FALSE TEACHERS

If they were fish, they would be blowfish like this one. They are not blowfish, but they are definitely blow-hards!

This man is not a false teacher but has features false teachers strive for. He appears to be:

distinguished, scholarly, elegant, refined.

But if we could see past their pious exteriors and see how ugly and dangerous they really are, we would recoil in fear.
