But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. (2 Tim 2:23-26)

THEN THE SPIRITUAL
Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6)

Obey God
• Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves... Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, "Lord, Lord..." And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS." Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man... (Matt 7:15-24)
• And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation. (Heb 5:9)

Not Men
• I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! (Gal 1:6-8)
• For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. (2 Cor 11:13-15)

Revolution!
• Jesus started a spiritual revolution to overthrow the false religious authorities of this world. That's why they crucified Him. 
• Jesus was the first in a long line of martyrs that follow in His steps. The revolution rages on! 
• The false prophets of today don't like being exposed any more than they did in Jesus' day. 
• Today's Revolutionaries must be trained and equipped to help each individual overcome the false doctrines that enslave them to sin. 

Follow The Word Of God, Not The Word Of Men
• The weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised against the knowledge of God. (2 Cor 10:3-5)
• Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. (2 Tim 2:15)
• The things which you have heard from me... entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life. (2 Tim 2:2-4)

Satan wants everything to be mushy and confusing, like we can't know anything for sure so why bother trying to sort things out. If it feels good do it. Then wake up one day burning in hell!

God wants us to know the truth. He spent almost two millennia writing it down for us.
