is they take the grace of God and they pervert it into sensuality.

You can see this throughout. You could look at men like Joseph Smith who used his claiming to be a prophet and speaking for God so that he could end up having relations, supposedly having multiple marriages.

And he would marry not only women who are already married. He'll marry sisters, even if both of them are married to other people. He would even marry children. And so you have serious issues with people that take the grace of God and they pervert it for sensuality.

There's two major issues that you're going to see with false teachers, and you're going to see this repeated throughout this talk as you saw it in the last talk, is sensuality and authority. That's two areas false teachers have a consistent problem with.

I had a couple that once came to me asking, they were getting ready to get married, and they asked me a question. They wanted to know how far can we go before we get married without sinning? How far physically can we go?

And my answer to them was, you already went too far. In other words, the fact that you're asking that question, how far can we go, how close to the line can we come before it's sin? Well, asking that question exposes a desire for sensuality that's unhealthy.

And the problem with false teachers is they don't just have that desire. They push the limits of it. That's the idea here. They're pushing it to see how far they go. How far are they going to go? They're going to go to the point where they deny Jesus Christ.

You end up seeing that in verse 4. And they deny our only master and Lord, Jesus Christ. They end up denying God. This has the meaning that they disown or disregard God. They profess to be God's servants the whole time.

While they're denying the very teachings, they're denying him in their very teachings and their practice. They only give lip service to God. Justin already mentioned that you end up seeing what are they known for?

They're not known for their godliness. They're not known for their teaching about God or their teaching about the Bible. They're known for teaching about themselves. They teach things that will cause people to stray from God.

They may hold up a Bible or use it to read from. Joel Holstein, every week when he's going to hold up a Bible before service, and he's going to refer to the Bible in the beginning of service. And that's the last time in the rest of the service that he's going to use the Bible.

Everything they teach is to pull you away from the Bible, is to pull you away from God and to get you into their ministry. Why? Because they want you to put your money into their pockets. That's where it goes.

Their goal is not to help you be more like Christ. Their goal is that you would be more like their father, the devil. Don't believe me? Well, let's listen to Todd White deny the eternal deity of Jesus Christ.

And he's even going to say that people who are challenging him and they're just wrong.

And Jesus was tempted at all points. That scripture alone verifies that when he was here, he walked this out as a man. People have taken that doctrine that I just said to you, twisted it on YouTube and said that Todd White take the deity away from Jesus.

No, what you've done is you've taken what Jesus said he was away from the Bible. See, if Jesus didn't do what he did as a man, there's nothing for us to model. There's no model for us. And then we're always left with, well, that was Jesus.

No, Jesus was tempted at all points. He was tempted at points that none of us have ever been tempted at. He was tempted at all points for everyone in every area, all of it. Jesus was, and he sinned not.

He never, ever, ever, ever gave a license to his flesh to sin. Guys, are you hearing me? When it comes to the miraculous, if you don't understand this, then you can't pray for the sick. Why? Because that was Jesus.

I'm not Jesus. No, Jesus never healed the sick as God. Jesus healed the sick as a man in perfect relationship with God. Jesus was here. The Holy Spirit comes down upon Jesus, rests it upon him, and remained.

And when Jesus healed the sick, it was God through Jesus. Jesus said several times, he said, you know, if you don't believe me through the things that I say, at least believe me through the works that I do.

For it's the Father who dwells in me that does the works.

Notice what he does there. He's denying the deity of Christ. He's saying that he is saying that there's not two natures in one being. No, what he's, or in one person, what he's saying is that he's arguing here that the Father is separate from the Son, from the Spirit, and that Jesus isn't doing anything on his own.

He's doing it because the Holy Spirit is, the Father's doing it through the Holy Spirit on him. And what's he arguing? That he's doing it as a man. And as a man, what, do you hear what he's saying with this?

He's denying not only Christ, but going to the extent of saying that this, this is insane to think about, that this man, Todd White, could be sinlessly perfect the way that Jesus is sinlessly perfect.

Now, he's going to argue for his sinless perfectionism. You've already seen that this man goes on the streets deceiving people. We're going to see more with him later, but this is not a perfect man. All right.

And so what do you see? You see that they deny the deity of Christ. Verse five, we see that they, they do not believe God is capable of doing what he promises. It says in verse five, now I want to remind, I want, now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that God who saved a people out of the land of Egypt afterwards destroyed those who did not believe.

So notice who saved Israel out of Egypt. Jesus did. So who saved Egypt in the Old Testament, by the way? Yeah, God. So interesting. The very next verse, after saying that they deny the deity of Christ, the very next verse says that Jesus, who is God referred to in the Old Testament, saved Israel out of Egypt in case people don't know that Jesus was God.

There it is in the very next verse from where he says they deny the deity of Christ. So, so Jesus did this. He is the one that, that brought them out. For those who want to say that Jesus isn't God, you could find this everywhere in the gospels, everywhere in scripture, it is there.

