Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful
scheming.

Ephesians 4:14 NIV

But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see; they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell; they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats. Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.

Psalm 115:4-8 NIV

Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good.

I Thessalonians 5:19-21 NIV

To the Jews who had believed Him, Jesus said, “If you hold to My teaching, you are really My disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 8:31-32 NIV

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ’ and will deceive many.”

Matthew 24:4-5 NIV

and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

Matthew 24:11 NIV

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

II Timothy 4:3-4 NIV

He appointed twelve—designating them apostles—that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach.

Mark 3:14 NIV
