How to deal with false teachers or false teachings?
Many seem to be ignorant on how to deal with false teachers.

"17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”

"1 And he said to his disciples, 'Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.
3 Pay attention to yourselves!..." Luke 17.
