What does the Bible say about the deception of false teachers?

The Scriptures clearly indicate that Satan's design includes deceiving believers by distorting the plain truths of the gospel. In 2 Corinthians 11:14, it states that Satan transforms himself into an angel of light, indicating that his intentions are not to outright reject the gospel, but rather to corrupt its truths to lead believers astray. This insidious manipulation has found fertile ground among those who prefer to worship themselves rather than the Creator, resulting in many who profess faith in Christ still being misled by false interpretations of Scripture.
