That's true. It is no different from everyday relationships. Wise people only get advice from trustworthy sources that have their best interests in mind. Fools take the advice of self-serving predators that could take advantage of them. Christians are instructed to only seek counsel and comfort from the Lord, either through the advice and instruction of the pious or prayerful contemplation and fasting. And even then there is a check against demonic influence; the Lord never instructs a believer to act contrary to the teachings of Holy Scripture.
