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.

Then Martin is creditable ?
The question should be, as far as Mormonism being a cult is concerned,
"Was Martin right?"
Why are you avoiding answering that question? There are many more besides Martin who have labeled it so.
Is their credibility also in question?

Luke 1:35-37

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.”

She will accept NOTHING that is NOT blessed by SLC.

I gave her The History of The Church, which was started by Joseph Smith, Jr., continued after is death by the leaders of the LDS Church, and published by the LDS Church on the official LDS Church website, out of Salt Lake City.

How do you get any more blessed by SLC than that? I guess it's not a Second Anointing, but I'm not Mitt Romney.

It was another hit-and-run piece. I was accused of being a liar and poisoning the water for repeating some inconvenient truth contained in the official History of the Church published by the LDS Church.

When I link to the LDS sites showing I was right? No apology for the character assassination, no "thank you for telling me; I didn't know that," no "I stand corrected; you were right." My guess is she didn't even read her own church's website and History, because she has her testimony and desire to protect the church from any unflattering piece of history. It's Apostle Boyd K. Packer's 'faith-promoting history" and "The Mantle Is Far, Far Greater Than The Intellect" but on a personal level. Which is just as scary as Ph.D. historians being instructed to leave out historical facts that show the church or its leaders in an unflattering light for fear of being excommunicated or disenfellowshipped, as many have been.

These hit-and-run accusations of hatred, bigotry, lying, and the like are commonplace. There's never any follow-up, no matter that you prove your point solely from LDS-authorized materials.

Just make a personal attack, a baseless claim, a hit-and-run slur, and disappear.

better hit those history books harder next time.

there was no “roman” church and no “greek” church, there was the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church comprised of romans and greeks.

the great schism did not occur until the 11th century, the canon was set in the 4th century.

Again, see 323 and my other response. You said I poisoned the water and called me a liar without exactly using that word. I gave you the link to the official LDS History of the Church. You were wrong. Two guns. Cyrus Wheelock, one of the early members of the LDS Church,smuggled the guns.

Please apologize and acknowledge the truth.

Do the right thing. Or are you a hit and run, no honor, Mormon?

God’s Word is the final authority, as taught by the pillar of truth, the Body of Christ on earth, THE CHURCH.

i’m still waiting to be bombarded with NT verses showing Christians are commanded to keep the 7th day sabbath.

Joseph Smith and Ellen White both taught the Church went apostate in the 1st century and they had to “restore” the true faith.

very sad people reject historical, orthodox, biblical Christianity for a false gospel.

So said the originator of the most successful of the Judeo-Christian cult offshoots, Islam.

“Jesus said that He was the Father”

Jesus NEVER said He was the Father, where did you come up with this heresy?

Jesus created Satan, He created you, He created me.

Everything that has been created, has been created by and thru Jesus.

Jesus is Almighty God and therefore, He has always existed and always will exist. He is UNCREATED.

Satan and Jesus ARE NOT brothers. that is blaphemy!!

The Body of Christ is indeed the true church, but it isn’t made of brick and doesn’t have a steeple. It more closely resembles a human body. It’s also pretty much invisible, it’s members scattered among the Baptists, Lutherans, Catholics and many other denominations and some don’t attend an earthly steeple house at all.

Jim, I don’t think you will be flamed very much as most of the Mormons have been banned from this site.

So SD is admitting that the mormons behaved poorly here.

You will get nothing but pats on the back by the anti Mormon brigade, and they are legion.

woah time to call the

Explain to me in that last.

Scripture had to be fulfilled

There is a wrongness there. The implication was Judas NEVER had a chance.

And that makes this complete bullsh!+

Then Satan entered Judas


Whatever you yield yourself to is your El Guapo. It may be money; it may be food; it may be sex; it may be power; it may be Satan. In this case, Judas's El Guapo was Satan. Your mistake is assuming that a prophecy is deterministic. Just because something is known ahead of time doesn't mean that the knowing it caused it: foreknown doesn't mean foreordained.

Friend you are as spiritually blind as anyone I have ever known. Christ forgave Peter. If you would actually READ the Bible instead of commenting on something you have no understanding of, you would maybe come to an understanding. But, before you do that, I think you should go read 1 Cor 15: 1-4. If you can believe that, then you shall be Saved and have eternal life. Without it, I am afraid that the Bible and Jesus Christ tells you otherwise. It is your decision. You can remain blind if you want too, that is the decision every man must make. It is yours. I made mine. I believe He is who He said He was and I BELIEVE every word of the Bible. Simple as that. I will pray for you as I pray for all the lost. I can say, if you do not believe in Jesus Christ, You HAD better be right, otherwise . . . . . . . . . .

And Merry Christmas to you! It’s funny to hear my Muslim friends wish me a Merry Christmas. I told them that a Muslim cleric said that that was as bad as fornication. He agreed that it must have been a Shiite cleric. They think those guys are nuts.
