SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #196

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
(Matt. 7:15)


FALSE PROPHETS are those who teach things concerning faith or morals contrary to what our Lord and His Church teach, and who therefore, in reality, teach unbelief, and are heresiarchs, seducers, and "ravening wolves," who lead others to commit grievous sins, and are the cause of their eternal loss.

[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.] (1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
