PETER 2nd 2:2 C. H. Cayce “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” There were false prophets among the people during the prophetic dispensation. So, in the gospel dispensation there are false teachers among us. Some of the false prophets were Israelites, of God’s chosen people as a nation. So, some false teachers, some who are God’s children, teach false doctrine, and deny the Lord that bought them. “There shall be false teachers among you. They will rise up in the church and will “draw away disciples after them.” They deny the Lord that bought them in the false doctrines they teach. They bring upon themselves swift destruction. Sooner or later they are cut off from the fellowship and communion of the true followers of our Lord and Master. They are cut off from the church, and lose the fellowship and love the brethren once had for them. They are cast out, as the unprofitable servant. They are thus destroyed, and they bring it all upon themselves. They have no one to blame but themselves, for they “bring upon themselves swift destruction” by their false teaching. This truth uttered by the apostle has been abundantly exemplified during the past few years, and we fear there are others. Lord, help us all to contend for the right way, that we may never lose the fellowship and love of our brethren. C. H. C.
