Wrong to marry. Even Paul taught that marriage was sometimes not the best answer (1 Corinthians 7:26), but these will teach that marriage is wrong in itself. This false idea was very quickly introduced into the church by some who claimed marriage was the invention of the evil god (Satan). They said it was sinful to bring children into this world to be unhappy and to eventually die. Out of this grew the idea that only celibacy is holy. The worship of demons and the forbidding of marriage go hand in hand. To eat certain foods. With Greek thought viewing the body as "evil and anti-spiritual," it was easy to misuse such scriptures as Romans 8:13. These false teachers said it was "holy" to deny your body the better grade of food. They generally prohibited either all meats or certain kinds, and some lived on bread and water. These things are still found among certain religious communities. But God created these foods. The Devil is not the one who is the Creator!!! False teachers were saying that the evil god (Satan) created the world and all that is in it. Some who claim to be Christians show by their actions that this is what they believe! Truth tells us that God is the Creator, and He created these foods to be eaten so that our physical bodies may preserve their measure of health.
