Recognizing and Avoiding False Prophets

 Recognizing and Avoiding False Prophets

Positive Christianity Series Episode #253


King Jesus Christ described in the Gospel of Matthew the need to distinguish between the true disciples and apostles from the idolatrous false prophets. We learn that we recognize and avoid the false prophets who want to lead to the practice of sin, idol worship, envy, and coveting. We can distinguish that the false prophets speak temporary lies and actually want to tempt to the practice of adultery and idolatry regardless of how much Scripture they know. Instead we choose to obey the commandments of Moses and avoid false idolatrous prophets. 

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."- Matthew 7: 15

The false prophets "appear to be" what they are not. False prophets "appear to be sheep" but are actually ravenous wolves who kill, steal, and destroy. We learn that we are able to distinguish false prophets because they cause envy, hate, unneeded quarreling, and division instead of creating harmony and serenity. The false prophets envy and resent others and do not practice genuine empathy consistent with the manner that they disobey the commandments of Moses.

"You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit."- Matthew 7: 16-17

King Jesus Christ described how we can recognize the false prophets in the manner that they do not produce fruit. This means that they do not obey the commandments of Moses and do not help others. Instead of worshiping GOD Almighty in order to love GOD Almighty above everything, they "appear to be righteous and good" in order to deceive into the practice of sin and idol worship.

We learn that grapes are produced from vineyards and not from thornbushes. We learn that thornbushes and thistles do not produce fruit and are barren. The barreness describes how the practice of sin, vices, hypocrisy, and envy cause stagnation and destruction to the unrepentant wicked. Instead of helping others worship GOD Almighty, they want to "appear" to worship GOD Almighty while tempting to disobedience of the commandments of Moses seen in idolatry and adultery. We learn about wicked idolatrous false prophets in the Pharisees, Saducees, and Diotrephes who opposed the disciples and apostles while Christianity increased to Israel and the nations.

  Persevering With Fidelity to GOD Almighty Amidst the Times That We Are Living In  Positive Christianity Series Episode # 126 The Sacred Scriptures describe the manner that we can persevere having encouragement and motivation in the worship of GOD Almighty. We grow in wisdom to know that we can not practice idol worship that does not help at all and only causes difficulties, woes, stagnation, and destruction for the unrepentant wicked. Paul describes that we are not supposed to walk in the darkness of idol worship and are supposed to be vigilant concerning the times that we are living in. We know these are not the best of times due to the earthquakes, pestilences, and famine that is happening. We know that King Jesus Christ told us in the Book of Luke 21: 9-11 about the need to know the signs and the seasons so that we stay vigilant and sober-minded so that we do not believe the temporary lies of sin and idol worship. " Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come f...

  Not Judging Others and Practicing Genuine Empathy Positive Christianity Series Episode #130 " Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you.

For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you ."- Luke 6: 37-38 King Jesus Christ describes the manner that there is the need to practice true justice, equity, and equality instead of hypocrisy and sin.
