For many of these heretics, God takes a backseat to their pride believing they were chosen on what has to be some form of merit on their part, though weak attempts of false modesty are sometimes made.
Its an exact replication of what israel did that brought their destruction when the false prophets began telling them lies about their chosen state
“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. And many shall follow their pernicious ways;
by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”
2 Peter 2:1-2 KJV
Peter is referring to the false prophets who led the people astray saying “ Gods warnings will never come to pass your chosen eat and drink and be merry no evil will ever come to us we’re the chosen isreal”
It’s happening now also
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. ( hypergrace the chosen idea , no matter if you do evil or good doesn’t matter you’ll never be punished like he said )
For
who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and
hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But
if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
I have heard what the prophets said, that
prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; which think to cause my people to forget my name by
Therefore,
behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and
cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 23:16-18, 21-22, 25-27, 30-32 KJV
The New Testament has the same issue whenever anyone is insisting that Jesus words aren’t the right words for you to hear and believe , it’s because they are trying to get you away from his word and tell you thier word
when people take the bait and buy into false doctrine with thier teeth it really can damage thier potential faith in the future and lead people astray just like it did then and Peter told us would happen in our time
And many shall follow their pernicious ways;
by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”
Ots always been that man needs to accept what God said and believe it from Adam to the last man ever born so satans only plot is to get a person to reject what god said and accept his lie
this is the only way he can destroy anyone he must convince us that Jesus isn’t the right way , the fospemnosnt what he said , his words aren’t for us we have grace which means we don’t have to obey God ect ect
otherwise we’re going to know the truth and recognize his lies
