The significance of truthful teachings in religious establishments cannot be overemphasized. Scriptures are lucid in their denunciation of misleading teachings. According to Apostle Peter, false prophets can infiltrate any setting, subtly introducing harmful heresies while denying the Master’s existence and steadily progressing towards their own downfall (2 Peter 2:1). Through a Christian worldview, this real news reveals a plethora of instances where such individuals have endured dire outcomes.

Harking back to the Old Testament provides an account of Baal’s prophets who succumbed at Elijah’s hands (1 Kings 18). Implicitly, there is no uncertainty about God’s outlook towards those who misguide His worshippers. In the New Testament, we learn about Ananias and Sapphira who fibbed to the Holy Spirit and met with spontaneous death much like divine retribution (Acts 5:1-11).

The attitude within Scripture towards fraudulent teachers carries unerring reprimands as well as warnings. Jesus Himself cautioned against such prophets in Matthew 7:15-23– highlighting that only those performing His Father’s will shall enter heaven even if they refer to Him as “Lord.” This intimidating passage ends in the haunting quote, “I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.”

Those guilty of distorting or contradicting God’s Word face severe judgment not just for teaching inaccurately but for also challenging God’s supreme power through deliberate distortion of truth. False preachings from such transgressors reflect eroding moral values; righteousness naturally speaking from the heart.

The article goes on to reflect upon five deceitful teachers who have recently passed away after leading lives that stand testament to this fact.

In a similar vein, Dr. C. Welton Gaddy passed away on June 7th, 2023 at age 81 succumbing to health issues. As an advocate for religious pluralism and past head of Interfaith Alliance, he peddled an erroneous version of Christianity undermining the exclusivity of Christ’s path towards salvation.

Pat Robertson, founder of Christian Broadcasting Network and infamous leader charismatic “700 Club,” died on June 8th, 2023 at age 93 fraught with false predictions including wrongly prophesying Donald Trump’s re-election, exemplifying the dangers of misguiding prophecies.
