Screaming
For more justice
Amazonia burns
Can you hear them?

I’ll fight
To save another day
So join us
And we’ll make them leave this land

Threatening
To kill how we feel
We’ll stop them
It’ll be worth dyin’ for

When you go down
When you go down
When you go down
You go down fighting
Why? Why?
–Sepultura, “Ambush”–

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
–1 John 4:1 (ESV)–

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.
–2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (ESV)–

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
–2 Timothy 4:3-4 (ESV)–

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
–2 Peter 2:1 (ESV)–

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
–1 Timothy 6:3-5 (ESV)–

Beware of false prophets,
who come to you in sheep’s clothing
but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
–Matthew 7:15 (ESV)–

For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
–Jude 1:4 (ESV)–

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
–Ephesians 5:11 (ESV)–

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
–Romans 16:17-18 (ESV)–
