Deception

It was either Sun Tzu or Von Cluauswitz who said all warfare is based on deception. I Think it was Sun Tzu in the art of war. The Lord Jesus also said

4 ¶ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

The Apostle Paul said

³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

Then of course there is the story of the old prophet...in 1 Kings 13 verse 18

18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

The prophet of the Lord God Almighty paid a heavy price for listening to and believing a fellow prophet. The Bible actually calls him a man of God. Yet he was decieved by a fellow prophet and paid the ultimate price,ie he was killed by a lion. He listened to the old prophet and thus disobeyed the Lord and paid the price. Death!
