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.

What? You don’t speak English and understand words ?

Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
Gal 1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
Gal 1:3 Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Gal 1:5 To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Some churches spew hatred
___________________________________

This is about Mormonism...

All Mormons “spew hatred”

The Mormon doctrines from the start were hatred of the LORD Jesus Christ, Christians, and Christianity..

All mormons MUST “sustain” what the Mormon doctrines say..

the “Lord’s Day” is the first day of the week, the day Jesus rose from the dead.

says who? You. Your church tradition - which has no validity with me?

As far as Heaven let's peek at Is.66:22,23 and read about (gasp!) Sabbath keeping! Or Psalms 19-7-9 The Law is perfect - (except for that pesky 4th commandment?)What did Paul say? The Law is holy, just and good. Romans 7:12 Gee, I don't know

Last question, so get this one right. What did Jesus say to do IF YOU LOVE HIM? Read John 14:15 if you didn't already know the answer.

If you believe the Bible to be the Word of God, then yes, it applies to all men who falsely claim to be a prophet.

As another FReeper pointed out some time ago...

Christ said that upon His return, it would be for all the world to see, not secretly in the woods with a teenage boy.

I don’t for one minute believe that either of the two you mentioned or their successors were/are prophets. Besides both of the ones mentioned failed the basic tests of a prophet...they both gave wrong revelations.

The Bible says you don’t get do overs in that category...sorry.

Merry Christmas to you and yours Jim and thank you for all you do.

Yes, Fred he did. The Bible says he took 30 coins of silver to betray Christ and after he saw what was happening to Christ he tried to give it back. Then he went and hanged himself. Yup, I believe that he did.

This fred, says it all:

Matthew 26:25:

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

I think that is pretty clear. Don't you? If not, reread my prior post.

So questioning the legitimacy of 2 self proclaimed mormon “prophets” makes FR an “anti-mormon” website?

***And the difference between hanging out with some of them and hanging out on this thread is???***

Christians on this thread agree with one another across denominational lines.

Only those who consider themselves the “only true church” such as the Mormons, are like the Pharisee who said...” Thank God that I am not like other men..”

there you go again with the Ellen White glasses.

if you take them off, you will see Isaiah doesn’t say the 7th day Sabbath will be kept in heaven. from sabbath to sabbath is the way OT Jews tracked time.
the law is perfect and Jesus kept it perfectly because man can’t.
the commandements Christians keep is the command to love God and our neighbor as our self.

anyone who has read Church history, knows the Church received the teaching from the Apostles to keep the first day of the week because this is the day Jesus rose from the dead.

Ellen White was a false prophetess who led many straight to hell.

where are those post-Pentecost NT verses teaching us to keep the Sabbath?

There are false prophets, false teachers, and false Christs misleading people.

They should be treated with the same seriousness we treat people who slip razor blades or drugs in candy at Halloween.

And I simply don’t.

There was a plan.

My personal belief in Christ leaves no one out.

Hey. Peter denied Christ. But what is the status of Peter now?

Judas was a man with a terrible burden. With the Mercy he lives forever.

I wouldn't bother posting Scripture to OLOF - he doesn't believe God's Word is THE FINAL AUTHORITY.

Let him resort to his man made teachings/beliefs - like the mormons do. Some are hell bent on being deceived.

Merry Christmas, BB

God's Word is THE FINAL AUTHORITY for HIS CHURCH.

I hate to correct you, but “all Mormons” do not spew hatred.

My father was sick and not working when I was young. If it were not for Deseret Industries, we may not have had food.

As I said before, my father’s family has been raised in the Mormon Church. They have shown love in many different ways.

Please do not say ALL about any religion. Jesus is about the individual.

Isaiah doesn’t say the 7th day Sabbath

Oh yes. Those catholic colored glasses won't let you see the TRUTH. Maybe he meant the 1st Day Sabbath? Show me the verse for that one.

the Church received the teaching from the Apostles to keep the first day of the week because this is the day Jesus rose from the dead.

People were COMMANDED to keep the first day of the week holy instead of the Sabbath! Are you sure? My Bible don't have that commandment. When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments (wrote by Gods own finger!) in stone, do you think stone signified permanence or did God just make a mistake?
