Vanity: Beware of False Prophets, False Prophecy
Excerpts from http://bible.cc/matthew/7-15.htm ^

Posted on 12/24/2011 1:00:53 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Excerpts:

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Kings 13:18 The old prophet answered, "I too am a prophet, as you are. And an angel said to me by the word of the LORD: 'Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water.'" (But he was lying to him.)

Jeremiah 23:16 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.

Ezekiel 22:27 Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain.

Daniel 11:34 When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them.

Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Matthew 24:11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible.

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

Luke 6:26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.

John 10:12 The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.

Acts 13:6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,

Acts 20:29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.

Romans 16:17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.

2 Timothy 3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

2 Peter 2:1 But 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 4:1 Dear 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.

Revelation 16:13 Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Revelation 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Eliza was a devout Mormon. At age 38, she became Joseph Smith's 14th plural wife (in addition to Smith's lawful wife, Emma). In 1842, after learning Eliza was pregnant, Emma Smith beat Eliza with a broomstick and knocked her down a flight of stairs, causing Eliza to miscarry Smith's baby.

If Joseph Smith was a special prophet of God, why didn't the angles come down and talk to Emma about Joey's new wife and her being pregnant?

I guess this is just another Mormon story that's swept under the rug.... Oh, bad joke.

There is a difference between being ‘anti-Mormon’ and being ‘anti-MormonISM’. The heresy of Mormonism is something that every Christian should fight. Had I had more info, it would have spared me years of being Mormon myself.

Today I have spent my time with my family. My son and daughter. My wife. My grandchildren. A couple of fly-bys from aunts and uncles.

There was some news earlier that one of the kids’ friends was killed in a car accident early this morning. Skater boy. And with the variance between ages of sons, daughters, brothers and sisters he was the little one. The youngest of the group. 17.

I live in a small town. About 3,000 people. And God forbid most of them are Mormons.

The kids had a vigil at dusk down at the skate park. And now several are here distressed and in lament. I’m such a hateful and evil bastard they have the full confidence that when they are in my house they are home.

How can anyone forgive him for the smartass things he posted on my wife’s FB page?

In my little made up religion Brock is in the safe and loving arms of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas.

There are Mormons who are Christians and will see the Kingdom of Heaven.

- - - - -
It is IMPOSSIBLE to believe in Mormonism and be a Christian. If you truly accept Christ, you will leave Mormonism sooner rather than later.

I speak from experience and can name many other ex-Mormon’s who would tell you the same thing, even here on FR.

To: Elsie; one Lord one faith one baptism

**** without “church tradition”, how would we KNOW which books are canonical and which are not? for example, without “church tradition” why do you accept the Book of Hebrews as Scripture,****

If I remember my history, the Roman church rejected Hebrews but accepted Revelation.

The Greek church accepted Hebrews and rejected Revelation.

So in the final compilation of scriptures each agreed to allow both those books in the Bible.

So Church Tradition had nothing to do with these two books.

Mormonism is a gospel of works, not grace. They denounce salvation by Grace. They cannot accept a false Christ and be saved and Mormonism teaches a false Christ.

I can give you specifics if you would like.

I know it is hard to deal with the fact that family members are headed for Hell and not really Christians, but deluding yourself into thinking Mormonism is anyway Christan will not help your family see the truth.

Nana isn’t saying that at all. She speaks the truth. Mormonism is completely incompatible with Christianity.

There is no ‘smorgasbord’ of belief in Mormonism, you either accept ALL of it, or it all falls away (you accept none of it). You either trust Joseph Smith (Mormonism) to save you or you trust the Christ of the Bible (who is not the ‘christ’ of Mormonism). You cannot have it both ways.

I know many Ex-Mormons who are now Christians, MANY, including myself and several on here, and if you accept Christ, truly trust HIM and not the LDS church for your salvation, you leave Mormonism and VERY VERY quickly. Once someone sees Mormonism for what it is and accepts salvation by Grace through faith in Christ, sitting through LDS services IS PURE HELL. Been there done that and think of vomiting every time I think about LDS sacrament meeting and what they teach.

I have yet to meet a Mormon who can understand the Bible even at the basic level. If they try, they end up leaving like I did.
