Obviously, feeling the solitude imposed by a disciplinary procedure, these false teachers now are crossing over into denominationalism, freely fraternizing with, and employing the services of, a host of sectarian teachers.
A brief review of the heretical doctrine of realized eschatology
The Lord expects his disciples to demonstrate a loving disposition, while, at the same time, defending the truth vigorously. All of us to some extent, have made errors in both of these areas.

Who is the sinister “man of sin” mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2?
Does this key phrase from Revelation 1:1 mean that John’s prophecies would all be fulfilled within a short time span?
