What does the Bible say about the dangers of religious lies?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns that religious lies can deceive believers and lead them away from the truth of the Gospel.

In Galatians 4, the Apostle Paul expresses concern for the Galatian believers, who had been deceived by false teachers promoting a distorted version of the Gospel. These false apostles appeared zealous for the Galatians but aimed to exclude them from the true Gospel and fellowship with Jesus. This manipulation is characterized by a 'lie cloaked in the garb of religion,' which can be more dangerous than blatant sin, as it leads to spiritual blindness and separation from Christ. The reality is that those who promote these lies often do so with impressive rhetoric, yet their end results are detrimental, as seen in 2 Thessalonians 2:11, where God sends a strong delusion upon those who do not love the truth.
