If You Don’t Know the Word, You’ll Fall for Anything._Bilingual
10 Plays1 month ago
In a world full of opinions and “new revelations,” how do you stay grounded in truth?
In this episode, we dive into how deception works—and why it’s often subtle, sounding close to the truth. Scripture reminds us that even those who deceive can be deceived themselves. That’s why it’s essential to know God’s Word for yourself, stay anchored in truth, and be mindful of what and who you’re listening to.
We also explore the importance of context in Scripture, how false interpretations can form, and why God’s Word is meant to teach, correct, and guide us into truth. When the Word is in you, it becomes your filter, your foundation, and your protection.
Stay rooted. Stay discerning. Stay faithful.

But evil people and imposters will flourish. is maslos malos ombres i lo angel gallaores They will deceive others others
00:02:11
Speaker
and will themselves inganando be deceived vian lu manos so i just want to point out there giro pun ah punarreto that the people that were deceiving others kelaineque daring anolo They were themselves deceived. they use mismo furing and right Now there are some people that just try to deceive you. get ram they sit take it But these people were themselves deceived.
00:02:36
Speaker
Right? Alright, so let's go on because this is going to help us to figure out how we don't get deceived. Okay. All verse But you must remain faithful this emeropresssis still to the things you have been taught do i look at the and ah as upenddi you know they are true isabasque is bela and for you know sabiendo you can trust they're looking again those who have taught you dan
00:03:06
Speaker
in sannaa as asarendido You have been taught the Holy Scriptures dan in sealo leritura santa from childhood ah they they get us on niio and they have given you the wisdom vi dado la sabi to receive salvation but i see is a salva that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. and confiando in cristo hisus all Scripture aratoa esriator is inspired by god saint speeddada divna menreoss and is useful to teach us yes panigna what is true e butagiamo and make us realize e but a get iminar what is wrong in our lives. stop malli en restta vias It corrects us yeah e onos corri when we are wrong. and
00:03:50
Speaker
it teaches us no insane yeah to do what is right as said lookreto god uses it yoslousa to prepare butrare parara and equip his people inir asupeblo to do every good work. but i said dola we now overbra So there are two things I want to point out there. The first one is pretty obvious.
00:04:11
Speaker
Okay, is that we need to be in this book. for ourselves, not just listening to other people teach. And I'm going to get into some juicy example of that in a second. But first, he said, you need to have that word on the inside of you because that is going to teach you what's right. Right?
00:04:39
Speaker
like That's how you know i see what the truth is gila and you don't get off. is You have this guy they so on the inside of you. i didn through it and In fact, David said, david the God, I have hidden your word in my heart you so you thing so that I won't a sin against you. like you' not but The Bible says that the word of God like butla but is a lamp unto your feet and a light to your path. now loose It shows you correro the way to go. is' what they come ye on the The Bible says that the word of God a la pallabra review goes on the inside of us but i then't throw the and it cuts off the things that are flesh.
00:05:18
Speaker
So I could go on and on and on. about the power of the word of God. And if anybody is interested, iist san terisa Psalms 119, like the whole psalm, it's really long. But it talks so much and about the word of God tappa labra di and what it does. get look acid And it also says im in d c that when you have the word of God look on the inside of you, it firmly anchors you into the truth. they right hima minte they unclela love it So that's number one. And I think most of us know that. now maioia and We know it's important to be in the Word.
00:05:57
Speaker
All right. but Pop quiz. i not What was something else in that verse, though, that it said? okay a nea is And I think this is so important. yes and we importante So I'm going to read it again. but wellier then wevo All right.
00:06:12
Speaker
You have to remain faithful to the things you've been taught because tinniquear fiel isis koas portque this is the important part. know and sa you can those who taught you. eusca the inignnaro So in other words, ennora palaras and this is why hipporeso saysto you need to be careful indian is getting there qui that what you listen to. cal look is puchas Paul is instructing, ala this was a spiritual son, and he said, look, you know do service that what you've been taught they look if we still oh up and this is right
00:06:56
Speaker
It's a fruit on that person's life shows you that they are somebody who can be trusted. They have a track record of doing what's right, of teaching what's right, of being anchored in the Word of God. Whenever somebody tries to pull you away with some fresh revelation nobody else has had and they're using scripture to prove it you need to be careful. In fact Paul Paul talks about Timothy's
00:07:36
Speaker
heritage. this say He said the fate that was in your grandmother gustavan and in your mother, right? He's saying there was a heritage there. yeah We can see only na the root was fair of where he's that came from. on there be know It's established and strong. saddle Right? So that where when we're listening to somebody, thmoes guchanddo i'm not saying you can never listen to anyone. But I'm saying if you're going to take it in, you you you should know, hey, is this somebody is this iga that can be trusted? was Right? gofialo
00:08:07
Speaker
That Paul told him that. bablo edijo It's something you can trust. to kiwe inque pu confiar All right, so, wait how many of you are here do still kissak key have ever heard anoido that women should not they love teach men or women shouldn't preach? No one's ever heard that? nu i gonna each other so ah Okay, several people. All right, so, we no I just want to share this so because I think when we talk about deception, Sometimes we think it has to be some big thing, geuna kosa grande but it can be something with a set i go just a little off. poquito Usually deception has some truth in it din it this is better than because if it didn't, pocasinola tuira people wouldn't follow it. All right, so for fun, let's go read this scripture. All right.
