Titus 1:11: They Must Be Silenced

This Reformed Rookie podcast episode delves into the dangers of false teaching, drawing heavily from Paul's letters to Titus and Timothy. Pastor Anthony discusses the characteristics of false teachers—insubordination, deceit, empty talk, and greed—and their destructive impact on families and the church. He explores specific heresies prevalent in the early church, including Gnosticism and Judaizing legalism, contrasting them with the true gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone. The importance of sound doctrine, scriptural authority, and the role of church elders in confronting false teaching are emphasized. The episode also highlights the need for unity in Christ, transcending cultural and racial divisions, using Peter's actions in Galatians 2 as a cautionary tale. The podcast concludes with a call to stand firm on biblical truth and resist the ever-evolving tactics of Satan.00:08:32 - Sound Doctrine & Rebuke03:55 - False Teachers in Crete & Ephesus07:56 - Confronting False Teachers11:28:13 - Characteristics of False Teachers15:08 - Dangers of False Teaching18:06 - True vs. False Christianity21:58 - Early Church Heresies28:03 - Gospel Integrity & Discipline35:05 - Combating False Doctrine38:28 - Silencing False Teachers41:50 - Unity in ChristPodcast: www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!
