What is the world falling for according to this teaching?
The world is falling for a line of false teaching that is nothing but an adulterated product. This teaching is likened to clouds without water, trees whose fruit withereth, and other empty promises that bring hope but disappear, leaving adherents with nothing.
Les explains that the world is falling for false teaching that is nothing but an adulterated product. He compares false teachers to clouds without water, carried about with wind, and trees whose fruit withereth: they create a horizon of hope, but adherents suddenly realize it is nothing and it disappears. In contrast, Paul defended his apostleship, stating he did not come corrupting the Word of God or with half-truth, unlike raging waves foaming out their own shame or wandering stars reserved for blackness of darkness forever.
