Notes: Scriptures & Examples Mentioned in this Study.
I. Open.
Depart from the faith. Lit. Apostate
Apostasy: Willful opposition to established system of authority. Abandoning spiritual truth.
II. Body.
1. Surprised: V1A (Don't be!)
Deuteronomy 13:1-5 Moses.
2 Chronicles 26:16-21 King Uzziah.
John 6:63-68 Jesus.
Acts 4 Luke.
1 John 2:18-19 John.
2 John 1:7-11
2 Peter 2:1-3 Peter.
1 Timothy 1:19-20 Paul.
2. Source: V1B (Evil Demons)
a. Leviticus 18:21
b. Deuteronomy 32:17-18
c. 1 Corinthians 10:20-21
3. Seared: V2 Cauterize: To deaden to feelings and moral scruples.
4. Substitute: V4
a. Forbid marriage.
b. Abstain from eating meat.
Asceticism: The belief that self denial releases the soul from bondage to the body & brings us closer to the divine is NOT a Christian belief. We are saved fully from the bondage of sin by the work of Jesus on the cross & not by our actions regarding the self denial of the blessings of God's creation & design for us.
5. SMILE: V5 God created marriage & food. For us to enjoy!
a. Marriage:
Genesis 2:18
Genesis 2:24
Proverbs 19:14
Hebrews 13:4
Proverbs 18:22
1 Corinthians 7:2-3,5
b. Food:
1 Corinthians 10:25-26
III. Close.
*Don't be surprised when people fall away. Some always have. Remember the source of temptation is the Evil one. They are dead to feelings & do not care for others. They substitute human action for the salvation offered by Christ & deny people the blessings of God. Smile, because the Lord loves you & has good gifts for His people!
