Dear Grands,

2 Peter 2:1-4, “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will
also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies,
even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
2 Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;
3 and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long
ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and
committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment…”

None of the epistles in the New Testament were arranged, as we have them now
in our Bibles. Stephen Langdon created the chapter divisions in A.D. 1228. Robert Stephens divided the chapters into verses in A.D. 1551; and Montanus numbered
the verses in A.D. 1571. Later, Gutenburg made the first printing in A.D. 1455. We
should honor those four men for making the Bible easier to read and understand.

Still, the message of the Scriptures must not be overlooked! Especially, is that so
in today’s world where numerous large churches are being “pastored” with wrong
doctrine! Categorically, there is nothing wrong with large churches. The problem is
that too many pastors are focused on money or pride instead of the Scriptures!
Unsound messages come from pulpits that are believed to be theologically sound
because so many people attend. “Might does not make right!” And “large” does not
equate with “soundness!”

Pray for your pastor(s)! Their time is so precious! They need time for study and
reflection. That is how truth avoids being maligned.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
