2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, [and] bring on themselves swift destruction.
Damnable heresies that bring on swift destruction...
When reading wording like the above, the imagery that mostly dominates our thinking is that people are struck dead on the spot who vomit false teachings and heresies, right? We all know that's not the case, but it should cause us to look upward unto the Lord, and seek His instruction, correction, and guidance so that we do not stray so far afield that we too become partakers of the seal of destruction upon us.
This is indicative of the very things Jesus warned against, and that we should receive with all sobriety!
