Deuteronomy 11:16, “Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them” The Hebrew word for deceived in this verse is also translated as entice, seduce, enlarge, persuade and flatter. The word is defined as spacious or wide open implying that if we are too open and too trusting of man we will be fooled. To prevent being tricked, we carefully compare what man is saying against what is written in the Bible. If there is a conflict trust the Bible, not the person.