00:09:05
Speaker
all right It's in 1 Timothy. It's in 1 Timothy. Chapter 2. first or chapter two cappiullodos
00:09:17
Speaker
And we'll start in verse 9. And i want women to be modest in their appearance. ahra assist me with talaz muherrez They should wear decent and appropriate clothing they say at abbisosennoasspalaas avito onessto and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair <unk>renza imoestia or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothing. I'm going to pause for one second. but So how many you ever heard that?
00:10:01
Speaker
There are whole denominations that teach i sit that. Pastor Chelsea, take your earrings and your necklace off. What are you doing? is all oh yes get thr Let's keep reading. imaactin lay and For women who claim to be devoted to God see noise as buas overas commo combi lez muherreque pro and op people should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

00:11:36
Speaker
An entire denominations build an entire doctrine over this verse.
00:11:45
Speaker
Nobody stopped and said, wait a second. Can you tell me? What is being saved in childbirth? Have to do with what he's talking about. Anybody?
00:12:03
Speaker
Oh, it's because women are supposed to stay home and have babies, right? de gekain casid dener nino solamante correct Is that it? ewes All right, so and don't say I'm going to break down something for you. well yeah But first, does anybody know who mean i mean this letter is written to? where square What is city and kiss you that forreta is is Timothy preaching in? in quaistta themotere ricando Anybody?

Speaker
are you ephesus they The city of Ephesus. in las youda the ephesus All right, and in ephesus in Ephesus, do you know who they worshipped? aquinabu raba And first of all, can I just pause right here? This is why it's so important it's and important that you know the Bible for yourself.
00:12:48
Speaker
but la palara That you're in this word for yourself. that's in lapala butla Because otherwise, someone can take a scripture like this. build a doctrine over it, and you don't have other scriptures youno tenes autotra system that make you go, wait a second. they are se aser peratto I think we might be missing something. My point isn't to go into the whole of everything about women preachers, but I am just going to mention two quick verses for fun. Paul, the same person that wrote this, in Romans 16, talks about Junia,
00:13:23
Speaker
in roman sixteen romanos the esise talks about ah juia they a female apostle. Paul, he talks about, he can answer. Paul also shares in a compar in Acts chapter 18 how Priscilla, go more but a woman, helped teach Apollos, so a man. There are tons and tons of other scriptures, but if you didn't know no have the word for yourself, ilara portti mis more you could hear that small and be like, oh, you so it's not true. always better that And lots of people have read that and said it's true. Now before I explain it, because I won't leave you hanging on a cliff there, look at montener ten e como candi say
00:14:11
Speaker
I just want to share how strong, how many of you know who they worshipped in Ephesus? hakien aburavan in ephesus Nobody knows who they worshiped. All right, it was the goddess ada and la Artemis. Artemis, que era una diosa.
00:14:28
Speaker
So some it's the same as ah Isis and the same as Diana. dia not Not this Diana. Not not her. i study and Yeah, not her. But this is the goddess that they worshiped.
00:14:42
Speaker
in Ephesus and ethes and I want to show you how a strong it was in that community. So we're going to Acts 19. It says about that time and is it the import serious trouble developed in Ephesus los perrolyas lia in syria concerning the way ablanddo that which is what Christianity was called before it was called Christianity. It began with Demetrius it began with demetris and peso con demitru a silversmith via aquaia who had a large business gaenia and nego so manufacturing silver shrines as in the platas of the Greek goddess Artemis. He kept many craftsmen busy. this dado alos li say articio de cara canan He called them together los ellos humta along with others employed in similar trades
00:15:36
Speaker
we just caianlo mual and address them as follows e Gentlemen, all that is you know our wealth comes from this business. guess i be there storydiho Okay, so I'm going to pause there and just explain. up how say yesplicka People would make worship.
00:15:54
Speaker
it help soul knowledgeous to ephicus as iban to worship this is barragora And the in Ephesus, even i the temple to Artemis is one of the seven worlds of the wonder. It was huge. All right.
00:16:12
Speaker
So let's continue. Vamos a continuar.
