The people of the world will<em><strong> not praise or applaud "my" doctrine</strong></em>; they are "opposed" to it, and therefore, <em><strong>if they speak well of "you" and of "your teachings," it is proof that you do not teach the true doctrine.</strong> </em>(See <a href="http://bible.cc/luke/6-26.htm">Biblos</a>.)</span></span></p>

Hence, by what Jesus says, this means Paul teaches false doctrine.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">Is Barnes' reading correct? If would be if the word "everyone" is correct. Gill, however, suggests "everyone" is not present, and thus this should be read as only when "bad men" praise you are you thus a false teacher. Gill says the following:</span></p>

The word "<em><strong>all"</strong></em>, is left out in the <em><strong>Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic; Persic: and Ethiopic versions, and is wanting in many copies</strong></em>, though it is in the Alexandrian copy; and the meaning is, it looks ill in persons, when the men of the world, wicked men, all of them, or the greater part of them, applaud and commend them; for this can never be, if they are truly religious persons, and are faithful to their principles, and upright in their practices; and do not connive at, or comply with the errors and evil ways of wicked men; for it is no bad sign, to have the good word of good men, and therefore these must be excepted, and the passage must be limited to bad men; <span style="color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">for so did their fathers to the false prophets; they spoke well of them, and heaped favours, riches, and honours upon them, that they might prophesy unto them things; </span><a href="http://niv.scripturetext.com/1_kings/22-6.htm" style="color: #0092f2;">1 Kings 22:6</a><span style="color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">, <em><strong>smooth things and deceit</strong></em>.

<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">I don't think Gill proved his case. Gill is saying in this variant of Luke 6:26 that it reads "men" not "all men." This variant does not change the implication that a sign you are a false teacher is that "everyone" speaks well of you ... meaning the vast majority of men speak well of you. Whether it say "men" or "everyone" does not change that the sign of evil doctrine is who popular it becomes. I would even say the more your message is designed to appeal to greater numbers -- such as a costless salvation, eternal security, predestination to evil (not your falt, but the 'sin in me' is to blame) -- is proof that you are a false teacher. And this squarely then becomes another prophetic message about Paul and Paulinism.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">Indeed, even Gill agrees that it still implies "men of the world, wicked men, all of them, or the greater part of them." Only if <span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1"><em>men</em> necessarily means only "wicked men" would Gil's variant have any proof of a narrower meaning than "all men." Gill then goes on to minimize Jesus' words by reading such a limitation into Jesus' words. This step was illogical and unjustified. Gill concludes that Jesus' meaning must be limited to "bad men" because "the good word of good men" supposedly cannot possibly be what Jesus is prohibitiing. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">But Gill's argument represents a false set of choices. There is a third option: there is a good smoothsounding words of good men who are deceived by false doctrine, and are false teachers, despite their sincerity, good deeds, and even signs and wonders. The choice is not so stark as between good and bad man. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">In fact, people with signs and wonders who are judged by appearances as 'good' are depicted by Jesus as potentially deceiving the very elect by the same manner as prophets of old. Those prophets, as we shall prove below, taught a license from the Law given Moses, beginning with Balaam and down to the prophets in Micah's day. Thus, Jesus intends to warn us from an apparently good religous leader(s) who claims to be prophets (not wicked men) whom we erroneously judge by appearance, and who gives us a popular message that God's Law is annulled, and we are thereby seduced from God's truth into disobedience. So apparently good people can deceive us good people who as a result are no longer truly good in God's eyes. Jesus is not talking that only notoriously evil people will praise the false prophets.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">When we study below what Jesus meant by referring to the "false prophets" of old to whom Jesus referred, we will realize that Gill and others must realize they need to explain Luke 6:26 in such a way that our minds are not piqued to ask whether Luke 6:26 has its arrow pointed directly at Paul.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">So the true question is whether Luke 6:26 is Jesus talking again about Paul because Jesus refers to the historical examples of the false prophets who "men" spoke well about. </span></p>

And what group gave praise to them? It turns out that many times religious or community authorities -- whom those who judge by appearances assume are very good people -- were spoken about as promoting false prophets -- they spoke highly of them. Why did they do so? Because these self-proclaimed leaders and 'prophets' either promised peace, a repentance-free salvation, or a freedom from the Mosaic Law (Korah's Rebellion). Jamison says Jesus is "<span style="color: #001320; font-family: 'times new roman', times; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fffefd;" data-mce-mark="1">alluding to the court paid to the false prophets of old (Mic 2:11)." </span></span></p>

The world will always flock and<em><strong> make prophets of those who preach God is only a God of mercy, and has no judgment</strong></em>.</span></p>

Hence, Jesus's "Woe" appears as another remark prefiguring a warning to us of the archetype teacher of a lawless mercy-only teaching. It was this same doctrine which marked the earlier false prophets / apostates of the Bible.</span></span></p>
