Masters of the Flattery-Sons

When the water rose above my knees, I took my flesh and I threw it to the sea. My darling I'm drowning in disbelief. Fire and brimstone is what they preached to me, but I see the fire they couldn't reach. With their hands outstretched every one of them was making amends with God, but the fire wasn't hot enough and now you're burning alive. Get your kicks while you can. We are the masters of the flattery for every man; Handing habits to the free and taking all that we can. I can't believe in this, not even if I try as hard as I can. I'll be the judge of who's wrong and who's right and who's rightfully damned. Don't play me like a member of your congregation. You're just as crooked as this "Christian" nation. Wait I have made a mistake. Take me back for Heaven's sake. I have found myself alone. Grace, you have made me a saint. How could you not know my name? I was lied to all along.

Sadly, there are many "preachers" who spread lies about God, the Bible, and the Gospel. They lie to the many people who listen to them. They use whatever tactics they can to persuade people that what they spew id the truth, but they are deceivers. Unfortunately, many people turn away from Jesus after seeing these false teachers for what they really are: workers of Satan.

Jude warns us to be on guard against these people in verse 16:
These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage. Keep Yourselves in the Love of God

As followers of Christ, we must know His word and surround ourselves with those who seek truth. The best thing we can do for those who have been hurt by false teachers  is to love them and show them grace. Let us never be that person who compromises the truth of God's word.