00:16:17
Speaker
But as you have seen and heard, ah siowabi storyri though this man Paul has persuaded many people este pablo this is noso lamente that handmade gods aren't really gods at all. si know auchos vente a cailo dela And he's done this not only here in Ephesus, yeah out a parte contola pursue but throughout the entire providence. you see and ok Again, remember I said people traveled from all over. This yeah is a big business. it own in we grand That's why they you were concerned. It wasn't just here. ah those musola in the ea
00:16:48
Speaker
ah you And then, of course, he has to justify himself. in ahusiffi So he says, of course, he's alaal I'm not just talking about the loss of public respect for our business.
00:17:00
Speaker
So he's saying it's not just about the money, but really it was. I'm also concerned that the temple yeah um of the great goddess Artemis will lose its influence and that Artemis and that artemus this magnificent goddess worshiped throughout the providence of Asia la gu andra discetola as yeah and all around the world iareor elmundo will be robbed of her great prestige.
00:17:33
Speaker
baerro robotati say deundre At this their anger boiled in tonce ayesos style and they began shouting, great is Artemis of the Ephesians. sunday is diananna they lost a peaces Soon the whole city we put on thisto was filled with confusion. is that youellaa confuion Confusion. oh i' nervous all right a and the Everyone rushed to dragging along
00:18:02
Speaker
and erristaches ya arista who were Paul's traveling companions from macadonia they Macedonia. Paul wanted to go in too, palo but the believers won't let him. berolori nalo deharron Some of the officials of the providence, aa sitto de lo so principal friends of Paul, also sent a message to him begging him not to risk his life by entering the amphitheater.
00:18:31
Speaker
Inside, aentro the people were all shouting. Some one thing. Some another. utra sotra cosa Everything was in confusion. dolo ista in confuion I love this part. um In the fact, is mass most of them no saan didn't know why they were there. poquetanai Okay, so umarran and like this is like, huh?
00:18:54
Speaker
oh this is like a great picture of it theuna deception right following the crowd like everybody's running in let's run in we don't know why we're protesting but we're protesting I see that all the time fact I saw is mass there was this lady press yeah protesting very someone came up and and they said can you little heroes tell me what you sign is may when see the casssetta but look at thr and isainger She didn't even know the definition of the word on her side. yeah ni sala She didn't know what she was protesting, look but she was out there protesting. saraciendolo
00:19:35
Speaker
Right? All right. so So just to recap here, this but ah this umres woman people came from all over to worship. So there's a huge moneymaker.
00:19:46
Speaker
So then the Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander forward up puchaon alejaro and told him to explain the situation. in a sieronquelickara laitosio ah Long story short, let's go to ah caanddo li so For two hours, a portboora they started shouting again i dontnarita thanue for two hours.
00:20:07
Speaker
great is artemis of eesian get and great as arteist of eic alienian hours of or is werolianddoes And then finally the mayor comes, quiets them down. it in Verse 35, he says, citizens of Ephesus, is suealanos they everyone knows that Ephesus this say total seven k nefio is the official guardian k s elardian office of the temple of the great Artemis the a te this is the whose image fell down to us from heaven. Since this is an undeniable fact, as siomo eop where i said this a contraico
00:20:45
Speaker
you should stay calm and not do anything rash. vico uelis you knower nada as yet You have brought these men here, asla theostos open but they have stolen nothing from the temple. And they haven't spoken against our...
00:21:02
Speaker
goddess, and then he said, look, we could get in trouble for writing. If the craftsmen have an issue, they can take it to court. So I wanted to share this so you could see from the Bible how entrenched in society the worship of Artemis was. So in Ephesus,
00:21:27
Speaker
they They had this in fso rock thing that they believed had fallen from heaven, an image from heaven. It was in the temple it sal ni and that's why people came from everywhere that but to worship. um mudo algorara It was a completely pagan culture. Alright, so religion any guest in ton per about anything about they lo this religion is taly hy Artemis the goddess? So I'm going to tell you a little bit about it. Because poque this
00:22:03
Speaker
esto remember like what Christianity is brand new. The only religious people teaching the people in Ephesus and lady heakkatina unless they were Jews you knowera quoiloss was this goddess Artemis. And she yeah yeah was the goddess of fertility. And They had priests and priestess. because the niensa said all this And so part of the worship i mean but the la is that the women, is gala mokere they would dress up with fine jewelry. They would do their hair. They would wear na and clothing at that time which would be considered provocative. get up
00:22:44
Speaker
ah ropa So that was part of the worship is they would dress up like this and then obviously they would leave offerings of jewelry ah and or clothing yes to this goddess i study of Artemis and they believed yeah ask korea that women gela muherrez were, they were the first, they were yeah created first, they were we predominant. meron erran dominante so And this was their worship. So they would pray last you an to Artemis ol avan aen that they would have a safe childbirth or they would die quickly they had a murra sim if they died in childbirth. And so i mean they would if they had a safe childbirth, they would bring gifts and put on the altar. when and eatre if someone died in childbirth, they would take the clothes the person died in and bring it to the temple of Artemis.
