Beware of False Teachers
Kepha’s WarningKepha Bet 2:1 – 3
But there also came to be false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall secretly bring in destructive heresies,
and deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.
And many shall follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of,
and in greed, with fabricated words, they shall use you for gain. From of old their judgment does not linger,
and their destruction does not slumber.
