Listen and watch. And of course pray for discernment. Few take the time to exercise their gifts because we tend to look on the outside and not the spirit which can only be revealed by The Lord. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How might one recognize them? Most people would not recognize the true wolves in sheep’s clothing because there’s many who Are indoctrinated by The church’s doctrines that come from the cemetery whoops I mean the seminary. Just because a pastor has a Dr in front of his name doesn’t mean squat. In fact most of the time I found out they are sincerely wrong. It’s not that they are deliberately teaching falsehood, they are just leaders of the blind and cannot see past the letter of the scripture. Many think because of the majority of Christians are following this doctrine or that teaching must mean it’s right.. They are following the wide gate of the majority that leads their souls to destruction. These will be the first ones to point their fingers and tell you your wrong but won’t or cannot prove by scripture where your wrong. How do you know I’m wrong if what you are claiming you yourself can’t defend. Matthew 7:13-14 King James Version (KJV) 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian discernment is important so you can see a counterfeit when these people speak. In order to do that you need to know the Bible. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing accidental or innocent about them, they have a definite motive and agenda. That's my take. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to eat sheep too, but we do not need to. We can eat other food. But the wolf has no duty towards the sheep and it only thinks of the sheep as its means to survive. But we tend the sheep, and raise it, and care for it, and even keep it as a pet…and just when it thinks we are its friend and puts its full trust in us, we slit its throat. But we do not believe we are bad. Instead we believe the wolf is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some seem to think they are experts on the Bible, and they've only read part of it. And then there are the biblical scholars and theologians who have read the Bible over and over, who don't do what God told them to do, so they still don't understand it. But then, I suppose we are all still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but are you sure about the low profile thing? A lamp is meant to be put on a lampstand (Mark 4:21). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How might one recognize them? The United States Treasury bureau does not teach their agents about all the details of counterfeit bills. There are too many to remember. Instead, it teaches/shows them very thoroughly all about the true genuine authentic money. Knowing the true (truth) enables you to recognize the false............ 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
