By John Stenen When I was in Bible school forty-six years ago, two of my professors had attended two different seminaries for several years and claimed that they primarily were taught how to complicate the Bible. Fortunately, they got back on the straight and narrow path and got their heads screwed on straight where the Bible is concerned and were great teachers. The same problem was happening in the Church at Corinth which Paul had founded. If anyone knew the Bible, it was Paul; he tells us in Galatians 1:10-12 that the gospel was given to him by Jesus Christ Himself. False teachers had come to Corinth and started bringing in false doctrine, deceiving them from the simplicity of the gospel. Soon, these false teachers were presenting another Jesus, a different Holy Spirit, and a different gospel. Paul also warned us in Acts 20:26-32 that false teachers would arise even among the Christians. What I am trying to get across to you is this: Get into your Bible, read it, study it thoroughly, and pray over it. We cannot be deceived if we rely on the Holy Spirit to teach us,- it is one of His jobs. God bless.
