- LUTHER, MARTIN 1483-1546
"Christ's Warnings Of False Prophets"
"We must boldly consider the two kinds of doctrine, the true and good, and the false and
erroneous, and that they will always accompany each other, for thus it has been from the
beginning, and thus it will continue to the end of the world. Hence it will not do for us to creep
along in silence, and resort to a safe and secure manner of life. The evil teachings of men and the
doctrines of devils, and all our enemies oppose us without ceasing, and hence we dare not think
that the issue is settled."

Because of the many religious bodies existing in the world today, people are easily confused about
how to differentiate them. But when you think about it, there are really only two religions in the
world: the religion of divine accomplishment-- that God in Christ accomplished salvation apart
from any effort of man--and the religion of human achievement--that men attain to salvation by
something they do. The religion of divine accomplishment is the Christian gospel. Every other
religion in the world in one way or another fits into the category of human achievement. Wherever
false doctrine strikes a blow at the gospel, it will purport that man in and of himself can please
God.

Sermon 6 - How To Survive In The Last Days Of
Apostasy
"That evil has been around since the beginning of time, and it's still here. It is the abandoning of
truth. It is not to be confused with mere indifference to the Word, for it involves an intellectual
acceptance of the Scriptures. Neither is apostasy to be confused with error. It is not necessarily
believing false doctrine. An apostate can acknowledge that certain doctrines are true, but fail to
believe them in his heart. An apostate can acknowledge Christ without accepting Him. On the
other hand, a true Christian could fall into doctrinal error, but that's not apostasy. Apostates have
received light but not life. They have known and accepted the written Word, but have never met
Christ, the Living Word. You probably know some people like that. There are people in the
church who come all the time and know the truth, but have never acted upon it. Apostasy is a
deliberate rejection of the the truth after it is known. Hence, it is the most damnable sin of
all."
- RYLE, J.C. 1816-1900
"Pharisees And Sadducees"
"The danger of which He warns them is false doctrine. He says nothing about the sword of
persecution, or the love of money, or the love of pleasure. All these things no doubt were perils
and snares to which the souls of the Apostles were exposed; but against these things our Lord
raises no warning voice here. His warning is confined to one single point: "The yeast of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees." We are not left to conjecture what our Lord meant by that word
"yeast." The Holy Spirit, a few verses after the very text on which I am now dwelling, tells us
plainly that by yeast was meant the "doctrine" of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees."
