A Dog Returns to His Own Vomit.

This might sound disgusting to you, but this is actually taken from the Bible. In 2 Peter 2, Peter is talking about the false teachers and their false doctrines, check these verses: 2 Peter 2:1-3. See that Peter makes it very clear that there will be false teachers among God's people, that's inevitable. But Peter is saying that they will bring their heresies secretly. If we're not careful, if we don't "test the spirits", we will be deceived. What's very interesting is that Peter says that they will exploit you with deceptive words. It doesn't take too long to realize how many false teachers are out there, among God's people, if you just turn you tv on and pay attention, you'll see clearly that Peter was right. You will hear extremely deceptive words with the intent to exploit you, to take money from you! Question: Is God's Kingdom for sale? Didn't Jesus Christ say that we might give for free what we freely received? Matthew 10:8. Why there's almost always money involved in the "great commission"? Is it because they associate the word "commission" with the one used in business deals? See how many synonyms Peter gives in this chapter to false teachers: Natural brute beasts, exploiters, unjusts, lustful, depraved, spots and blemishes, adulterous, etc. The problem in accepting false teachings is that when the tribulation comes, and it will come because Jesus said so, it's just a matter of time, the ones who accepted it will fall away, will abandon their faith. That's what Peter meant when he quoted that proverb: 2 Peter 2:22. Peter is saying that the "ex-believers" would return to their sinful lifestyle as the dog returns to his own vomit or the washed sow to her wallowing in the mire. In fact, as Peter says in 2 Peter 2:20, it's better never been washed than to be washed and go back to the mire, meaning, it's better to keep living the sinful life than after experiencing holiness turning away from God. Revelation 22:11.
