Prov 11:9
9 With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor,
but through knowledge the righteous escape.
NIV
I don’t think there is any question about the false prophets screaming around the air waves today which would certainly destroy those who are sucked into their fold. But I think this also speaks to the concept of Psalm 1. Why would I want to take any advice from the godless? Why would I want to listen to anything they have to say about religion and the things of the supernatural? I think anything those individuals who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are either confused or simply uninformed. I am sure many of my neighbors are very nice people, but their thoughts about God are so far off base it would take a lifetime for them to simply get back in the ballpark. I know the word of God, I know what it says and therefore I will not be destroyed by what things are said by these godless people. I have escaped that destructive thinking. I have eluted those humanistic philosophies, those manmade schemes of refuting the truths of God. There is nothing these people have to say which could persuade me to agree with their doctrines. I think both the false teacher may be even more dangerous than the words of the godless world. At least the world makes no pretense of being righteous. The false teacher, preacher does, and therefore appears as a sheep but all the while is nothing more than that wolf seeking to devour who he might. He uses just enough of God’s truth in an effort to deceive even the elect. I see right through them both, because I have the knowledge of God in my heart and mind. There is nothing but God’s truth, and because of it I have escaped and will continue to do so. I have been set free.
