Hi, this particular story is a good one many people have been following Jesus and the number of people is getting larger. Unfortunately, there are some in the group of growing “believers” that do not actually have the Christian conduct. People have not really changed their ways and are still doing “odd” things that will lead to trouble if they are not corrected. This often leads to religious quirks or mixing together strange practices that are non-Biblical based. In the Bible there is a passage that hit the bullseye about what is happening when so many people join or follow a group that do not have true works.
Jude 4
Names of God Bible
4 Some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. Not long ago they were condemned in writing for the following reason: They are people to whom God means nothing. They use God’s kindness as an excuse for sexual freedom and deny our only Master and Lord, Yeshua Christ.
Galatians 5:7-12
Living Bible
7 You were getting along so well. Who has interfered with you to hold you back from following the truth? 8 It certainly isn’t God who has done it, for he is the one who has called you to freedom in Christ. 9 But it takes only one wrong person among you to infect all the others.
10 I am trusting the Lord to bring you back to believing as I do about these things. God will deal with that person, whoever he is, who has been troubling and confusing you.
11 Some people even say that I myself am preaching that circumcision and Jewish laws are necessary to the plan of salvation. Well, if I preached that, I would be persecuted no more—for that message doesn’t offend anyone. The fact that I am still being persecuted proves that I am still preaching salvation through faith in the cross of Christ alone.
12 I only wish these teachers who want you to cut yourselves by being circumcised would cut themselves off from you and leave you alone!
