What does the Bible say about being deceived by false religion?

In Mark 13:6, Jesus cautions that many will come in His name claiming to be the Christ and will mislead many. This can be understood not just as individuals claiming to be the Messiah, but rather as false gospels that present a distorted image of Christ. Any message that deviates from the truth of Scripture cannot be regarded as genuine. As believers, it is essential to test every teaching against the Word of God and remain steadfast in the truth of Christ alone for salvation, recognizing that trusting in anything else will lead to destruction.
