2Jo 10 | MHM | STEP | Caution against Seducers. In this passage, John gives strong instructions on how Christians should respond to false teachers. He warns that accepting or supporting those who do not teach the truth about Jesus is dangerous. Christians must be careful not to help or encourage anyone who spreads false ideas about Christ, because doing so makes them part of the problem. v. 10 : John says, If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed (2 John 1:10 ). If someone comes teaching a message that denies Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah, do not welcome them as a Christian teacher or give them your support. This does not mean refusing basic help to someone in need, but it does mean not encouraging them in spreading false teaching. Christians, even those in leadership or with influence, should understand the importance of this caution.
