Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 2:1-3 (day seven)

Many will follow their sensuality… vs 2

Just because something is popular and widely followed does not mean that it is of God. Just because people you know are following a teacher, doesn’t mean the teacher is following God. Often when things are popular or trending theologically, it ends up being a false teaching. Why might this be so?

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4

People follow popular trends because it makes them feel good about themselves, especially if it validates a part of them that the Lord is trying to redeem. If the things that we are following are a new revelation, not supported by scripture, or not taught faithfully throughout history, we should pause to ask why we are drawn to this ideology in the first place.
