Does a false teacher's education or status exempt him from God's judgment?
No. A false teacher's education, philosophical standing, or high position in Judaism does not exempt him from judgment. Scripture declares that whoever troubles believers with false teaching shall bear his judgment; Paul says he does not care who the person is—he will one day stand in judgment.
Les explains that Paul was not impressed by a false teacher's credentials or status. Whether the troubler was highly educated, a philosopher, or a high man in Judaism, Paul insisted that he would still bear his judgment and one day stand before God. This matches Paul's own resolve to proclaim the truth as the Lord laid it upon him, to please God rather than men, and to fear God more than men. His chief persecutors were the Judaizers, and Acts 15 shows what he was up against.
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
