4. The Warnings Against False Teachers (New Testament)
The New Testament frequently warns early Christians against spiritual manipulation and deceptive conditioning:
• Colossians 2:8 warns believers not to be taken captive by "hollow and deceptive philosophy."
• Romans 12:2 provides the ultimate antidote to worldly brainwashing, telling believers, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
