B. Questions about detecting truthful teaching!
1. How many read the above will notice there is discrepancy in the 2 underline sayings! Do you?
2. How many people will discover, I changed the ‘had believed’ into ‘having believed’! Will you?

If you do not do this, you have never been a Jesus believer!
If you ever think that you were a believer, you deceived others and yourself!
6. Your teacher may not even be a Jesus believer!
7. Thus you may be being taught by a false teacher from Satan!

1. This is vital! The lying party is from Satan! Jn.8:44
2. Only one can be truth! It is either having believed or had believed!
