The Bible doctrine about God, as well as God's revelation of Himself in Creation, has suffered at the hands of carnal reasoning since the fall of man (Romans 1:18-25). The mind of man in its fallen condition presents a very formidable obstacle to his coming to a complete knowledge of the truth (2 Corinthians 10:5).
Although we often say, "I don't see how" some person or group can believe, or not believe, a particular concept, we are plainly told by the Word of God that "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Corinthians 2:14), and "the carnal mind is enmity against God" (Romans 8:7). See also Ephesians 4:17-19.
While all of God's truth has been & continues to be assaulted by those who "speak evil of those things which they know not" (Jude 10), it seems the central target of "false teachers" (2 Peter 2:1) is the Person & Work of our Lord. "Denying the Lord" (2 Peter 2:1), "denying the Son" (1 John 2:23), seems to be the favorite endeavor of those who are intent upon "beguiling unstable souls" (2 Peter 2:14). This is not surprising, since Satan himself, the "father of the lie" (John 8:44), mounted a personal & direct attack against the Lord Jesus at His birth & on through His earthly life (Revelation 12:4; Matthew 2:13; 4:1-11. Satan had no success in his efforts at tempting the Son of God, so now he is set upon distorting, perverting, and setting aside the Word of God (Matthew 7:1-13; Isaiah 8:20; 1 Timothy 4:1-2, 5:15).
