Influencers And Mass Murderers

[Mr. M]

Jezebel in today's parlance was an influencer.

20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel,
who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality
and eat things sacrificed to idols.

Allowing demonic influence on leadership.
Consider this teaching from Peter:

1 Peter 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief,
or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

So we see busybody mentioned with murderers, thieves and other
evildoers! Why? Are they not playing god in others lives?


Influencers are always trying to sell something.
To succeed, the first sell must be themselves.
This is called marketing "their brand".
Scripturally, it is called prostitution.
This is widespread in the church.

1 Timothy 6:
3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words,
even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to
the doctrine which accords with godliness,
4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is
obsessed with disputes and arguments over words,
from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth,
who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

ἀλλοτριεπίσκοπος ------------what an interesting word! I'm adding it to my rather meager Koine vocabulary.

Strong's Greek: 244. ἀλλοτριεπίσκοπος (allotriepiskopos) -- 1 Occurrence

Thank you for the heads up! I'll do my best to avoid committing this sin ...
