Correct answers:
- receiving sound instruction from godly people
- diligently reading the Bible
- learning Christian doctrine
Brief explanation:
- Scripture knowledge and regular Bible reading (Acts 17:11; 2 Tim. 3:16–17) equip believers to test teachings.
- Learning sound doctrine and receiving instruction from godly, Scripture‑grounded teachers helps identify error (Titus 1:9; Heb. 5:12–14).
- “Pretending false teaching exists” and “deciding we know better than the pastor” do not help — the first is deceptive, the second is prideful; discernment requires humility, accountability, and grounding in Scripture.
