Pastor Riley,
	That was very timely and very gripping!
How many of us, who profess faith in Jesus, actually have a heresy, or two, that we've picked up along the way?
If that is the case, it is because we haven't been doing what you so powerfully pointed out, what the scriptures teach.
Both rightly dividing what applies to us now,
	and also to find pictures in the old testament,
	where Jesus is now seen to be far better than the old testament pictures,
	these two approaches to studying the scriptures appear to have been well done in the book of Hebrews.
If we can, even a little, study the scriptures, like the book of Hebrews does, we could be more equipped to avoid deception.
Again, Pastor Riley, that was really insightful which you wrote.
