Amen. Is it possible for people to be wolves in sheeps clothing without knowing it?

Absolutely. They think they are doing God's service when they kill you! That's a paraphrase that I'm sure I read somewhere in the bible.

Found it:

Joh 16:2  They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

eutychus:

--- Quote from: love_magnified ---I wonder if some are not aware that their doctrine is incorrect. Are they wolves in sheep's clothing or in need of guidance? How can we distinguish? I think there is a danger in viewing anyone with doctrinal misconceptions or errors as ravanous wolves on the inside, when they are really just misinformed. What do you think?

no they think they are right everyone wants to be right.
only a humble spirit is teachable.
unless you get knocked off your horse.

Chuck, yes the need to be "right" versus seeking the Truth, the only way to obtain it (Truth) is with a humble spirit.


While it is true you can be deceived by just being gullible or even ignorant it is also true that greed, pride, self rightousness or jealousy can put one in a very prone position to be deceived.

A clever and subtle con artist such as the devil (but not limited to) can appeal to our pride and vanity and sense of entitlement making us a willing partner in our own loss or destruction.
