Today we study Paul's teachings about identifying false prophets and his explanation about why it should be no surprise why they are so deceptive. We consider how we can be able to discern them today.

Elder James E Faust: Shakespeare wrote, “The prince of darkness is a gentleman”, and “the devil can cite Scripture for his purpose”. As the great deceiver, Lucifer has marvelous powers of deception. As Paul said to the Corinthians, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light”.

Some of Satan’s most appealing lines are “Everyone does it”; “If it doesn’t hurt anybody else, it’s all right”; “If you feel all right about it, it’s OK”; or “It’s the ‘in’ thing to do.” These subtle entreaties make Satan the great imitator, the master deceiver, the arch counterfeiter, and the great forger.
