Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ
In the Second Epistle of John verse 7-11 the believer is warned against false teachers
(VS7) "for many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."
(VS9) "Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God."
Against such desception and untruth, the Spirit of God advises the child of God d not even entertain their doctrine of untruth.
(VS10-11) "If there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine, (doctrine of Christ) receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."
There seems to be a concensus on the blogs that there should not be an aggressive spirit of opposition to blatant untruth. In the above passages the Spirit of God admonishes his children don't even entertain their thoughts. I can tell you from the best Teacher the only way to thwart the lies and deception of satan is with the Word of God / Truth... and it must be agressive.
When Christ was lead of the Spirit into the wilderness and was tempted, what was His answer to every desceptive lie of satan? The Word of God, nothing else. He did not mince words, was not concerned with politcal correctness, just used the old, antiquated Word. If by chance one might have heard Christ response to satan, one might have said, He will never win satan over to His point of view. He sure want make any friends talking like that. Do you hear them? To be honest with you my friend, He was not trying to win satan over to Truth. He was thwarting satn's lies with Truth... He didn't even bid him God speed.
If the truth of God's Word offends, we might do well to search our own heart!
