what I remember:
God gives three groups of people that may try to mislead Israel (or it's people). First, a prophet or teacher may say "let's go worship other gods", next a friend or neighbor or relative may say something similar. Finally another city may be reported to be worshiping other gods. In the first two cases, the one encouraging someone to go away from God is to be killed. In the third case, the claim is to be verified - but if found to be true, the wayward city is to be completely destroyed and all its possessions burned.
key verse:
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God is testing you to find out if you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
about God:
God really takes misleading others seriously. It makes me nervous - what am I teaching my kids about God. Is it accurate? Does my teaching-by-example teach God accurately and Biblically? Also, God expects us to know Him and His word well enough to recognize false teaching.
