AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit [speaking through a self-proclaimed prophet]; instead test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world. |
Bible Question: How does one identify a false prophet? How would I know? I just can't imagine that a false prophet would make it evident to all that he or she is. It just doesn't seem to be the nature of deception to be evident or easily recognized. |
Bible Answer: That is a good question. The answer is simple. Christ has ONE church he built.(Matt.16:18) Anything else is false. The Lord's church does exaclty what the bible says, nothing more nothing less. There are allot of so- called "christian churches", but they are false. I know it might sound like a bold statement, but it's truth..My advice is to stay in the word so you know what is false or what is truth, Just like the Bereans. Acts. 17:11..
