BE CAREFUL WITH THE FALSE GOSPEL!
A GOSPEL THAT DOES NOT CONFIRM SIN AND REQUIRE RESIGNATION IS NOT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS!
GALATIANS 1: 6-24
The inconstancy of the Galatians - Paul vindicates the divine authority of his apostolate and doctrine
6 I am amazed that you would so quickly pass from him who called you to the grace of Christ for another gospel;
7 Which is none other, but there are some who worry you and want to upset the gospel of Christ.
8 But even if we ourselves or an angel from heaven announce another gospel to you in addition to what I have already announced to you, let it be anathema.
9 So, as we have already told you, now I say it again. If someone announces another gospel to you than what you have already received, be anathema.
10 Why, now do I persuade men or God? Or seek to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 But I tell you, brethren, that the gospel that was preached by me is not according to men.
12 For I did not receive it, nor did I learn it from any man, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For you have heard of my conduct in Judaism in the past, how I persecuted the church of God and devastated it.
14 And in my nation I exceeded many of my age in Judaism, being extremely zealous for my parents' traditions.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that he might preach among the Gentiles, I have not consulted the flesh nor the blood,
17 Nor did I return to Jerusalem, to those who were apostles before me, but I left for Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18 Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and stayed with him for fifteen days.
19 And I saw none of the apostles but James, the Lord's brother.
20 Now concerning what I write to you, behold, I testify before God that I do not lie.
21 Then I went to parts of Syria and Cilicia.
22 And he was not known by sight to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ;
23 But they had only heard it said: He who has already persecuted us now announces the faith he once destroyed.
24 And they glorified God about me.
MARKS 16: 9-20
Apparitions of Jesus after his resurrection
(John 20: 11-18)
9 And Jesus, having risen on the morning of the first day of the week, first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10 And when she left, she announced it to those who had been with him, who were sad, and weeping.
11 And when they heard that he lived, and that he had been seen by her, they did not believe him.
12 And then it manifested itself in a different way to two of them, who were on their way to the field.
13 And when these went, they announced it to the others, but they still did not believe.
14 Finally he appeared at eleven, when they were seated at the table, and cast their unbelief and hardness of heart on them, because they had not believed in those who had seen him already risen.
15 And he said to them, Go into all the world, preach the gospel to every creature.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak new languages;
18 They will pick up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will do them no harm; and they will lay hands on the sick, and they will heal.
19 Now the Lord, after speaking to them, was received into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.
20 And they, having departed, preached everywhere, the Lord cooperating with them, and confirming the word with the signs that followed. Amen.
II PETER 2: 1-22
The false masters
1 AND there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will also be false doctors among you, who will covertly introduce heresies of perdition, and deny the Lord who redeemed them, bringing upon themselves sudden perdition.
2 And many will follow their dissolutions, by which the way of truth will be blasphemed.
3 And out of greed they will make a deal of you with false words; on which for a long time the sentence will not be late, and its perdition does not sleep.
4 For if God did not forgive the angels who sinned, but having cast them into hell, he gave them over to the chains of darkness, being reserved for judgment;
5 And he did not forgive the ancient world, but kept Noah, a preacher of justice, with seven more people, when he brought the flood over the world of the wicked;
6 And he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes, and setting an example for those who lived wickedly;
7 And he freed righteous Lot, bored with the dissolute life of abominable men
8 (For this righteous man, living among them, afflicted his righteous soul every day, seeing and hearing about his unrighteous works);
9 Thus does the Lord know how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and reserve the unjust for the day of judgment, to be punished;
10 But especially those who, according to the flesh, walk in filthy lusts, and despise the authorities; bold, obstinate, not afraid to blaspheme dignities;
11 While the angels, being greater in strength and power, do not pronounce blasphemous judgment on them before the Lord.
12 But these, like irrational animals, who follow nature, made to be arrested and killed, blaspheming what they do not understand, will perish in their corruption,
13 Receiving the reward of injustice; since such men take pleasure in daily delights; they are stains and blemishes, delighting in their mistakes when they feast on you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and not ceasing to sin, luring unsteady souls, having the heart exercised in avarice, children of curse;
15 Who, leaving the right path, made a mistake following the path of Balaam, son of Beor, who loved the prize of injustice;
16 But he was rebuked for his transgression; the dumb donkey, speaking in a human voice, prevented the prophet's madness.
17 These are fountains without water, clouds carried by the force of the wind, for which the darkness of darkness forever reserves.
18 For, speaking very arrogant things of vanity, they are enticing with the lusts of the flesh, and with dissolutions, those who were turning away from those who walk in error,
19 Promising them freedom, being servants of corruption themselves. Because of whom someone is defeated, he is also made a servant.
20 For if, after having escaped the corruptions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they were again involved in them and overcome, their last state became worse than the first.
21 For it would have been better for them not to know the way of righteousness, than, knowing it, to deviate from the holy commandment that had been given them;
22 In this way, what happened by a true proverb is said to them: The dog returned to its own vomit, and the sow was washed in the mud pits.
