Voices: Hearing God in a World of Impostors, New Testament

Book excerpt: Voices: Hearing God in a World of Impostors New Testament) When so many voices claim to speak for God, how do you know what to do? Jesus and His Apostles spoke many times about false prophets and warned against those who disguise themselves as harmless sheep but are in fact wolves ready for the kill. They taught how to stand firm in truth in the face of these threats. Lying prophets, fraudulent spirits, and false teachings threatened the early Church and they continue to do so today. Believers should constantly stand guard against those who cleverly "lie against the truth" (James 3:14). Considering the fact that the New Testament closed special revelation, we'll look at how God communicates to His people today so we can learn to differentiate the true and the false and stand firm in these last days. We'll answer questions including: How has God spoken in these last days? What warnings does Jesus give about other voices? How can we know truth in this age of lies and deception?"