00:23:35
Speaker
the end They would do these huge processions inistry a stas quoas in Like I said, they were both men and women, but women were really at the focal point it of and this worship in Artemis. All right.
00:23:51
Speaker
So now we're going to go back bamosa reg grissar to our verse and resta verso where Paul don de pablo is trying to explain nottatanno deplicka to pagan people alaanttepa who grew up their whole life worshiping Artemis adorando artemis adeenna How to behave in church. All right. yeah butno So let's go back to our verse. First Timothy. verse 9. First thing he says.
00:24:18
Speaker
chapter two verse nine ni delo those besonue first thing he says napri me kosaque el dijo All right, i women I want women to be modest yokiroque and harrisre and in this appropriate clothing oh in and wear decent and appropriate clothing get usen they say a ropa case ona and not draw attention to themselves either say e no atraer and by the way they fix their hair the lamanira and by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothing. So, Pause. So he's saying, that in toli studies and don't worship like the priestess did don no when they were worshiping Artemis, and they would get all dressed up and do their hair and wear tons of fine jewelry corn and wear immodest clothing, basic and they would do these processions. but
00:25:05
Speaker
He's saying, don't do that. we don't That's not how we worship us you know as Christians, because verse 10, as a christian como Christian, women who claim to be devoted to God, as Christian,
00:25:19
Speaker
a ah eombbina muherrequeproen should make themselves thereian the assets attractive or atraev by the good things they do. that supposed as winners gas So he wasn't saying goes in noa see women can't wear jewelry at all. no whether usa allla He was addressing is theba the worship, the way they worshiped and saying don't do that.
00:25:42
Speaker
kahole noa graeso All right, so I'm going to, because this could take a while to go through. So I'm going just really quickly these rapamin Women is the same word ellamima but as a wife. care is They didn't have a different word than wife. So... gay commo is supposedla mima pala What was happening again, if you look historically in the church, see connoe likeoria de liles the wives were correcting the husbands in front of everyone in the service, being very loud and disruptive. Again, because they came from this pagan place of worship. inand du lugar para And he was saying, no. down in this sin don't no
00:26:20
Speaker
When somebody is teaching, you be quiet. When your husband is speaking, don't speak over him and correct him in every front of everyone. you look cor he has and Don't do that. Listen quietly. gu chuck with Behave yourself in church. a not travez a in illegalia And then verse he says study c and because made Adam again una is man he's pointing out it that punando This is not what you've grown up learning. It's not and women were created no first, women are women hope the preeminent.
00:26:56
Speaker
ah No, it is that's not it. it's one ways Then we go to verse 15 and he says, but he said women will be saved through childbearing and suddenly that makes sense. he Because he's saying, look, it isn't by worshiping Artemis and doing all these things you learned ah but in in your pagan worship and to allorassum but to be saved during childbearing. sal but You have that same blessing always us as a Christian commo christiania if you live in faith, in if you make Jesus your Lord, if you live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty, yes
00:27:39
Speaker
baby You don't need to worship Artemis anymore. You can gain that by worshiping Jesus. Alright, does that make sense? or does he maintain them If you look who he's writing to, what he's explaining, Right? Because we have lots of other scriptures. In fact, even in the Old Testament, we all know Deborah. God made a judge ruler over everybody. So sometimes, like with this scripture,
00:28:10
Speaker
and like with this scripture commo cones People will take it, late lo to create an entire doctrine around it, and this is just one piece, right? perlacios sola But that's how deception happens, and people so easily get into it. we ailmentese meeting But how many of you know, on to sa if someone started teaching that, but you knew the word of God, mero toconnoela pallabra rios you could say, wait a There are so many instances i muha of women portilla and mins in the Bible. in labiblia How can
00:28:48
Speaker
that be true We believe this message has been a blessing to you. John 3.16 says, for God so loved the world, and that includes you. The miracle of Jesus's death brought salvation to your doorstep.
00:29:02
Speaker
If you're ready to receive it, let's pray together. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for loving me. Thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. I believe with my heart that God raised him from the dead for my justification, and I confess that Jesus is Lord over my life.
00:29:19
Speaker
I receive righteousness into my spirit. Thank you, Lord, for forgiving my sins. Jesus didn't wait for people to come to him. He went to them. thanks to you, our partners, so do we.
00:29:34
Speaker
You've helped take church beyond four walls and into real lives. If you're not giving monthly yet, join us. Let's keep going where Jesus went.
