false prophets

[Artemus Prime]

Politicians are not prophets. Prophets are Religious folk. They can be called Prophets, Pastors, teachers, or leaders. They influence the flock with what they say.

False prophets lead the flock astray, for many do not have a connection with God and don't know the Scriptures, a very dangerous condition. They lead people into lies and half truths, and thus delusion. Consider the Laodicean church of Revelation 3:14-22. These people are in delusion, thinking that they are 'tight with God', when in fact Jesus is ready to 'Spew them out'. Of course, that couldn't apply to any today?

How did they get into that condition? They blindly followed there religious leaders into delusion. They were not noble Bereans who searched the Scriptures diligently for themselves.

Now a very sobering scripture is 2Thes where God gives the religious over to their delusions:

2th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

When those who have access to the truth, twist and spin it to meet their own desires, or are to lazy to search Scripture as for hid treasure, God sends them a delusion that they are right, when they are all wrong. This is exactly what is happening in the Lukewarm churches, the 'spewing out' is God giving them over to the delusion that they are 'rich and increased with Spiritual goods, knowledge and phoney righteousness.

The most frightening thing is that after so many warnings of false prophets and teachers, so many people just accept whatever they are told without question and deep investigation just because someone has a degree from some religious institution or Seminary as if they are immune from deception and error.

God Bless,

"The most frightening thing is that after so many warnings of false prophets and teachers, so many people just accept whatever they are told without question and deep investigation just because someone has a degree from some religious institution or Seminary as if they are immune from deception and error."

Well said here, Dennis...and I agree. As I've said around the Boards here time and time again, there needs to be an integration, rather than a separation, of faith and learning. It is indeed disheartening to see so many just blindly accepting what an individual or an institution states, without "doing the homework" so to speak...good post! Blessings, A.P.

Some of the gift ministry list includes....

apostle, prophet, evangilist, pastor, and teacher

a teacher that teaches truth is a teacher, but one that teaches lies is a false teacher. The same with each of those on the list.

By Comparison....

Some of the divisions of the construction industry includes....

carpenter, electrician, mason, plumber, and roofer

Anyone doing construction will tell you that whatever trade specialist is needed (example roofer), you can not just substitute another trade specialist (example electrician) and have the proper results. The same is true regarding ministry, the positions are not swappable as though one is not different from the other.

Also, if the plumber tells you he glued the pipes together, when you turn on the water pressure, the truth will be declared by the result.

Every tree is known by it's fruits, and the result of false prophecy is that the prophecy does not come true (therefore it is false) or the prophet encourages you to serve other gods, even if the prophecy comes to pass, still the person is a false prophet.

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be good or not. If someone practices lying, they are liars, and if they say, This is what God is saying, when God is not saying, they are lying prophets.

do you feel there is false prophets now?

There have always been false prophets (from the time of Moses until now)

The Day Of The LORD Will Shortly Come

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish,

for joy that a man is born into the world.

And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

John 16:20-22

Jesus The Christ Will Rule

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Matthew 6:9-10

Comfort Each Other

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4:14-18

Trust God

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Revelation 22:12

Be Blessed Beloved Of The LORD
