“The shark is a large fish that...has (a) large appetite. In fact...he
will swallow almost anything that he can get into his mouth without
even knowing what it is. A small fish called the urchin fish, when he
encounters a shark, will roll himself into a small ball. The shark... will
swallow the urchin, but...the shark is the loser. This urchin fish is a
parasite, and once inside the shark’s stomach he unfolds and begins
to prey on the shark from within its stomach, eventually destroying
his victim completely.
“What a stupid thing it is for the shark to 'swallow' something
without first knowing what it is, but after all. are there not people in
the religious world like that? Many swallow the traditional religion
of their relatives without ever first checking to see if that is what the
Bible really teaches. Many simply swallow what their church or de- j
nomination practices and teaches simply because 'that's the way its
been done or taught for years.’ Many swallow what their 1
preachers...teach without any concern as to whether the Bible teaches j
it or not, so long as it 'sounds good*.
“....Let us examine carefully what we 'swallow,’ because, like 3
the shark, it may be too late afterward” (Oliver Murray, “ WILL j
YOU SWALLOW ANYTHING?”).
Jesus said, “Take heed what ye hear” (Mk. 4:24). We are not to ■
“believe every” teacher, “because many false prophets are gone out
into the world” (I Jn. 4:1). We must “prove all things,” and search
the Scriptures, studying to show ourselves approved unto God (I •
Thess. 5:21; Acts 17:11; 2 Tim. 2:15). Following false doctrine will ,1
cause the loss of our souls (Matt. 15:13, 14; I Tim. 4:1-3; Jas. 5:19, j
20; 2 Jn. 9-11). “Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith; /
prove your own selves” (2 Cor. 13:5).
Do not be like the foolish shark! Ask questions. Call if we may !
study the Bible with you.
