What happens to people who twist the Scriptures?
According to Scripture, those who are unlearned and unstable twist the Scriptures, as they do also the other Scriptures. Their end result is their own destruction. This is hard language, but it is the stated consequence for those who twist the Scriptures.
Les explains that Peter wrote that Paul's epistles contain some things hard to be understood. The unlearned and unstable twist those difficult passages, just as they twist the other Scriptures. Les notes that people become masters at twisting Scripture, and that is where the cults come in. The end result for such people is their own destruction—hard language, but the stated consequence.
