In 3 John we learned how to deal with someone teaching false doctrine. How do you respond to teachings that contradict Scripture?
-
I currently do not respond or gently disagree.
-
We must always turn to scripture to identify false teaching – false teaching must be addressed in love.
-
I use my Bible to show them in love what the Bible really says about a subject. In fact I had someone ask me to give her a Bible reference so that she can confront a false teaching
-
I use Scripture to show where and how that teaching contradicts Scripture. When we are confronting false teachings we cannot do it in a combative way but in love.
-
In the past, more so than now, I would argue against false teachings without responding in love. As I grow in the Lord, I am trying not to just point out the errors through aggressive behavior without love but rather share the “truth in love”.
