Why do false teachers ridicule Scripture?
False teachers ridicule Scripture because they have never studied it and know nothing about it. They speak evil of what they are ignorant of, rejecting it simply because it is the Word of God. Their thinking is no higher than the animal world, coming from the old Adamic nature, so they corrupt themselves.
Les explains that these false teachers are hawking an adulterated product. They defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. They speak evil of things they know not. Have they ever studied Scripture? No. So they ridicule something they know nothing about, but they ridicule it just because it is the Word of God. Les points out that what they know naturally is from the old Adamic side, as brute beasts, no higher in their thinking than the animal world, and in those things they corrupt themselves. They can live at the moral level of an animal and think they are living it up. They are spots in your love feast, feeding themselves without fear.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
