Matthew 7:15-17 (KJV) 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.
One of the ways to recognize a false teacher is they will only talk about love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, the promise of God, and all the good things that God will do for you. However they will not talk about God’s wrath, eternal life, judgment, anger, hell, holy living, obedience, repentance, or anything that will offend.
Reading scripture and expanding our Christian education is crucial! We must become filled with the truth in order to prevent being fooled or mislead by false prophets. It’s easy for false prophets to bend the Word to fit their own agenda. We do not want to be directed toward the wrong path so we must make studying God’s Word our top priority!
I always advise getting a mentor or learning from a God gifted bible teacher who knows how to rightly divide

Remember all of us are human even a good teacher can make a mistake so it’s best to check and make sure what they teach is in line with the Bible.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 (KJV) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I never thought about it like that but it is very true
