False doctrines are a lie
Believing a lie is sin.
2Th 2:10-13
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Exo 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Joh 8:31-32
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Rev 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Totally agree , I was saying that nice they reject the gospel whatever they end up believing to be true , is a lie.
i was totally agreeing with you just explaining why I think that.
If you think about it since Eden the only way Satan can do anything to mankind is if he can convince them that what God said is true and will be …..isn’t true but what he’s saying is actually true so we should listen instead to him
This is what led mankind astray and still does today satan really is the first spreader of false doctrine about the fruit , the object of life or death . Same thing with the gospel it’s life to believers and damnation to those who reject it . But my point is Satan o my has one way to attack a person and the field of battle is Gods word and what he actually said about life and death like this
“And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Genesis 2:15-17 KJV
If they simply believe God and live according to that belief he’s given them they will live in Eden with him having free access to the tree of life in the garden where God placed them with himself.
But if I’m an enemy and want to kill man , I now know how to do it , if I can get them to believe the fruit won’t harm then but God is actually just keeping it from them because he doesn’t want them to become like gods ….then they will eat the fruit because I changed thier belief of what is true from Gods word “ you’ll surely die “ to this word whoch claims ( without saying it ) God lied to you it wont harm you it will make you wise “
so the result is
“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Genesis 3:4-6 KJV
If they would have believed what god said , the truth about the fruit , they would have lived among and freely eating from the tree of life in Eden but the truth is mankind operates and acts upon what it is we truly do believe in our hearts .
they believed the serpent when he said “ you will not surely die !” ( as God told them ) but it will make you as gods “
Its the first false doctrine that pulled man away from the true tree of life that’s always been before us
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
Matthew 4:4 KJV
abut then for a time we became wicked and blinded by the corruption of our hearts and wouldn’t hear but now the gospel has come the tree of lasting life for those already condemned to die because we sinned as they did in Eden. Now we have his word of life again offered freely to all he’s told us again how to live together with him forever but will we hear it and believe ?
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24
Powerful in man’s heart to change our root issues that cause us to sin
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12 KJV
We even have a recorded written version so men could know and share his words of life
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
2 Timothy 3:16 KJV
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
Matthew 24:35
“so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:11 KJV
“Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.”
Proverbs 30:5
If we could hear that and believe it would change us for the better
