(By Michael Youssef) There is an underhanded way to sell products called the bait-and-switch method. Here is how it works: A retailer entices a person to purchase an item. Yet, when the consumer gets ready to buy the product, he is told that there are no more in inventory. Immediately, the deceptive retailer tries to sell the consumer another product that is inferior to the one first offered. If the consumer buys it, the retailer makes a handsome profit, while the customer is swindled.
In the same way, false teachers use biblical words to capture attention and gain the trust of someone seeking the life of Jesus Christ. They use trusted terms to lure people away from the salvation message of the life of Jesus Christ. Essentially, they are the masters of the bait-and-switch method. Deception is a principal tool used by the enemy. Names such as devil and Satan are significant words because they mean “deceiver” and “slanderer.” READ MORE
Wake up churches. People on the street know more.
The comparison is a little weak to say the least. You need to learn about sophistry in Colossian 2:8 under the vain philosophy. Using Strong’s no. 5835 you find the word sophistry. Learn what the Jews are doing today selling prayer shawls with the idea that we should prayer with them when Matthew 5:17 is very plain saying Jesus fulfilled the law and John 14:16 speaks of the comforter is the spirit of intercessory. Curious art books such as the book of mysteries, Shemita, Harbinger, these are all contrary to Colossians 2:16. You can also learn what the book of Galatians is really all about. It tells how the vain Philosophers tricked them into the eternal covenant of circumcision. They added to faith in the blood of Jesus and in Galatians 5:4 they had fallen from grace. Sad but today more than ever. One other thing, don’t forget the salesman of the flesh who want you to give money to Israel to be blessed because they are God’s chosen people when all the time they know that Romans 2:28-29 said that we are the seed of Abraham which is stated in several places such as Galatians 3:14 which states that the blessings of Abraham come upon those that are in Jesus Christ.
