Paul warns about men and women who outwardly appear to be in the faith, but inwardly are not transformed by the power of the gospel. False teachers and false converts bring confusion and harm to those who follow them. Scripture equips us to discern between the genuine and the counterfeit and enables us to protect ourselves from their destructive doctrines.

Verses Used:

2 Timothy 3:1-5

1. How does Paul describe the character of those who claim religion, but have not actually been transformed by the gospel? How do you see this to be true in society today?

2. How does the Bible describe the character of false teachers and their motivation? How does this contrast with the character a genuine teacher is to have?

3. 2 Timothy 3:9 says false teachers/prophets will “not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all." How are the Old Testament false prophets Jannes and Jambres a picture of that reality? How have you seen this to be true among modern-day false teachers?

4. What are we called to do regarding false teachers/converts?

5. What is the end result for false teachers/prophets?
