The Flatterer

The Flatterer is a false teacher who purposely tells people what they want to hear and leads them astray. There are a number of Scriptures referenced in this lesson. In order they are:

1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Jeremiah 23:1, 16-17, 21-22
Jeremiah 27:14-16; 28:1-4; 10-17
Philippians 3:17-19
2 Peter 2:1-3
Romans 16:17-18
Acts 20:17-31
Matthew 7:15-16
2 Corinthians 11:12-15
Hebrews 12:5-7
Deuteronomy 25:2-3

This is a discussion class, and the point is made repeatedly that the Flatterer can not lead people astray if they are well grounded in the Word of God. The Flatterer tells people what they want to hear, and the people willingly follow them.
