Christians, Is it better to allow our brothers and sisters in Christ to teach false doctrine, than to do?

Question

as the Bible commands and correct them?

Would it count as a sin against them if you did nothing while your brothers and sisters in Christ persisted in a lie from the devil?

Would you be accountable for their souls?

Answer 1

James 5:19,20; Correct any who err from the truth.
Philip.2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Philip.2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Philip.2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Philip.2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philip.2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: Philip.2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Philip.2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.Philip.2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Heb.9:27; All men Judged. 2Cor.5:10; Rom.14:9-12; All answer for self. 1Cor.15:22-28;51-53; All have a chance to answer for self. Rev.20:1-6,12,13;

Answer 2

Some people are not at an evolutionary stage to understand the sublime life of living for perfection. It is not possible to convince the one who refuses to believe, because they are set against it. There are many people out there seeking the truth. These are the people who ask and are eager to learn. These are the ones that will understand. People who refuse to change their lives in this existence, will inevitably be reincarnated and try again. You, or anyone else is never accountable for the soul of another. When people begin to take responsibility for their lives, they will see the correct path. All we can do is live our own lives as good examples to others.

Answer 3

I think that you are responsible to tell the person that you think they are teaching false doctrine. If you tell them then you are no longer accountable. If you allow them to teach false things then you are being a stumbling block for them because not saying anything is the same as agreeing with them they might not know that what they are teaching is false. If you do know then you are requred to tell them.

19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets

Answer 4

Beyond telling them that they are teaching false doctrine, there's very little else you can do. I would pray and let God deal with the person. You wouldn't be accountable unless God specifically spoke to you regarding that one person, and you chose to turn your back on him or her.

Some people think it's their calling and life's mission to expose what they think is false doctrine. I've seen major excesses in these types of "ministries". They start off exposing obvious false doctrines and preachers. But, then they start attacking valid men/women of God. In other words, they start attacking true Christians. And when this happens, not only are you now becoming a tool of Satan. They are now misleading Christians themselves. They become exactly what they sought out to expose.

Answer 5

That's a very good question. Most people won't speak up . Their afraid of being accused of judging. I think it is your duty to correct them. If you have proof that they are teaching lies. If not you may not be held accountable for their souls, but you will give an account of why you disobeyed God and said nothing. I hope this helps. God Bless You.

Answer 6

We have four Gospels telling us what we as Christian are suppose to be doing, spreading the gospel (good news). We are not responsible for their belief (see Gospel of John) nor are we responsible for miscommunication. We are responsible for spread the Christian message.

Clearly by your question, you need to be reminded of 1 Cor 10:23-24. So let's start there. And you also need to be reminded of whose Church this is. One last point, God not man judges.

I can not understand why someone with so little understanding is asking this type of question. We are not responsible for anyone else.

Answer 7

I agree with you wholly....

I don't know why some Christians believe in Christ if they are not going to do as he commanded them.

Why say you believe, when you don't?

This is Christ's admonition: " Why do you call me Lord and not
do as I have said".

He also admonished us: " Be not only hearers of the Word, but doers of the Word".

Answer 8

Do what the Bible says

Answer 9

i'm uncertain what you advise by "being stored with large subject". a number of what you have listed are truly merely denominations extremely than sects. there is no longer something in scripture that prohibits Christians and church homes from networking with each and each. additionally, denominations variety customarily on secondary concerns inclusive of church corporation and liturgy extremely than center doctrine. in addition to, Christians of denominations do no longer carry that one would desire to be a member of a particular denomination to be stored and to be a baby of God. we are all one in Christ in spite of the place we worship. Galatians 3:26-28. Sects--in a nutshell--reject orthodox Christian center doctrine. they might deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, instruct salvation by works or of entirety by works, that one would desire to belong to the sect to be stored, claims of completely being the "genuine" church (the solid information is inclusive, no longer unique), claims of having a monopoly on the Bible, inflexible way of life regulations, salvation by regulation, and others. The enemy's poison is frequently disguised as piety, and the concept we are against Christ by being a member of a denomination church is each and each piece as inspired by hierarchical questioning, self-interest, and delight as is the declare that one would desire to belong to a particular team to be stored. All of humanity misses the mark. that's an excellent element of the element interior the Gospel. Our solid information is that salvation is a unfastened present of God out of His love for the international which we acquire by way of faith in Christ Jesus. we've all been "anti-Christ" ********** Romans 3:10-12 (NIV 1984) as that's written: “there isn't any one righteous, no longer even one; there isn't any one that is conscious, no person that seeks God. All have became away, they have mutually grow to be valueless; there isn't any one that does solid, no longer even one.” ********** If humanity had on no account became against God, then why did Jesus die on the pass? If we, by our very own goodness and solid deeds, could be stored, then why did Jesus die on the pass? it is not we who stain Christ by our touch with Him yet extremely Christ who washes us clean of all unrighteousness in His touch with us. Peace be with you.
