For every pure thing God has created, Satan has manufactured a counterfeit, even passing himself off as an angel of light, having the power to influence his false teachers to pass themselves off as ministers of the truth, even having the power to fabricate false miracles and wonders. The apostle Peter and Jesus's brothers James and Jude warned of false prophets and false teachers, corrupting the church with a new gospel of licentiousness, eliminating all need for law keeping. Sadly, our previous fellowship was torn apart by antinomian heresy, called STP (Slowly Turning Protestant), a vile concoction that Our Heavenly Father and our Savior spit out. Jesus forecast these horrible situations in His parables of the Sower, in which God sowed the pure wheat, while Satan sowed the Darnell, having the capacity to poison the nervous system, causing dizziness and paralysis. In the early growing season, the two plants look identical as their root systems intertwine with each other. Jesus tells the disciples not to attempt to separate the wheat (true believers) from the Darnell (tares) because it is impossible to tell them apart. Additionally, only Christ has been given the prerogative to tell them apart. Consequently, He will have His angels harvest these noxious weeds, burning them in the fire (symbolizing Gehenna or the Lake of Fire). God's church has both wheat and tares, and false teachers have torn away formerly loyal members. We must leave it to Christ to identify the tares, but keeping our Berean mindset, must treat both wheat and tares with respect, remembering Jesus washed the feet of Judas Iscariot.
