1 Timothy 6:20
20 O aTimothy, guard bwhat has been entrusted to you, turning aside from cgodless and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called knowledge—
1 Timothy 6:21
21 which some, while professing, have agone astray from bthe faith.
cGrace be with you.
Colossians 2:8
8 aSee to it that no one takes you captive through bphilosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the celementary principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
1 John 4:1-3
Test the Spirits
aBeloved, do not believe every bspirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because cmany false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: aevery spirit that bconfesses that cJesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that adoes not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the bantichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and cnow it is already in the world.
Revelation 13:12-15
12 And he aexercises all the authority of the first beast bin his presence. And he makes cthe earth and those who dwell in it to dworship the first beast, whose efatal wound was healed. 13 And he adoes great signs, so that he even makes bfire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And he adeceives bthose who dwell on the earth because of cthe signs which were given to him to do din the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who *had the ewound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause aas many as do not bworship the image of the beast to be killed.
