Does a false prophet know they're false

[Heb 13:8]

what do u think, i trying to solve the mystery

2 Cor 4:4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

There are no prophets, as new revelatory 'thus saith The Lord', today unless you believe in the open canon of The Scriptures... which is blatantly ignoring the seal God had John place upon The Scriptures.

Jesus already said how we would recognize false prophets.

"You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?" - Matthew 7:16

 

Yes, by their fruits!

"Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous." - 1 John 3:7

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
    unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me." - John 15:4

 

If a prophet is true, he will preach and practice the truth. And consequently, they will bear fruits from the truth.

"He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked." - 1 John 2:6

"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another,
    and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." - 1 John 1:7

 

In the spiritual sense we are all prophets, some are true and others are false... Most are false, and by their fruits we shall know them.

"If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth." - 1 John 1:6

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God;
    because many false prophets have gone out into the world." - 1 John 4:1

 

Most false prophets do not know they are false because they walk in darkness.

"Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind.
    And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." - Matthew 15:14

 

Keep watching, praying and testing the spirits.

"And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is
    the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." - Acts 5:32

Today, any posing as a prophet is false. They most likely have convinced themselves they are a prophet

Are you sure?!

"Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven,
    for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." - Matthew 5:12

"And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that
    Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people." - Acts 3:23

"So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”" - John 20:21

Tell me, who today is speaking new revelation of Scripture just as the prophets of old did? Tell me please.

I'm talking about prophets in the spiritual sense, not about Old Testament prophets.

Today prophets just speak revelation and knowledge for edification of the church.

"But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed
    person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all." - 1 Corinthians 14:24

 

And yet many people still refuse to hear them, all because they do not love Him.

"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets,
    some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers..." - Ephesians 4:11

In short, today prophets just echo what the Lord Jesus has said:

Repent, walk holy, love one another, fear the Lord, and consequently love Him.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!
    How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,
        but you were not willing!" - Matthew 23:37

Show me in scripture the term 'prophets in the spiritual sense'. ALL PROPHETS were spiritual.

Spiritually, prophets are all those who walk professing a faith. Spiritually, they are all people (e.g. you, myself, my neighbor, etc).

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God;
    because many false prophets have gone out into the world." - 1 John 4:1

That's called prophesying not prophets in the Scriptural sense.

All people can prophesy... But not all will prophesy from the Holy Spirit.

"You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?" - Matthew 7:16

Again, name just one prophet today whose words are Scripture when they prophesy.

None. They may speak truth, but they cannot add it to the Bible.

 

On the other hand, today prophets can speak revelation, knowledge and this with agreement with Scriptures. As the truth cannot contradict itself.

"But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men." - 1 Corinthians 14:3

"...for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears
    He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." - John 16:13

"He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you." - John 16:14

I asked for you to show me from scripture 'prophets in the spiritual sense'. I'm still waiting.

It is spiritually discerned. If you are not seeing it, ask it from God.

"...how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" - Matthew 7:11

Since we can't know their walk entirely because it's the internet, can we know their fruits by what they preach? If what they preach is swimming in contradictions..

Are they preaching evil?! Are they recommending people to sin instead of repenting and coming closer to God?!

"This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare
    to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all." - 1 John 1:5

"...Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God." - Mark 10:18

"A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit." - Matthew 7:18

If false prophets can't know they're false, then God is a comedian for real. I mean, even Jesus couldn't wake them up, Matt 23.
