- This video will teach you the one way that you can avoid deception, in regards to false teachers, false preachers, and false doctrines. It isn't by listening to discernment ministries, and it isn't by relying upon others.

RUMBLE: rumble.com/c/LIONofFIRE
I never had any discernment until at the age of 64 I asked God for it. The whole world opened up for me after that. I found myself questioning my faith for the first time. Truth was not revealed overnight. It took me several years to sort through my beliefs not just about religion, but my family and friends as well. Eventually I left the tyranny of Rome, got rid of my rosaries and prayer books full of novenas to the saints and became a Christian. I also left everyone in my circle who were narcissistic liars behind. This gift of discernment followed me into Protestantism and delivered me from the hands of Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyers to name but a few. At 74 my life is very simple. I don’t watch mainstream entertainment or read secular books. My free time is spent in the Bible sometimes gasping at how different it is to the catechism I grew up with. Been disappointed many times by false teachers. After watching a random video that came up on my feed a few weeks ago, my heart skipped a beat as I recognized your spirit. No red flags, only confirmation I was safe listening to you, Matt. Thank you and bless you.
That's wonderful testimony!
Praise God! ✝️
We need to study the Bible daily and pray daily
2 Corinthians 11: 13-15 Satan has MANY ministers disguised as righteous ministers. BEWARE ⚠️ READ THE BIBLE YOURSELF and KNOW. Amen. 1 John 2: 27 ❤️
Absolutely 👍🏻 amen 🙏🏻✝️
Thanks Matthew! Yes, we need to be in God's Word every day.
Great analogy with the Australian coins... that would be me being American! 😆 🇺🇸
Yes, know what the Bible says 📖 and listen to the Holy Spirit!
(Learned that the hard way 😳 ... still learning, actually!)
Hi Matt, I'm 71 and love reading my Bible everyday and pray 3 times a day. If you held Bible Study classes and I lived
in your neighbourhood I'd happily be there every week.
Bro that's simple 101 common sense. The best way the secret service news the counterfeit money is to study real well the real. It's sad that you have to make a video about that.
Sooooo true……a good message……..Ja, it is always good to know the truth, and the truth is the Word of God.
We are all called to be as the Bereans, Acts 17:11. And the Truth (Lord Jesus/ The Word), shall set us free! John 8:31,32,36 ✝️📖❤️
Hi Matt
We need to study Bible on a daily basis and pray to the lord for wisdom and guidance.
Thanks for sharing. 🙏❤️
Amen!
“ If a crooked stick is before you, you need not explain how crouched it is, just lay a straight one beside it, and the work is well done. Preach The Truth , and error will stand abashed in its path.” Charles Spurgeon
Typing error apology -
crooked , not
” crouched”
Wow!!! Amazing!!
I’ll use that analogy in another video.
Thank you. Matt 🙏
Matthew, a thought came to me in the first minute of listening to your video. I have noticed 'a lot' and I mean 'a lot' that those who are in the 'Christian' content arena, tend to think that they have the ability to be more discerning than anyone else. I was watching the channel of someone who I consider to be a brother in Christ and he is always telling people not to watch this channel or read this book and the interesting thing is that the way he comes by the conclusion is by doing what he asks other not to do. Even some of the larger channels you will hear, "I read it, or watched it so you don't have to." I think that it is fine to warn someone that something is bad theology or doctrine and spell out your reasons, but I think it is dangerous to try to stand as a barrier to allowing Christians to become discerning on their own. Think of it this way, if you said, "Don't watch this or read this...whatever..." and I was speaking to a brother or sister in Christ and they asked me why I don't watch it or read it , I would only be able to answer, "Because Matthew said it was bad...and if you were wrong I could be bearing false witness." Just a thought that came to mind, I wanted to share with you.
Very wise illustration 👌
If it dosen’t meet with scripture its false.
Well said, brother 😊
The Holy Spirit dwells within us. Ask the spirit for discernment. Let the Spirit teach you not a man.
Spot on!
I oray every day
Amen!
Does it align with the word of God? We have to read our Bible every day
🙏🙏🙏
Right on. However, the only problem next would be what "version" of the Bible are they reading since not every version can be trusted to be one that states every word accurately to the infallible word of God. The only versions I trust are those translated from the Textus Receptus.
1. Any variations between versions like ESV v KJV don’t affect any points of doctrine, or practical application.
2. Good translations also include footnotes which highlight that some manuscripts may include/not include that verse (or use the number 72 instead of 70, for example). This gives the reader the opportunity to look into information about the manuscripts, for themselves.
3. I personally wouldn’t recommend KJV to people (even though it’s a good translation) because the language is outdated, and this can actually cause greater confusion for the reader. Eg. When it uses the word “charity” instead of “love.” This makes no sense to the modern reader.
