In 2 John 10, believers are told not to welcome into their homes anyone who does not bring the true teaching about Christ. In the first century, travelling teachers relied on the hospitality of others while spreading their message. This was common, and Jesus Himself sent out His disciples in a similar way, instructing them to stay with those who welcomed their message.
However, the Apostle John warns that if a teacher arrives with a distorted view of Christ, believers should not provide them with lodging or support. This does not mean Christians should avoid sharing the gospel with people from other religions or groups. Rather, it means they should not give these individuals a base from which to promote false ideas. Offering hospitality in such a situation could indirectly help spread teachings that oppose the truth about Jesus.
Psalm 1 warns against joining in with those who mock God, and this principle also applies here. Protecting the home from false influence is a safeguard for the faith community.
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!
Galatians 1:8
