No it was meant for you.

I didn't say anything about the verse you talk about. You threw it out there and argued it as if you were arguing my point.

The Bible talks about false teachers in many pleaces. What do ferocious wolves do? They kill and destroy. False teachers deceive people off the path which leads to eternal life, and all other path leads to destruction. So, yes, they do lead people to destruction.

Matt 7:15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

and

But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death

You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD ?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.

Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds

This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.

I guess His repeated warning were a moot point then

HIS SHEEP are believers, and THEY know HIS voice because they are familiar with Him. Unbelievers do not know the voice of the Lord, and therefore are easlily led astray by false teachers.

That sure seems far more satanic than a loving God chastising His children for a purpose.
Finn's major assumption . . . and it is patently false given his own proclaimed status as saved. If he is saved now why isn't he "snorting and living it up with sex, etc.?"[
The confusion over salvation achieved for us all BY Christ and our sanctification by our efforts (works) in "love of God and each other" has been too deeply ingrained over the 2000+ years of corrupted Gospel, legoman. They cannot separate them and simply conflate them in their confusion.
If the Gospel which teaches salvation by faith, and faith alone, is available to anyone who wants it is corrupted, what "gospel" are you teaching from?

So Jesus is now teaching unbelievers who according to you can't hear or recognize the voice of God about false teachers. You couldn't make it up.

Why did Jesus repeatedly warn people about false teachers? Why is it important that they are identified and exposed? Think about that while you open a new thread about that topic. It is typical that you come in only to argue. There are false teachers among believers and unbelievers.

2 Peter 2 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
