Jesus says: Beware of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

Matthew 16:5-7  And when HIS disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.  Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.  And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

 

11  Jesus says:  How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
 
12 Then understood they how that HE bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

 

Jesus says this is a sign of the end times:

 

Mt. 24:3-5   And as HE sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto HIM privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

 

(These deceivers will come into the church saying, "Jesus is Lord", and because they say that, the church will accept them.  Then they will deceive many in the church."

 

 

Paul instructs Timothy:

 

2 Tim. 4:2-4   Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

 

The apostle Paul says:  The churches will fall away from scripture and the man of sin, antichrist, will come into the churches and set up his own doctrine, casting aside the doctrine of Christ of the NT Bible.

 

2 Thess. 2:3-4  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

 

In 1982, God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the churches.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scripture."

 

Antichrist is in today's church groups as they have omitted certain scriptures and set up doctrines of men for their congregations to follow.  This has been going on since Paul and John lived on the earth, but it is much worse now and will continue to get worse and worse, until Jesus comes to deal with antichrist.
