"Privily"? What False Teachers Do Part 1

READ THIS MORE INFO FOR MORE INFO:

2 Peter 2:1, 1:20

This video deals with how false teachers PRIVILY SHALL BRING IN damnable heresies.

Two features stand out. First, that the Greek word that is translated "privily shall bring in" is pareisago, from para + eisago, which together have a rich range of meanings. It could mean everything from:

to bring in along with/alongside [what is written, Scripture]
to introduce things beyond [what is written, Scripture]
to bring in things that are proximal [to the truth, i.e. counterfeit]

Also, to LEAD Christians into things that are near yet opposed, or beyond and therefore opposed [to what is written], and to do so by means of the introduction of writings, teachings, or other materials (videos) that they associate with the Bible as of EQUAL (or greater) PRACTICAL AUTHORITY.

This is very instructive as to what false teachers today do among Christians. They always seem to bring in something additional, something BESIDE the truth that is a counterfeit presenting itself as if it were the same as the truth or more of the truth but which ultimately is OPPOSED to the truth (ANTI-CHRIST). As mentioned, it 'appears' near enough to the truth as to be regarded by many as a helpful CLARIFICATION or EXPANSION on the truth. Those who are babes (this means unskilful in the Scriptures therefore weak in discernment according to Heb 5:11-14) OR SEEKERS are liable to be deceived by it. But it is deadly poison! The Lord calls these "damnable heresies" which means those who believe these works of the flesh (Gal 5:19-21) may indeed be found condemned on the last day. How? Because in the end, damnable heresies result in "denying the Lord that bought you", and this will result in a person being cast into the Lake of fire (John 3:18,36).

Damnable heresies make a person trust in themselves and their own righteousness, rather than in Christ alone.

Linking this with 1 Peter 1:20, we find that false teachers style themselves prophets, and their heresies as prophecy. This is necessary because anything other than prophecy could not be brought in "privily" in the sense that it could not be brought in 'alongside' Scripture because only prophecy has the same authority as Scripture--only prophecy is "of the Scripture" (1 Peter 1:20).

That is why all the false teachers either openly call themselves prophets or describe their authority in terms that could equally describe the authority of the prophet.

JW's have their Governing Body and so-called 'inspired literature'--companion literature to help you understand the Bible. It is "brought in alongside" the Scripture.

Mormons were started by a self-styled prophet who brought in his own book alongside the Scriptures.

Muslims were started by a self-styled prophet who brought in his own book alongside the Scriptures, with only superficial differences from the cults.

Catholic church which adds to the Bible its own tradition which it claims is inspired and necessary for salvation. Since this is a claim to divine authority, the church calls itself, in certain configurations of its hierarchy, a prophet.

Seventh Day Adventists bring in, along with, near to, and beyond the Bible the visions and prophesies of Ellen G. White, a self-styled prophetess, as well as all her writings.

Even the little cults of today like yahsladynred, a self-styled prophet who brings in the falsely so-called "lost books of the Bible" and her own prophesies. Finalcall07 who calls himself a prophet brings in along with, near to, and beyond the Scriptures his communications with a spirit that he calls 'Jesus'. And of course Timothy with his letters from God is just the same. If his letters were from God, Timothy would be a prophet, and they would have the authority of Scripture....so he is BRINGING these letters that bear a NEAR resemblance to Biblical language IN alongside the Word of Truth....pareisago....privily...and that is one major way that poisonous deception gets a foothold in the Church.

Note: when I say that these prophesies are 'near to' the Bible I mean it in the sense of a counterfeit. A counterfeit APPEARS similar or virtually identical to the true but is in fact as different as different can be in terms of actual worth. It is judged not by its resemblance to the truth, but by its difference, as the Scripture says, "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump" (Gal 5:9, 1 Cor 5:6b).

"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." John 7:24

"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: 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." Rev 22:18-19

God bless you.

Re:@3:37---The Catholic Church had Church Tradition (we call it Sacred Tradition) before the bible was put together.

[Enoch2]

@TheChurchAuthentic The Scripture is given by inspiration of God through holy apostles and prophets and in these last days God's Son--it is the foundation of the church (Eph 2:20, 3:4-5).

Consider Gal 3:8, which says the SCRIPTURE preached the Gospel unto Abraham. But Abraham didn't have the Scripture written down, the LORD Himself spoke to him. So what the LORD speaks, Scripture speaks. Therefore it is not preceded by anything and all traditions must be tried by it.

Thanks for the video. I suggest going to the English. I mean investigating how a word was/is used in English in the 17th century. Take 'privily'. In 'Shakespeare's Words' by David Crystal (a listing of thousands of his usages) it has the following:

privily (adv) secretly, privately, stealthily. King Lear III.iii.13 [Gloucester to Edmund, of Lear] "I will look him and privily relieve him."

I believe this kind of information is more helpful and clearer than Greek etymology. Thanks.

[Enoch2]

@Jimfw714 It's not etymology, it's separating a compound word into its two simple parts, like understanding 'undiscovered' by looking at it as 'un-' and 'discovered'.

[Enoch2]

@Jimfw714 If you did as you recommend, you'd miss the depth of insight into the way false teachers work provided by the word pareisago. Similarly, if you use only Greek you would miss the wonderful connection between private in 1 Peter 1:20 and privily in 2 Peter 2:1...these are different Greek words but forms of the same English word! Excessive dogmatism opposes faith and makes one rigid rather than making one at liberty (Gal 5:1).

[edwardpf123]

My dear brother you are on dangerous ground! You cannot appeal to the etemology of a greek word for it's meaning. Meaning is determined by usage. The method by which heretics sneak in their heresies may often be alongside truth, but the manner by which they do so is secretly and that is what the verse is pointing out. You are in fact, making a private interpretation of the verse by changing the meaning of the English word. Also, the 1881 version was the Revised version (W/H)

[Enoch2]

@ed123 I think you can appeal to the etymology of the word for its meaning b/c (I believe) meaning is inherent in word and it's not men who give words their meanings but God (Gen 11:7,9)--and God inspired words acc. to their true meanings. These meanings can only be twisted by corrupt usage of men, not disconnected from their root. (I've been understanding English words by etymology all my life)

Thank you for caring enough to write and I'll take heed to myself, and to the doctrine.

COOL BIBLE ! MAN, I would love to purchase a congressional Bible ! Ya The Church is being infiltrated by the esoteric cults .

[FoundthePearl1]

Great video, off to watch part 2 :-)

[GreggDuncanMcLean1]

those are the new relvelations supposely being given to a small select group of super christians having an almost 24/7 direct pipeline to the Lord with visions, dreams and audio voiced prayer from the Lord.stating all these things and there coming to us to warn so we might repent...Finalcall07, Operationsouls, RevBetsy, Warnthepeople, Kaykane, !onetheone, there all one in their doctine but their doctrine is false ensarning the weak n new to the faith nto their cross n shedbloodless messages

[GreggDuncanMcLean1]

I'm very weary of anyone making a video stating.....The Lord told me this or the Lord spoke to me last night.....usualy in a dream or vision of thru personal prayer then go on to give us their private interpretation of the dream giving us new revelation or should I have said suppose new revelation often going against the written scriptures in attacking the Bible is some way seekin to dimish its power, thruthfulness and authority as well as all pastors n churches being evil n our need to leave em
