How should we deal with false teachers
While Scripture called for false prophets to be stoned to death in the OT, it was to keep Israel pure as the nation who was to be the light to the world, and keep His Word declared truthfully.
We in the NT or Church age or also known as the age of Grace, we can call out false teachers and religions masquerading as Christian, and do so in appropriate ways. That is also loving them, and we can pray for them and try to reason with them. We don't know when God's patience with them will wear out, or even if He sent them as a judgment against a nation that is full of sin, but we can be like Jesus and love them with a proper love. That includes exhorting, admonishing, correcting their error... and following the directions in the above image. That warns and alarms others rightly, and helps also prevent others from falling into their false teaching and false religion; esp in the digital era where millions have access to all kinds of material online and can easily fall prey to doctrines of demons.
