DON’T BE FOOLED

“Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. 
For though I am absent in the flesh,
yet I am with you in spirit,
rejoicing [c]to see your good order
and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 
rooted and built up in Him
and established in the faith,
as you have been taught,
abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Beware lest anyone cheat (deceive) you through philosophy and empty deceit,
according to the tradition of men,
according to the basic principles of the world,
and not according to Christ. 
For in Him dwells all the fullness
of the Godhead bodily;  
and you are complete in Him,
who is the head of all principality and power.”
(Book of Colossians 2:4-10)

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.  For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.” Jesus
