This discussion explores biblical warnings about false prophets, encouraging participants to consider how we can identify those who might lead others astray. Members are invited to share their thoughts on distinguishing true spiritual guidance from deception.
The Bible warns us to be cautious of false prophets who might appear genuine but ultimately lead people astray with deceptive messages. As Jesus said, “They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves” – Matthew 7:15. With so many voices claiming to speak truth, it’s important to discern wisely, as Jesus advised, “By their fruit you will recognize them” – Matthew 7:20.
What signs do you think indicate a false prophet, and how can we distinguish genuine spiritual leaders from those who mislead?
Sounds like Trump. Notice Crosswalk has no articles opposing Trump’s overtaking evangelicalism with his agenda or his replacing Jesus in the minds of his disciples. Crickets chirp. One very mild article a while back that raised a bit of concern. A true false prophet endorsed by every televangelist, the false prophets of the airwaves.
A new cult has risen, and like the church in Germany in the 1930s, Christians either endorse it fully or turn a blind eye out of fear of Trump’s Brownshirts.
Remember this in the next few years, Crosswalk. Remember who you endorsed by not raising the alarm.
What I find somewhat humorous is that many of those who squawk most loudly about false prophets (or teachers) strike me as misguided if not delusional cranks themselves. It seemingly never occurs to them or their followers that THEY might be the false prophets. One man’s false prophet is another man’s mega-church pastor, I guess.
