Jezebel \u201ccalls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.\u201d No calling or commissioning necessary for the false teacher. She presumed that she was a person who could speak for God to God\u2019s people.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A false teacher has special knowledge (2 John 9).<\/strong><br \/>\nA false teacher presumes to have special knowledge, as in being one who better understands the secrets of true spirituality. Jezebel considered herself to have greater spiritual perception than most and, equipped with this special knowledge, she goes beyond the direct, objective confirmation of the Bible. Her ideas and opinions are untethered by Scripture. In Jezebel\u2019s case this special knowledge was \u201cthe deep things of Satan\u201d and this special insight enabled her to reach past the constraints of Scripture. As a false teacher she would use the Bible but would not be limited by the Bible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A false teacher is a fixer (Ezekiel 13:10).<\/strong><br \/>\nThe people in Thyatira had a real problem, and Jezebel fixed it. If the members of this fellowship completely fulfilled their obligation to the trade unions, then they would violate the teaching of Scripture and jeopardize their standing in the church. But if they wholeheartedly obeyed the word of God and refused to take part in the idolatry and the sex that was part of the idolatry, then they would jeopardize their jobs. Jezebel \u201cfixed\u201d this by increasing the tolerance levels of idolatry and immorality past the prescribed levels approved in Scripture. Problem solved.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A false teacher brings death and destruction (2 Peter 2:1).<\/strong><br \/>\nThe wide road always leads to destruction. Always. There is no other destination for someone on the wide road. We may be incredulous as to how these people fell into such blatant sin, and in doing so we would reveal our own faulty standards. We would make the mistake of judging one sin or \u201cindiscretion\u201d above or below another. How? Because in doing this we would reveal our reliance on our own personal man-made standard of compliance. The deceived person believes that their \u201ctolerance levels\u201d are acceptable, even if they are not aligned with the word of God. Simply stated: \u201cYour sin is worse than their sin.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cThyatira: The Loving, Faithful, Serving, Enduring but Tolerant Church!\u201d<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Revelation 2:18-29<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.faithfellowship.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PDF-REVELATION-MESSAGE-7-Thyatira-The-Loving-Faithful-Serving-Enduring-but-Tolerant-Church-Revelation-2-18-29-ffc-dave-scott-112016-AM-STUDY-SHEET-1.pdf\">pdf-revelation-message-7-thyatira-the-loving-faithful-serving-enduring-but-tolerant-church-revelation-2-18-29-ffc-dave-scott-112016-am-study-sheet-1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.faithfellowship.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PDF-REVELATION-MESSAGE-7-Thyatira-The-Loving-Faithful-Serving-Enduring-but-Tolerant-Church-Revelation-2-18-29-ffc-dave-scott-112016-AM-STUDY-SHEET-2.pdf\">pdf-revelation-message-7-thyatira-the-loving-faithful-serving-enduring-but-tolerant-church-revelation-2-18-29-ffc-dave-scott-112016-am-study-sheet-2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.faithfellowship.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PDF-REVELATION-MESSAGE-7-Thyatira-The-Loving-Faithful-Serving-Enduring-but-Tolerant-Church-Revelation-2-18-29-ffc-dave-scott-112016-AM-STUDY-SHEET-3.pdf\">pdf-revelation-message-7-thyatira-the-loving-faithful-serving-enduring-but-tolerant-church-revelation-2-18-29-ffc-dave-scott-112016-am-study-sheet-3<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.faithfellowship.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/PDF-REVELATION-MESSAGE-7-Thyatira-The-Loving-Faithful-Serving-Enduring-but-Tolerant-Church-Revelation-2-18-29-ffc-dave-scott-112016-AM-STUDY-SHEET-4.pdf\">pdf-revelation-message-7-thyatira-the-loving-faithful-serving-enduring-but-tolerant-church-revelation-2-18-29-ffc-dave-scott-112016-am-study-sheet-4<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jezebel: Profile of a False Teacher \u2026 A false teacher presumes position (Revelation 2:20).
