I am currently reading through 2 Peter. I invite you to open your Bible and read along with me or find it online here.
2 Peter 2
1 But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves.
2 Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered.
False. For those of you that were confused (like me) the first time you came across the word heresy, it is an opinion or belief that is contrary to what the church teaches. Peter spent the first section of this letter (chapter 1) encouraging these Jesus followers to continue growing in their faith and stand firm in what they had been taught ... now you know why. It is the same reason I keep encouraging you to be reading/studying God’s Word on a daily basis ... so your journey can continue on “the way of truth”.
