Let's try to highlight some of the beliefs of the average false-christian followed by a Bible verse or two that they need to tear out of their Bible to be comfortable. Of course some of them just get a new re-designed "bible" and that works for them just about as well.
I understand that the false-christians have verses that they think support what they believe. If there weren't verses like that then there wouldn't be so many false-christians would there?
2Pet 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
They believe that grace means there is nothing that they need to obey to be saved.
2Thess 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
They believe that the Bible teaches a group of god persons but it is still monotheism if the gods get along real well with one another.
Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
They believe that one of their gods sits on the right hand of one of their other gods.
Isa 45:5 ¶I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isa 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
They believe that the "let us" in Genesis supports their polytheism (but will then immediately deny being polytheistic). Oopsie the next verse says "he created" rather than "they created", but refers to Adam and Eve as "them".
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
They claim to be believers while advocating disobediance of what the Apostles preached and practiced, while the Bible is quite clear that a non-obeyer is really a non-believer.
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
They show open hatred for the truth and preachers of truth while making great swelling claims about their love of Christ.
Mark 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
They quote from the epistles to defend their false-christianity in total denial of the fact that the epistles are letters to people who had obeyed Acts 2:38 and were known for obedience.
Rom 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Rom 1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
They claim to believe on Jesus while rejecting water baptism in the Name of Jesus. In the Bible people understood that to believe on Jesus included being baptised in Jesus Name.
Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
They teach that someone receives the Holy Ghost when they claim to believe in Jesus.
Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
They believe that some Bible verses are to be chanted rather than obeyed (like Matt 28:19)
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
They believe that calling on the Name of the Lord means hollering the word "Jesus". (Their doctrine would automatically save a lot of drunks hugging toilets calling on Jesus and Ralph, eh?)
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
They teach that in Acts 2:38 "for the remission of sins" means "because of" rather than for the purpose of.
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
They think that whatever you believe it is going to be OK because grace means that we don't need to do anything, no salvation plan to obey, nothing notta zip.... (Good thing Noah didn't believe such junk)
Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
They teach that there are three separate persons in a Roman god squad and that Jesus is just one member.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
They teach that Jesus is a second person of a trinity and is not really The Lord of Glory and that Jesus is not really God the Father.
1 Cor 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
They teach that it is OK to continue living in diverse sin because it is somehow covered in advance by their claim to believe. Their example is something about how their false preacher puts on his pants or something and sins every day so you should too.
1John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1Pet 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
They think that they can be saved without obeying Acts 2:38.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Some of them think that baptism does not mean full immersion and some of the duller ones teach that baptism doesn't even involve water.
Acts 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
They don't believe that Jesus is really Almighty God.
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
They believe that idolatry is OK as long as they are sincere and God knows their heart. They just know in their heart that they are saved regardless of what mean old Bible verses say.
Prov 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
It would be impossible to address all of the foolishness and error of false-christianity today in one post as they are some busy beavers when it comes to doctrines of devils.
2Tim 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
I hope this helps...
