False Teachers Allure through the Lusts of the Flesh - Alexander Nisbet 1659 "There may be a very remarkable external change from vile and blasphemous opinions, idolatrous and profane practices, to a profession of truth and suitableness of the outward conversation to it, where there is no saving or inward change made of the heart, from the love of secret lusts to the love of Christ and His grace; the one without the other may be occasioned by the power of example, the majesty and clearness of truth, which is in nothing contrary to nature’s light, the beauty of holiness shining in the conversation of professors, and outward advantages which sometimes may attend the profession of truth and holiness: for these here who were yet given to the lusts of their flesh and much wantonness had once clean escaped from the blasphemous opinion and profane and idolatrous practices of those without the church, who are here called “them that live in error." 2 Peter 2:12 12 But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed, New American Standard Bible (NASB) 12 But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed http://www.puritanaudiobooks.net/ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/stack45ny After subscribing, click on NOTIFICATION BELL to be notified of new uploads.

He published commentaries on Ecclesiastes and 1 & 2 Peter. He ministered at Irvine but was ejected from his pulpit for nonconformity in 1662. "A judicious and gracious Scotch commentary, after the style of Dickson and Hutcheson." – Charles Spurgeon
