Where in the Bible can you find one of the best descriptions of false teachers?
The book of Jude offers one of the best descriptions of false teachers found anywhere in Scripture. The context also contrasts them with Paul's defense in 2 Corinthians 2:17, where he refused to corrupt or hawk an adulterated product of the Word of God, speaking instead in sincerity and in Christ.
Les explains that Jude is probably as good a description of false teachers as you can find anywhere in Scripture. He connects this to 2 Corinthians 2:17, where Paul defends his apostleship by saying he did not come like the many who corrupt or hawk the Word of God as an adulterated product, likened to wine watered down or a huckster selling wares not worth half the price. Instead, Paul came in complete sincerity, as of God, in the sight of God, and spoke in Christ. Les suggests the people Jude describes are the kind Paul had in mind.