4. No English version is infallible word for word. It’s simply a translation of the infallible Word. There are errors in the KJV (iThinkBiblically did a good video on this).
@@lionoffireraw In answer to your first point, I will make this one short and sweet. There are indeed a number of places where the two translations differ from each other where the same statements are very unique (rather than just some "modernly updated" meanings.) Also if you would just look closely enough for yourself there are a number of things the KJV gets more straight than does many other versions.
In answer to your second claim, the footnotes are another dangerous stumbling block that some Bibles have acquired during all of the re-translation periods.
The way you described the advantage of footnotes, it may look that way to those who are still naive enough in the faith and to being able to execute the right textual criticism, but in reality the installment of footnotes can be another one of the enemy's clever tools to misleading people with their own "version" of the Bible.
In answer to your third claim, I believe you to have a point on this one. However, a lot of this is the problem of how so many of us have been raised up in our recent generations. It hasn't always been this way and should have never become this way. Unfortunately so many of us have been so dumbed down a pretty good deal and is most the fault of the western world's schooling system and anyone else who has ever schooled us.
Heck, how many of us have been taught to even be able to speak more than one language (our modern common one)? So many of us have been raised up on deficient vocabulary and this problem can easily be solved with a dictionary.
I could also include just on a side note that it has always bothered me that English and Australians have some different meanings for certain things than Americans do; though we all still speak English. For example, why do you all call cookies "biscuits" when to us biscuits mean what you call "scones" except without sugar and cream in the recipe?
All of these existing multiple meanings and expressions that only some areas use that others don't just makes it all the more complicated and makes it more essential that we all brush up as high as we all can on our vocabulary even to be able to do things like textual criticism with original translations into our own language.
The more ignorant and naive and illiterate everybody is the more the devil loves it because he can more easily mislead and take advantage of everybody including Christians that way.
In answer to your fourth claim, that is an erroneous claim. Because again there are plenty of difference in the translations. Just go to Bible Gateway and see the parallels for yourself. Even in response to Caleb's critique of the KJV, yes there may be a couple of statistical errors in the KJV but any supposed errors I've seen and can believe are there at least are not any theological errors.
The truth is, and you can find out for yourself, that there are plenty of translations out of the Alexandrian texts that have some dangerous errors that the three translated out of the Textus Receptus at least don't have. One example would be that there are at least several versions (translated out of the Alexandrian texts) you can find where Mary is defined as being a "young woman" instead of a "virgin" in prophecies about her giving birth to Jesus. Now I'm sure that you would completely agree that this certainly doesn't give anyone the specific necessary meat about her chastity at the time of Jesus' conception from the Holy Spirit alone and birth.
At least all of the translations out of the Textus Receptus say Mary was a "virgin" when she had Christ. So that is one way to know that the Textus Receptus is accurate in terms of being completely parallel to God's truth. I could give more examples of how that is, but this alone is a pretty straight on one.
Good message Matt
When I was younger I had the benefit of consistent, evangelical, protestant teaching in church. Now that I am old and restricted by health issues, I get my religious teaching from the internet, and sometimes Christian TV channels. I am appalled at the number of false teachers, (often with US political agendas), and others who are just plain money-grubbing profiteers. I can't even 'Cope' with watching that wealthy guy with the demonic appearance and his own private jet planes. As for that cabal of US preachers who falsely prophesied that Trump would win a second term in 2020, well you only need a knowledge of recent history to understand the level of deception that is being falsely put out as Christian teaching. May God deal speedily with these deceivers who have gone completely off the rails and who do the gospel message of Christ crucified no good at all! ☹
The bible and prayer are what is needed not all the rapture so many Christian’s keep going on about. How can anyone be ready your house in order That is what we are need to be doing and to keep on the narrow road
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide and read the Bible independently
What kind of Bible were you holding? It looks just like my esv . I wish I had a KJV like it in the same size and style.
Dad loves his King James and has an old copy of the companion bible wich is different than new print ones. He also has a Strongs Concordance. He is a scribe essentially uses all 3 almost all day every day.
Yeh, ESV 😃

Wonderful, helpful message!
Oooohhh, great illustration Matt

Let's see if you have fallen for a deception.
The Greek word theos "God" appears 1,315 to 1,320 times in the NT.
Of all these occurrences can you show me where the contextual definition is a Tri-personal God?
Honestly mate, I’m not really interested in discussing these questions. There are countless resources online which definitively and unequivocally demonstrate the Trinity in Scripture (and demonstrate the contradictions of denying the Trinity).
This is an issue that was settled along time ago.
