Subject: Is this a false prophet? |
Bible Note: Dear SRN....You wrote... "I believe a person saying they are a prophet etc in some sort of illusion is not a false prophet." What? Is that a question? Do you know that the sentence makes no sense? Are you agreeing, disagreeing or just keeping in touch :-) I agree that false prophets are all over Sunday morning TV. They are also allover our church. I can tell if a person is a false prophet by the nature of their words. If what the prophet says is clearly unbiblical, he is a false prophet. If the prophet speaks of a future event that proves to be untrue, he is a false prophet. Simple tests for a false prophet abound. Really!! There was a "test" that was circulated among the churches that claimed to determine what Gift you had. I do not know the origin of the test but perhaps you have seen it, or took it. It asked several questions that the answers to would evaluate the Christian to determine his Gift. Taking a test to determine your Gift does not seem to be of God....to me. But weak minded, intellectually lazy Christians are only too happy to embrace what I call "HocusPocusChristianity" and all Christianity suffers because our message of salvation can not be heard above the roar of laughter. TEST all things. Do not listen to false prophets. If they are wrong once, just once, then perhaps they are blessed with a different Gift. But if they claim to speak for God,....well, they must be right. God Bless....Jensen |
