Dear n8sauce33, Greetings in the name of Jesus! And welcome to the forum. "But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation." 1 Corinthians 14:3 NASB The above Scripture is one of the clearest references to the work of a prophet in the New Testament. In this sense, there is still a valid ministry of prophecy in the church today to encourage the saints with a word from the Lord. Therefore, a false prophet is one that misleads the church or individuals, or causes them to stumble by misrepresenting the holy counsel of God as presented in the Bible. If you mean 'false prophecy' as in inaccurate future-telling, then yes, if a person says, "Such-and-such will happen, thus saith the Lord," and it doesn't happen, this is a false prophet. Either way, God is not in the business of providing future information for the purpose of personal gain or 'profit for prophets!' :-) Blessings to you in Christ Jesus, charis |

3 | What is a false prophet? | 1 Cor 14:3 | n8sauce33 | 68814 | ||
Dear Charis- Thank you for your response. The answers ive been looking for to questions such as that have been running circles in my head. It is amazing to me that men who proclaim they are prophets, (usually men holding high office within a church or religious org.), will actually try and justify themselves when their prophesies aren't fullfilled. Its very confusing, at times, when the justification is supposedly from the Bible. It really does circles in ones head.(mine mainly) I thank you again for helping to give me a more clear point of view on the subjuct. I hope that you or someone with as much understanding as you will be able to answer my future questions. Thanks again! sincerely, Nate PS-I like the "profit for prophets" quote..it actually added a punch of understanding. |

Dear Nate, Greetings in Jesus' name! Trust me, my friend, you are not the only one 'dazed and confused' by the antics of those claiming 'gifts and powers' of the Holy Spirit! I believe in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and callings to ministry described in the New Testament. But so many add extra 'meaning' and 'zing' to these God-given blessings, usually to the glory (and pocket!) of the charismatic fellow with the microphone. Talk about 'propheteering!' :-) All gifts and ministries are for the glory of God and His church!! I look forward to hearing more from you, both questions AND answers! Bless you in your quest for truth and peace... In Christ Jesus, charis |
