"And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."
Today's quote relates how, after His apostles had misunderstood, Jesus had to explain a warning wherein He cautioned against the "leaven" of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
The children of God today are faced with the same vile "leaven" that confronted the apostles during Jesus' day.
There are literally thousands of false teachers who are peddling all manner of heretical doctrines. And sadly, many are spreading heresy in the name of Christianity. Two of the most far fetched examples of heresy are Roman Catholicism and Mormonism, there are many, many more.
We, as representatives of true Christianity, must be faithful to adhere to the perfect gospel of eternal salvation by the grace of God through faith in the divine works of His only begotten Son as it was presented straight out of the mouths of Jesus Christ and His chosen teachers. We should NEVER chase after, or allow in our discussion, ANY doctrine other than the pure gospel as it was taught by Jesus Christ Himself.~
