I Tim. 4 ... Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
One of the doctrines of devils in the Catholic Church is the forbidding of marriage for their priests (and nuns).
One day my contractor who is Catholic was complaining about the rash of pedophiles among the Catholic priests. I remarked that if they would allow their priests to marry, some of this child abuse would stop. Contractor thought about what I said and replied, "I don't know about letting them marry." I replied, "Peter was married." Contractor registered visible shock! I took Bible and showed him the following verse. Mt. 8 ... And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. 15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. Later I learned the Catholic's believe Peter to be one founder of the Catholic Church. No wonder this shocked my contractor.
Paul once spoke about apostles having the "right" to lead about a wife. I Cor. 9:3 ...Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
Jesus said ... Mt. 19 ... Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. 10His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
You can't prohibit a man from marrying. Only God can do that and sometimes God does that.
And Paul once said those who do marry will have trouble in the flesh but you have to have a "call" of God on your life not to marry. I Cor. 7 ... Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 7For I would that all men were even as I myself (not married). But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
So both men and women are free to marry unless they are divorced. (Read: Divorce & Remarriage: What the Bible Teaches)
Another doctrine of devils is the commandment in Catholic Church to abstain from meats on Fridays. There is no such doctrine of Christ in the Bible. This was added by devils. I Tim. 4 speaks of this doctrine. Paul says: and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be
received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be
received with thanksgiving: 5For it is sanctified by the word of God and
prayer.
Many years ago, I was attending a church group where a woman who called herself a prophet had a strange doctrine where she prohibited ministers from drinking coffee and other caffeine drinks. She said it could stimulate a person and make them think the Holy Spirit was leading when the stimulation was caffeine. This is another seducing spirit and doctrine of devils. (Jn. 10 Jesus said HIS sheep would not follow the voice of a stranger.)
A Baptist woman once got very dreamy eyed and said to me, "I wonder if only virgins can be prophets." I pointed out Anna. Lk. 2 ... And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
There are all sorts of strange doctrines that creep into the hearts of church people. It is important to prove the doctrine otherwise it can spread like leaven, eating through all in the house.
We do know from what Paul wrote in I Tim. 4 that in the last days, there will be seducing spirits and doctrines of devils come to the minds of people in congregation. And they will "fall from the faith" in the matter and follow another spirit.
Therefore we exhort the church continually in proper doctrine and in the way of God to pull them back from these seducing spirits and re-establish the church in scripture.
