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.

The robes of righteousness will only be given to those who are WILLING to follow Gods will.

Are robes better than a Temple Recommend®?

If I understand you correctly, then I have no idea of what the answer is.

You probably don't; therefore you know.

To me, the promise of the Christ means there is no failure. No one is left behind, and a lot of the hellfire and brimstone stuff is something out of a medieval nightmare.

If that is what you believe....then you are unlearned.

The Bible is clear.....

I would hope you would become learned...in what the Bible actually says.

Yes, though it is not a reason I am opposing Mitt Romney. He’s a human weathervane, trying to say the right thing at the right time.

Romney’s a man who changed his mind or his heart or his something on the abortion issue,and the same for the marriage issue. Without explanation. Those are fundamental, more fundamental than being wrong about how much carbon there is in the atmosphere.

Agreed, though it’s my understanding it’s not until one is pretty much brainwashed before they reveal the darkest side of Mormonism, and by then the fear factor comes into play if they even consider leaving.

Mormonism in a nutshell.

Talking to yourself will not change the truths we have posted. Eventually you will have to choose, Christ or Mormonism (whatever your brand is).

Don’t you have an exorcism to attend and some poor priest to torture?

At least when I talk to myself I am having an intelligent conversation with someone.

“One can be a Christian simply through acceptance of Jesus as their savior. No church, money, sex, or givings of any kind required.”

Couldn’t one do that as a Catholic, a Baptist, a Mormon, or no church at all?

My wife was raised Catholic, and would still claim to be. But I once questioned her beliefs, and she is closer to protestant beliefs than to Catholic beliefs.

Most individuals don’t dwell on theological fine points.

I think people are raised in religions of their families, and believe in Christ. They themselves feel they are Christians.

Can another human being take that away from them, because they lack the wording for the Trinity? Down through the centuries have not various denominations held differing theological details?
