Jesus’s Words:
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Matthew 7:15-17
We all have to be on guard against believing everyone who claims to be teaching Jesus' words. Now more than ever, we must know God's word so we can challenge anyone who carefully includes tiny bits of falsehoods amongst the truth. Their message may seem on point, but that one little discrepancy could taint the entire message. These false teachers and prophets are counting on you being ignorant of scriptures so they can lead you down the pathway of destruction; they are sent by Satan to mock and confuse you. You don't have to be a scholar, but basic knowledge of God's word is essential. No one knows everything there is to know, but having Jesus and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will get you further than any false teacher. Their father is the devil, and he is full of lies. The conclusion of this is that you will know them by their fruit; a good tree will produce good fruit, but a bad tree will produce evil fruit. Always use caution; it's better to be a little skeptical at first and listen intently to their words until you are convinced of their character.
