What does the Bible say about false teachers in the church?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible warns of false teachers who will enter the church, leading believers astray with corrupt doctrines (Jude 17-19).
In Jude 17-19, the apostle Jude addresses the presence of false teachers who are described as mockers. These ungodly men are said to separate themselves from believers and are characterized by their sensuality, lacking the Spirit. Jude encourages the faithful to contend earnestly for the true gospel against these false teachings. This concern is not isolated to Jude’s time but is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures, highlighting God's intent to protect His church from those who would pervert the truth.