@@lionoffireraw
Your video just taught us to go to God's Word to avoid deception.
So I ask you to show me where in God's Word, in the Apostolic writings, a simple "Tri-personal God" definition can be contextually found.
At the 3:33 mark, you tell us that to discern error is to understand the Word.
My request should be simple if what you say about God is true.
Where does the "Tri-personal" God definition contextually show up in the NT?
you mean like when God said 7 and man says 1. or when He said 3 days AND 3 nights rising on the 3rd day, and man says a day and a half?
You need to understand the Hebrew/Greek idioms.
@@lionoffireraw I do, do you? Because if you're gonna tell me that the Jews (of His day) counted part of a day as a day, as opposed to how the Creator of time counts time, then I will go with the Creator! There is no command to worship on Sunday (why is it called Sunday when the sun wasn't created till day 4 which is called Wednesday (after Woden? a pagan God!) In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrine commandments of men (Matt 15:9) If you love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15) We cannot change a law of God-they were written in stone by His own finger! How can we believe "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof of correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16) and then say it's been changed? We were warned in Daniel 7:25 that they would THINK to change times and laws so they told us they did and we follow them????
Yeshua said not one jot or tittle shall pass from the TORAH (instructions, laws) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall never pass away!!!!
grow into the fulness and stature of Messiah. Shalom
Yeshua was crucified on a Wednesday afternoon and was in the grave 3 days and 3 nights JUST AS HE SAID! (The ONLY sign He would give them) and rose on the 3rd day which was the sABBAth day just b4 sunset. He is not here, He is risen JUST AS HE SAID! Matt 28:6. WHY can't we take Him at His word??? He is the Word of God-if it doesn't line up with the Word of God-it is not the word of God!
Yeah, but the very reason I go to a preacher is because I don't understand the Word in the first place.
Otherwise - what would be the need for church? We could just lock ourselves in a room and just read the Bible on its own.
If so, reading the Bible gives you discernment, how come you deny the validity of casting demons and speaking in tongues? I’m not quite sure what is your stance on healing the sick.
God can and does heal.
Gifts are also still in operation, but most supposed manifestations today are false.
The real gifts of tongues is in operation today (speaking in another language).
The babble tongues is nonsense!
I believe in casting out demons of UNBELIEVERS, which is biblical, not believers. This is very clear biblically ⬇️

LOL,...so, you just spent five minutes saying you can identify a lie if you know the truth. (no kidding?) Except you can't really tell anyone how to discern the truth except to read the bible. The same bible the people giving false information read.
Exactly. If people know the truth for themselves, they will be able to see how others stray from it. Very simple.
@bohem5568 You say that like he made a logical fallacy, he didn't. Most of the time the people giving false information have a heart issue. There indeed will always be nuances, and blind spots, none of us will have perfect discernment. That's why it's so important to judge by fruits, and to learn how to judge righteously, to show mercy, to turn the other check, etc... It's an art.
@@lionoffireraw Of course. That's obvious. However "IF" is the key word. And the false assumption is of someone, "knowing the truth".
@@josephpchajek2685 Not false logic but rather simple logic attached to a condition of false assumption.
Sorry you have it wrong. You say you don't have to listen to any of these to know truth from deceit?
Well, then please explain why you call the Father and Son by pagan names Lord and Jesus?
Why have you done away with the Sabbath?
Why do you replace the Scriptural feasts for the pagan traditions of christmas and easter?
Why do you eat unclean foods and are uncircumcised?
There are many more things you have changed from the bible. You do realize our Messiah did NONE of these pagan church traditions?
You also realize He taught from the Tanakh!
Yet you as a christian do all that Yahusha Messiah didn't do. And you say you follow Scripture?
The church changed the Word, and our father NEVER changed: Why?
You see our Father never changes. Mal 3:6; Heb 6:17; James 1:17
His covenant nor the words from His Mouth does not change: Ps 89:34; Exo 31:14 - 18
His Word may not be changed: Dt 4:2, 12:32; Prov 30:6; Rev 22:18&19.
All Scripture applies: 2Tim 3:16&17
The conclusion of the entire matter is:
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear Elohim and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind!
Sounds like you’re stuck in the Old Covenant.
@lionoffireraw you are stuck in lies and deception. What don't you get about the following NT Scripture: 2Ti 3:16 TS2009 All Scripture is breathed out by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness, All Scripture applies, also the Tanakh (OT) which our Messiah's whole ministry was taught from. Our Messiah Yahusha set an example for us (1 Pet 2:21), which we must follow. And He obeyed commands. So I am not stuck in the Tanakh, but free by the Teachings of Yahusha Messiah.
