It is estimated that over 500,000 Americans have counterfeit diplomas or credentials. Counterfeit diplomas and credentials represent a massive, growing, multi-billion-dollar global industry, with significant impact in the United States. Experts estimate that there are over 5,000 active diploma mills, 1,500 accreditation mills, and over 500 fake diploma websites, with recent scams involving thousands of fraudulent, high-level nursing degrees.
Did you know the Church has the same problem as the world? The fakes are a constant source of irritation for the great commission.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So, it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
Make sure your hires are well vetted. Give it some thought.
