Spiritual teachers and Hypocrisy
1 Timothy 4:2
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [KJV]
These people will speak lies disguised as truth. Their consciences have been scarred as if branded by a red-hot iron. [God's Word, 1995]
Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. [NIV 1984]

The branded Iron, means the "Iron or Material World", Being marked by the "world", to do works of the world instead of working for God.
I would like to think of the Conscience as the Holy Spirit... having it scarred by the lies of the world... it cannot fully function in them, because they follow the works of the world instead.

They are branded as criminals by the mark of the Beast (the mark of the world).
