2 Peter 2:10-11 Spiritual or carnal?
2 Peter 2:10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, 11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
False Teachers appear godly, spiritual, men of faith but that is only an outward facade. Watch them, hang out with them long enough, you will see a totally different person. They cant hide their carnal appetites to very long. I remember taking Melissa out to a fine restaurant for our anniversary years ago. This local preacher of a large denomination came in with a friend, plopped down behind us, and roughly spoke, "I want the biggest baddest steak you got on this menu." No doubt, many in his church who supported this over indulgent meal could never afford such. Many False teachers, when questioned about their actions, get upset, angry, even verbally abusive. They, when out of the lime light, get very fleshly. Why? God who? More less is God watching them. They don't even believe in God. God is just a title that enriches them. The Christian music industry, not really the musicians, is often more carnal than secular industry.

Sadly true, just like it has been all throughout history.