So Jesus is credited for what God did in the Old Testament. And those who did not believe, okay, would, were the ones in verse five here that are going to be destroyed. They did not believe God was capable of doing these things.

So you have these Jewish people, they're, they, and just put yourself in the mindset here. You come up to the, to a sea. God just says, okay, let me just part the water. And you're going to walk on dry ground.

Okay, let's get millions of people across. You get across, you get, you get there, you see the, the Egyptians, they come in, they're coming in the water, they're chasing you on their chariots. And they're going like, hey, how's this water standing up here?

Wow. Okay. And then what does God do? Closes the water and they're gone. Enemy disappeared. They have no food. God is raining down bread from heaven and sitting there, the bread's coming down. And what are they doing?

They're complaining they don't have enough meat. They don't believe God can do this. They, they see the promised land and they don't believe God is going to be able to, to take them into the promised land and be able to protect them.

Are you kidding me? Did you not see all the miracles that he's done? This is what it is. This is the reference that Jude is making. These faith healers have similar claims. They claim that they can heal.

Well, you know what? I trust absolutely no faith healer that says he has an ability to heal. And there's a local hospital filled in his neighborhood. He doesn't believe himself that God is capable of doing what he claims that God is capable of doing.

Because he doesn't go to that hospital and empty it out. And it exposes that they do not believe in what they claim God's promises are, let alone the promises God actually says. You know, one of the things you can notice, I meant to put this picture in here, but I just noticed it's not in.

You never want to trust a faith healer that wears eyeglasses. I have a picture of, of Jesse Duplantis and his wife. They're reading the Bible. Both of them needed to put their glasses on to read. Never trust a faith healer that needs eyeglasses.

Okay? So I want you to note that Jude states that it was Jesus who saved the Israelites out of Egypt. Furthermore, Jude mentions that they fully knew it. Thus, in the first century, it was known that it was Jesus who must be God that brought Israelites out of Egypt.

It says that they fully knew it. So we go on and we see in the next one, and we see here that they seek a position of authority. You see in verse 6,. And the angels who did not stay in their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the day of judgment.

The angels who did not stay in their own position of authority, this is interesting as Jude expects them to understand the historical account. Now, many scholars, modern scholars, struggle with reference.

But the interesting thing is that Jude is referring to something that was understood in Judaism. And so because of the fact that as we see here in verse 6, that he is referring to something that they understand with these angels, then we would assume that Jude is confirming the teaching that we would see in Judaism, that these angels are angels that refer back to Genesis chapter 6, when it says the sons of God had relations with the daughters of men.

We don't fully understand that, but that is what was taught. And it seems that Jude is using that as an illustration of these angels that didn't keep their proper abode. And so some will think that this is referring to angels leaving heaven and coming to earth.

And some will think that this is referring to Genesis chapter 6, where you have them leaving their abode and trying to do things with men in some way, whether they're possessing human beings or not, we're not quite sure.

But these angels were seeking a position that was not theirs to have. And false teachers do the same thing. They seek a position of authority that's not theirs. They claim an authority that is God's alone, and they claim it for themselves.

They end up arguing and teaching, as you just saw a moment ago with Todd White, that they are little gods, that they could do everything Jesus could do. They will teach that they have the position that God has.

Now, if you read your Bible carefully and you go back to Genesis chapter 3, you're going to see that's exactly what Satan said to Eve. That was the exact way he deceived her. So when you look at these false teachers, just know something.

They're teaching the same doctrine that Satan taught to Eve. Scary to think about it. But that you could be like God. We see it in Mormonism. We see it in Word of Faith. We see it in NAR, New Apostolic Reformation.

We see it multiple times where some person puts himself in a position where he has the authority. We see this in the Roman Catholic Church and many other cults when they put themselves in a position where they say they alone have the authority to interpret Scripture.

When you set yourself up as the only authority that can interpret Scripture, you have just put yourself in authority above Scripture because the Scripture is meaningless without your authority to interpret it.

And so when a person or organization says that you need them for the interpretation of Scripture, they've just belittled the Scriptures and raised themselves up. And that's what you get from these teachers.

They're doing the very same thing. They're setting themselves up. They're saying you should trust them with their interpretations. And was already mentioned earlier in Justin's first talk, they will talk about their dreams to show that they're more spiritual than you.

You should trust them because they know what they're doing. That's going to be the argument they end up having. And they have this argument because of the fact that they know they must deceive you to keep you following them.

They want an authority that's not theirs. They want God's authority. Ultimately, what they want is to dethrone God and take his throne. No different than Satan wanted to do. Just so you know who their father is.

The nice thing is Justin already named names, so I don't have to worry. You can all yell at him. And he's too nice of a guy. No one will ever yell at him. Well, actually, no. They say things about him.

They just don't yell at him. Verse 7, we see a series of things here. First, they indulge in sexual immorality. In verse 7, you end up seeing it says, just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities likewise, they indulge in sexual immorality.

