I’m at work so can’t look these scriptures up and give you their address.
In my freetime (Ha! Ha! Ha! What freetime???) I ought to look these scriptures up and commit large portions to memory.

Anyway, these verses are found in one of the Old Testament books of prophecy and the gist of them is this.

You cannot tell a true prophet from a false one by whether or not their words come true.
You tell the difference on whether or not they encourage people toward their God or against Him.
There is no mention of gender. It’s all about fruit.
A female teacher is not a false teacher by being female. Look at her fruit.
There are male teachers who are false inspite of being male. You can tell by their fruit. They turn the hearts of the people toward themselves and/or toward pet doctrines that they lift up. Some of these ‘pets’ become so important to them that these teachers and their followers trample on the true gospel, the true Words of Jesus in order to follow and obey their ‘pets’ that have turned into idols, or even monsters.

My anti-spam word was ‘proper’.
Sorry Cheryl if it wasn’t proper for me to address this ‘false vs true’ argument after you told Mark that wasn’t what this was about.
