People point fingers, often labelling someone as a false religious messenger. However, the message should be first and foremost in this discernment. It exposes the messenger as false (not the other way around) if it deviates from the original Gospel of the Kingdom. This of course, would also mean that the Christian religion has, for the most part, been off-track since it re-joined the world of man, our way of life that Jesus rejected in the desert, simply because the religion in doing so, had to adapt itself to fit into the world. Hence, if we want to talk false teachers, the list would be endless to date, they having parroted previous false teachers, a product of this religious rebellion. The blind leading the blind down a different path, right back into the world and away from the Kingdom, simply because the blind took up where someone else left off. This, rather than going to Jesus' movements origins in order to get things back on track.
Christianity rejected the Kingdom to re-join the world of man. That's as off-track as you can get. The Kingdom is a counter-culture to the world of man. It is impossible for the two to work in tandem. Jesus was clear about this when He dealt with those of the Temple. Jesus rejected the world of man as a teacher/example, and also when in the desert with the Tempter. The same would apply today to followers that are not false teachers. They would openly be of the counter-culture, rejecting the self-serving ways of mankind, just as Jesus did. This should be considered before labelling anyone as a false teacher, often done simply because one misdirection wants to claim authourity over another. God said it is a case of Kingdom over world of man. The division is not over worldly matters like in the right/left of worldly politics that leads nowhere, but division between the ways of the Kingdom and the ways of the world of man. His Will versus ours. Choose accordingly, and use this in discernment when determining where you are being led, should you choose to follow and not to understand Jesus for yourself.
