The simplest test for distinguishing true from false teachers is the identity of Jesus (who is he?) and the means of salvation (how am I saved?) — 1 John and Ephesians 2:8-9

The False Teachings and Lies of Joo-Cheol Kim (Pastor of the Church of God) 01:04:01 – 01:05:35

Q&A: question from Zipa Duck about how new Christians can identify false vs. true teachers.

Two core questions: (1) Who is Jesus? Is he the eternal, uncreated God in the flesh who died and literally rose again? (2) How am I saved? Is it by faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9) or by ritual observance? 1 John's test — 'every spirit that confesses Jesus is Lord' — presupposes knowledge of the full biblical Jesus (Lord = eternal God, atoning death, bodily resurrection). Kim's book ignores both questions entirely. These two issues serve as a reliable filter for detecting false teaching.

κεφαλή (kephale) — Logos Clippings (Cheryl Schatz)

A curated collection of Logos Bible Software clippings compiled by Cheryl Schatz examining the Greek word κεφαλή (kephale) and Hebrew רֹאשׁ (rosh). The clippings draw from lexicons, encyclopedias, commentaries, and academic journals to argue that "source/origin" is the primary metaphorical meaning of kephale rather than "authority/leader," with implications for interpreting 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, and Colossians 1.

@KuiperBelt117 Interesting. I changed my view away from Reformed soteriology when I stopped binge listening to RC Sproul messages and started reading my Bible and letting it speak.
