A glaring example which is fresh in everyone's mind in the Pope's visit and the things he has said and done. In the past the Pope has said that he believes in the Big Bang and Evolution. He has also taken up the banner of "climate change". But it is not just the Pope and the Catholic Church which persist in error even after they have received the truth. There are thousands (perhaps hundreds of thousands) who read the Bible but then come up with their own fantasies regarding what it says such as (a) there are two creation accounts, (b) Adam and Eve were not real historical people, (c) there was a creation before creation, etc. Then there are the Atheists who say there is no God, but deliberately fail to see a connection between Creation and the Creator. One of the things which Christians must constantly guard against is to persist in error even after the truth is presented. There are a host of Scriptures which plainly reveal that Jesus is God, yet you will find people ignoring them or denying their significance. We should always remember that if we choose darkness over light, we will receive more darkness. That is why there are so many blind leading the blind. And you know where they end up.

For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfact to the end, while it is said:"Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

It is sad because these kinds are hard to persuade or even teach because they are close minded as they believe they have the truth so they become unapproachable as they have built a wall around themselves. Everyone else is wrong and they are one of the few left standing who have the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to remain in the truth and not be lead astray by these type of people we are to leave them alone or else by following their doctrines we ourselves will be lead into a ditch because their is no light to show us the way in their teaching for it is only man made doctrine and not the gospel of Jesus Christ in which the apostle Paul taught in scripture in which he recieved from God by revelation of Jesus Christ.
