11:9 Any prophet who orders a meal in the Spirit does not eat it; if he does, he is indeed a false prophet.

What the heck kind of nonsense is THAT?

Why would someone waste food to order a meal and then not eat it?

And eating it makes him a false prophet?

What garbage.

I would love to hear the exegesis on why the prophet cannot eat a meal he ordered.

When I searched for why a prophet cannot eat a meal he ordered all I could find was this:

It comes from the “learnings of Imam Ghazzali”.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. (2 Peter 1:16)

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:19-21)

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:2-4)

Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. (Titus 1:14)
