They will bring division in the church by distorting and departing from the word. They will lay down truth alongside the falsehood and secretly bring in destructive heresies. With the truth, they lay Scripture next to their own false interpretations. This is either a malicious, or ignirant intent to deceive, arising from their being deceived first, propagating the same lie they believe, usually for their own prosperity.

Its amazing that false teachers are not rejected for their distorted teachings but are actually embraced. Support is not lacking for these men, but is overwhelming. But this only gives them confidence that they are right and puffs them up further for future revelations of the Spirit. (We have heaped up teachers for ourselves in the last days). They come to us in “sheep's clothing” and appearing harmless. We're not talking about the cults, we're talking about those who rise from within the Church and promote false doctrine, deceiving and turning many away from their purity and devotion to Yeshua Ha Mashiach. By covetousness they exploit people, deceiving them. They make people want things of the world, promoting the lust of the eyes and the flesh and the pride of life. Money is always a part of their message. They justify their own worldly ways by having others do the same. They coerce the scipturally ignorant into sowing their seed for prosperity. False teachers do what the devil did with the scripture when he quoted it to Jesus. They quote true things and lift them out of their context. Theirs is always a curve or twist in the pitch. They promise a quick fix for the emergencies of life, however, God works with the person slowly to get his purposes done. Discounting an intervention of a miracle from his hands, God is teaching us patience, endurance, and certainly godly knowledge as he walks us through this life of trials.
