FALSE PROPHETS

[Guest Thomas I believe]

We should all concentrate on positivity and rejoice in Jesus. To downgrade others is that Christ like ? Those who are in falsity will reap what they sow. Instead of pointing fingers at them why not Love them as Christ told us to do and show mercy and pray for them that the truth would take hold. There sin is between God and them. Who are we to judge ? I get upset to sometimes at benny and the gang but is it right. This negativity is offspring of satan. Discernment of truth from untruth is good but lets focus on Jesus. What we most need to do is love all as Christ has instructed us to do. Our concentration should be focused towards our Lord and understanding the truth that He speaks to us ...........

Do we really need to dicuss this topic again? It has been discussed so much already.I don't see any point in starting AGAIN a list of NAMES from PREACHERS who are real and who are wrong.

I'm not against exposing them at all, in matter of fact its good to do that, but we discussed this so much already why start it again?Why not focus on what the Bible tells us about it and discuss HOW to recognize them.

Ok!

Mat 7:15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them.

Mat 24:4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you.

Mark 13:22For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect--if that were possible.

2 Peter 2:1But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.

1 John 4:1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Rev 2:2I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.

1 Tim 1:3As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer 4nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work--which is by faith. 5The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. 7They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

1 Tim 6:3If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Jeremiah 14:14 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.

Jeremiah 23:9 Concerning the prophets:

My heart is broken within me;

all my bones tremble.

I am like a drunken man,

like a man overcome by wine,

because of the LORD

and his holy words.

10 The land is full of adulterers;

because of the curse [2] the land lies parched [3]

and the pastures in the desert are withered.

The prophets follow an evil course

and use their power unjustly.

11 "Both prophet and priest are godless;

even in my temple I find their wickedness,"

declares the LORD .

12 "Therefore their path will become slippery;

they will be banished to darkness

and there they will fall.

I will bring disaster on them

in the year they are punished,"

declares the LORD .

13 "Among the prophets of Samaria

I saw this repulsive thing:

They prophesied by Baal

and led my people Israel astray.

14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem

I have seen something horrible:

They commit adultery and live a lie.

They strengthen the hands of evildoers,

so that no one turns from his wickedness.

They are all like Sodom to me;

the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah."

15 Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty says concerning the prophets:

"I will make them eat bitter food

and drink poisoned water,

because from the prophets of Jerusalem

ungodliness has spread throughout the land."

16 This is what the LORD Almighty says:

"Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you;

they fill you with false hopes.

They speak visions from their own minds,

not from the mouth of the LORD .

17 They keep saying to those who despise me,

'The LORD says: You will have peace.'

And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts

they say, 'No harm will come to you.'

18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD

to see or to hear his word?

Who has listened and heard his word?

19 See, the storm of the LORD

will burst out in wrath,

a whirlwind swirling down

on the heads of the wicked.

20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back

until he fully accomplishes

the purposes of his heart.

In days to come

you will understand it clearly.

21 I did not send these prophets,

yet they have run with their message;

I did not speak to them,

yet they have prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in my council,

they would have proclaimed my words to my people

and would have turned them from their evil ways

and from their evil deeds.

23 "Am I only a God nearby,"

declares the LORD ,

"and not a God far away?

24 Can anyone hide in secret places

so that I cannot see him?"

declares the LORD .

"Do not I fill heaven and earth?"

declares the LORD .

25 "I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name through Baal worship. 28 Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?" declares the LORD . 29 "Is not my word like fire," declares the LORD , "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

30 "Therefore," declares the LORD , "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes," declares the LORD , "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The LORD declares.' 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the LORD . "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the LORD .

"Benny Hinn Paul Cain  Rick joyner Kim Clements

they all make prophecys that do not come true "

Hmmm...

Doesn't the Bible contain lots of prophecies that have not yet come to pass? Should we then reject the Bible? .

The Bible doesn't put dates on prophecy.

This is what Benny had to say..................

"The Lord also tells me to tell you in the mid-90

[Shyguy]

Its alot easier to ignore everyone who claim to be prophets than to try and pick out who really is a prophet ( If there are any )

There isnt a single thing anyone can tell me that I need for my spritual health that is not in the bible.
