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.

Just because something is known ahead of time doesn't mean that the knowing it caused it: foreknown doesn't mean foreordained.

Go ahead, christians. Get into a big, after-Christmas fight over A vs C now!)

They think those guys are nuts.

THEY must be Sunni. Another example of why MORMONism is true.

'Christianity' with it's THOUSANDs of incarnations and Islam with probably just as many vs the MONOLITHIC LDS church: THE Church to most people in UTAH!

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


D&C 137:7-8

Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying:
 
         All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God;
         Also all that shall die henceforth without a knowledge of it, who would have received it with all their hearts, shall be heirs of that kingdom;

That said, IMHO, the Mormon church may not honor Christ, but, through it and others, we sinners can find our way to Him.

Then it will be after sloughing thru the Slough of Despond and going Onward...



Christian, an everyman character, is the protagonist of the allegory, which centers itself in his journey from his hometown, the "City of Destruction" ("this world"), to the "Celestial City" ("that which is to come": Heaven) atop Mt. Zion.

HMmm... MORMONism has strangely incorporated these concepts...)

I have not been attacked by a Mormon, nor do I expect to.

Your theology has!

What are YOU going to do about it?

Ah, Resty!

Thanks for showing that you CAN find church history - when you WANT to!

Are you ready, at this time, to either EMBRACE the words of your Leaders (shown to the world in #309) or to REPUDIATE them?

Great graphic...ROTFL!

Well, the spousal unit was at her grandmother's house, the kids were visiting friends, and I was left alone with my Fireworks and Flash programs. I had quoted The History of the Church several times to no avail.

When all else fails . . . animation.

I didn't remember all the particulars

No problems; as there are SO many 'particulars' to be remembered in MORMONism.

No WONDER not many MORMONs can do it!

OOOps!!
 
 
Looks like you have CHOSEN to IGNORE #309; jumping ahead to reply to #357.
 
 
Why might that be?

....meaning so convoluted to untangle.

If that is above your job rating; then try something simple:

What did Joseph Smith 'learn' to be 'untrue' about PRESBYTERIANism?

Walter Martin knew his cults and was well researched, regardless of the smear campaign the LDS puts against him.

One is “Sacrament Meeting” - the main service where ‘talks’ are given by the mebership rather than a sermon ...

Oh NO!!!

Yesterday; I was the second of four that did exactly that; telling how and when we accepted the Gift of Salvation.

I referenced the following Scripture:

James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

thanks for the clarification on the different languages, but same Catholic Church.

the Church did not need to dogmatically declare the canon before Trent, since there was no controversy. only after some reformers questioned some books in the OT, did Trent formally declare once and for all the canon. up until then, the Vulgate and it’s 73 books was the Bible for around 1,200 years.
