II Peter 2:

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.
3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

Doom of False Teachers
4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;
5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked
8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)—
9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,
10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.

This passage is very simple... God means business when it comes to sin and when it comes to false dictrines!! Peter explains by sharing several examples of Gods wrath... Remember when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorah? What makes you think that He wont do the same thing in your life to show you how much He hates sin? Our God is a loving God, but He is also a God of wrath!! He is the enemy of sin and will cast down his righteous judgment on anyone that is involved in sin...

If you are living in sin right now, it is only by Gods grace that He is allowing you to read this passage as a fair warning and Red Flag saying: STAY AWAY FROM SIN!!!!!!!!!

IT WILL DESTROY YOUR LIFE!!!!!
