Titus 1 Are ALL things pure to you?

Correcting False Teachers
10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision, 11who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not. 12As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith, 14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
15To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled. 16They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.

Paul's rebuke of false teachers or false followers was stern. Ours must be too. We all have seen or heard them. People that claim to be Christians but have no fruit, they follow the ways of the world and aren't set apart from others. Gossipers, liars, drunkards, druggies, these so called Christians give Christianity a bad name and turn others from the faith. They put man's works in front of the free gift of salvation! You know them! You must attend church the sabbath, you must be baptized to be really saved, you must do this or that, ENOUGH!
Stop these misguided souls before they corrupt your church. As Paul says, rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith, and pay no attention to the commands of men who have rejected the truth!

I repeat verses 15 and 16, let them sink in!
15To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled. 16They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed. Do you get that?

Are ALL things pure to you?
