Teaching

Read 2 Peter 2:1–19. Record the characteristics of false teachers described by Peter. Explain in writing how your list helps you recognize false teachers today.

·         Denying the Lord

·         Covetousness

·         Speak evil things and dignities

·         Filthy conversation

·         Lust of uncleanness, and despise government

·         Self-willed

·         Presumptuous

·         Eyes full of adultery

By knowing the characteristics of false teachers, it can help me be able to recognize them and avoid them. False teachers don’t want us to progress in doing well. We will know that things are true when we let the spirit guide us.

Read 2 Peter 2:20–22; Doctrine and Covenants 82:3, 7. In your own words, write a few sentences describing the dangers of returning to the “pollution's of the world.”

The dangers of returning to the “pollution's of the world” is that the Lord will judge us when we return to him. We would have a bigger punishment than those who has sinned but yet didn’t know the gospel. We know better and we have been taught by true prophets and great leaders.
