well, as you know the Bible tells us that to determine if a prophet is a false prophet see if his prophecies come true. See if what he is saying is true. So Jesus says that unless you are born again that you will not enter the kingdom of God. He says that He is the Messiah. He says that he is going to die for the sins of the world. You dont believe He is these things, so then how, in your eyes, can He be a prophet if all these things are wrong?

John 14
13   And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14   If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Deuteronomy 18 (JPS)
(20) But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'
(21) And if thou say in thy heart: 'How shall we know the word which YHWH hath not spoken?'
(22) When a prophet speaketh in the name of YHWH, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which YHWH hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Ever ask for anything in Yehoshua's name and not get it? Ever explain it away as it not being YHWH's will, or that it must be YHWH's will was different than yours?

John 14
13   And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14   If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

There are no disclaimers, no if's or maybe's, no conditions. Yehoshua explicitly says he 'will do it'. So, when you ask in his name and he doesn't follow through with his promise...

Deuteronomy 18 (JPS)
(20) But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'
(21) And if thou say in thy heart: 'How shall we know the word which YHWH hath not spoken?'
(22) When a prophet speaketh in the name of YHWH, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which YHWH hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.
