Why Does God Allow False Teachers?

When we look around the church world we se many false teachers and their theology seems to be spreading all over the church world. Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Hillsong, Elevation church, steven furtick and many other false teachers. As believers, we see many of our friends and family being deceived by false teaching and lukewarm theology. It grieves us and at times angers us. Why does God allow false teachers in the church? God allows false teachers for many different reasons, some I'm sure we don't really know about or would struggle to understand. I want to suggest two possible reasons why God would allow false teachers. The first reason is because God wants us to learn spiritual warfare. When we face false teachers we tend to want to study the scriptures, and seek God's guidance and strength. God is trying to show us that we need to grow spiritually and pray that God will train our hands for war. The Bible is the Word of God the sword of the Spirit. The second reason why God might allows false teachers is in order to test those who claim to know and love God. God allows false teachers like Joseph Prince and Joel Osteen to reveal the fact that people want to live a lifestyle of sin without feeling the conviction of sin. God allows false teachers to preach a works gospel to reveal the fact that people are prideful and want to earn their own salvation instead of relying 100% on God’s grace. God will allow prosperity preachers to reveal people’s greed. God will allow mega churches like Hillsong, C3 and Elevation Church to reveal that fact that people love the social aspect of church life more than God’s Word. They are willing to look past the false teaching, lukewarm lifestyles, sin, apostasy and greed because to reveal the fact that they are not willing to forsake friends and family for Christ’s names sake. God will allow false teachers like Todd White and Bill Johnson to preach about false miracles, healings and prophecies to reveal the fact that people want religious experiences more than the simple truth of God’s Word. They are not satisfied with Christ, they want a religious experience. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. John 10:4-5
