What are the characteristics of a false teacher?

Answered in 1 source

False teachers often exhibit self-will, a lack of reverence for God, and covetousness.

Peter outlines several traits of false teachers in 2 Peter 2. They are often self-willed, exhibiting pride in their abilities rather than submitting to God's sovereignty. This self-focus leads to a dismissal of God's established order and dominion. Moreover, they are marked by a covetous spirit, using feigned words to manipulate and exploit their followers for personal gain. Such characteristics reveal their true motive: to build a following that validates their authority while ultimately leading others away from the truth of scripture.
