The Bible is the Word of God and we must take heed to it. Even IF supposed leaders and teachers misuse the Word of God for their own selfish purposes, or simply do not know how to interpret Scripture, we must not then throw away the Bible’s sound doctrine, especially when it contains solemn warnings. We risk great loss if we disregard our Lord’s words of warning about “outer darkness” simply because others have abused the teaching.
One of the places this term—“outer darkness”—is used is in the parable of Matt. 22:1-14, a parable using the scene of the “wedding breakfast.” Below I provide a link to a sound exposition of this parable by the able and godly teacher, G. H. Lang. All threats of “outer darkness” aimed at keeping saints loyal to the “LR” are to be rejected as misuse of Scripture. The “outer darkness” in this parable can only apply to disciples who are disobedient to CHRIST, not disobedient to certain leaders or movements. The gaining of the 1,000 year kingdom reward, or the loss thereof, hinges upon our loyalty to Christ Himself, His Word, and His genuine working in our lives.
I beg you to forget any threats from those who want you to follow them. Remember the words of Paul concerning our sole loyalty: And the context of these verses is directly related to false apostles who were trying to lead the believers astray after themselves.
(2Co 11:2) For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.
(2Co 11:3) But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
HERE it the link to the parable in Matt. 22:1-14.
