Pink, you just illustrated why people don’t understand my rage at this great injustice. I agree with you that while many are deceived, many more are not, but above all NOBODY in this country, in this internet age, has any excuse not to read and study scripture on their own. Nobody is excused from being a Berean! If the “church fathers” had no excuses because they “claimed to see” (are held to be teachers), then much less do any of today’s teachers have the right to use deception as a defense. And their followers, regardless, are individually responsible for making use of the resources available to them. Teachers will be judged more strictly, but that doesn’t mean students are not judged at all.
