“…Likewise, in churches there are good shepherds who aim to care for the sheep. They feed them the truth of God’s Word and aim to protect them by doing this. Hirelings are professional clergymen who see ministry primarily from a career stand point. They bounce from church to church seeking higher pay and better weather. They are in ministry only for the benefits. Therefore, they neglect the sheep and don’t really teach the Word of God - ultimately endangering the flock. Wolves destroy the flock by teaching error. Also, they tend to manipulate the flock for gain.” Gregory Brown (bible.org)
False prophets come in the name of God as His representatives but live contrary to what they teach as they lead people to the wide road