Sodom and Gomorrah is now an example. So you see that Jude is going through a lot of history with the Israelites, things that the Israelites would know, things that they would be aware of. And he's turning to them and saying, you understand Sodom and Gomorrah.

This is an example he's using for teaching. The many things they did in these towns around them, how wicked they were, how sinful they were. And Jude uses them as an example of this false teaching. These towns were an example that caused an extreme judgment because of their homosexuality.

Their sexual perversion was so bad that God destroyed the cities in a supernatural way. Just as Jude used these angels in a previous example, an example of eternal punishment, so here we see the same eternal punishment for this sin.

The Greek word that we end up seeing here means to commit fornication. So this is the third time now that we have seen the issue of an eternal condemnation being mentioned. This term that is used here for sexual immorality, it refers to one that is given over to homosexuality.

That's what this word refers to. And so as our culture is promoting homosexuality, you end up seeing people who are in solid churches. It was already mentioned, some of the questions that came in, we'll probably get to it in Q &A, was Matt Chandler.

And people are saying, has Matt Chandler gone bad? Well, Matt Chandler has gone what's called woke. If you understand social justice, you understand that. But what is woke? Well, being woke is that you're woke to the injustices of people.

And here's the progression you end up seeing. People who want to fight for injustices, and then the first thing they're going to do is they're going to fight for women's rights, and they're going to say, we have to be egalitarian, not complementarian.

The difference there being complementarians believe that there's a complement between men and women. So there are certain roles that God has given to men that he hasn't given to women, and women that he hasn't given to men.

Motherhood, men don't give birth, but men are to lead and teach in the churches. That is a difference. Egalitarian says, no, it's all the same, everyone's equal. I'm still waiting to watch the men give birth.

Yeah, I understand the women who call themselves men are claiming to give birth, but that's still a woman, okay, that's giving birth. And so what do you see here? What they end up doing is after they go egalitarian, then they go the next step of promoting homosexuality.

We're seeing this over and over and over again. But this is even worse. These false teachers indulge in it. They partake of it. Now, do they always partake in homosexuality? No, the word means commit fornication, but it does have the sense, and it is used to refer, especially in the context with Sodom and Gomorrah, to homosexuality.

So what you end up seeing here is that they are perverse in their sexual immorality. Not only that, but they pursue unnatural desires. Again, in verse 7, you see that. It says that Justice Sodom and Gomorrah and their surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desires, serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

This word unnatural desires is a reference to homosexuality. Let's hear from TJ Jakes on him explaining his evolution on homosexuality.

A question coming in from Black185 in our digital community said, do you think, I'm assuming, the LGBT community and the black church can coexist? Absolutely. Let me push that question because that's sort of an obvious yes.

Church ain't turning nobody away. How should the black church and LGBT community exist?

I think it's going to be diverse from church to church. Every church has a different opinion on the issue, and every gay person is different. And I think that to speak the church, the black church or white church or any kind of church you want to call it, are all the same is totally, totally not true.

And all gay people are not the same. The types of relationships that are afforded are based on the types of people in each individual case. And LGBTs of all types and sorts have to find a household of worship that reflects what your views are and what you believe like anybody else.

And the church should have the right to have its own convictions and values. If you don't like those convictions and values, you totally disagree with it, don't try to change my house, move into your own and establish that sort of thing and find somebody who gets what you get about faith.

And trust me, I've talked to enough LGBT, they are not all the same. Oh, for sure. No, no.

But how do we, first of all, is your thinking evolved on this? Evolved and evolving.

So he's evolved and evolving. Now this man calls himself a bishop. He says, hey, it's okay for us to do what we want in our house. Just don't, you know, don't try to come into our house and change. And yet here's the thing.

What are they doing? Exactly that. He wants to say that churches can be accepting homosexuality. You know what he's not doing? He's saying what does God say. As you end up looking at the rest of that video, the guy interviewing kind of presses.

The guy from The Huffington Post is going to press him a bit. And he just keeps waffling. No, the reality is that the guy doing the interview understands better what the Bible says than T .J. Jakes does because T .J. Jakes is not appealing to the Bible and what the Bible says.

He's appealing to the emotion of the person who practices homosexuality. He's more concerned with the person and what the person feels and thinks than he is with what God feels and thinks. And that's why T .J. Jakes would be a false teacher because it's more about self.

He wants to feel better about these people and not ruffle their feathers. But the reality is when they come in and want to change the word of God, they are coming into our house. And men like T .J. Jakes says, hey, just stay out of our house.

You go to the house that accepts you. Well, the reality is they're in the house when you teach these sort of things. They end up having these kind of things. And people like this are going to go soft on this.

And you're hearing he's evolved and evolving. Why? Because he's working it out. But people like this often work it out and then end up getting into it. Let's talk about this. We talked about this a little bit.
