IF THE BLIND
LEAD THE BLIND
"But in vain they do worship me, teaching for. doctrines the
commandments of men. ... Let them alone; they be blind
leaders the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall
I fa" int0 the ditch" (Mat,hew 15:9 and

show themselves approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15).
Just as surely as there is one God and one Lord, Jesus brought
only one teaching (Ephesians 4:4-5). This one teaching (the
Scriptures) is not refused because we can not understand it, but
because we have not studied it (Ephesians 3:1-4). Christ is re
jected today and "Christendom" is divided for the same reason
the Jews rejected Christ ignorance of the Scriptures (John
5:39-40, Luke 23:34, Acts 3:17).
Peter warned that false teachers would arise, "and many shall
follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of
truth shall be evil spoken of" (2 Peter 2:1-2). This prophecy
has been fulfilled. These false teachers deny that the Scriptures
are a complete guide in righteousness, and label them a "con
fusing Book" (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Thus speaking evil of the
way of truth, the Bible, they labor to turn men to accept their
infallible? history as the true way.
Reader friend, while these and all other oppose rs of the Truth
desire us to follow them instead of the Scriptures, Jesus said:
"Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch" (Matthew
15:14). Let us learn to walk in the light of God's word, and
the blood of Christ will cleanse our sins (2 Peter 1:19-21, 1
John 1:7).
