over all."

WHAT
IS A FALSE PROPHET? A
prophet is
etymologically 'someone who
speaks for someone else', and literally means
'spokesman'. The Greek translators of the Bible adopted it
into Christian usage, frequently using it to mean
'one who interprets the will of the gods to humans.' The word
prophecy is a derivative of the same root word propheta,
meaning
fable, fame, fate. Source: Dictionary of Word Origins, by John
Ayto.
Anyone who speaks for someone else
can be said to be a prophet, therefore it is fair to say that
a false prophet is anyone, who either purposely or not
(regardless of intent), misspeaks or misinterprets the
meaning of another's words. All spiritual and religious teachers past and present, all preachers,
ministers, gurus, monks, disciples, pastors, priests, popes, rabis,
anyone (including you and I) who claims to be
speaking for and interpreting the meaning of God's word is
either a true or a false prophet.
Proper
interpretation is required for real understanding, and
cannot be acquired without seeking. Words are symbols for
meanings, and meanings change and evolve with society. What
a word infers to one person is not necessarily what it
infers to another. This makes careful investigation critical when
attempting to interpret
scripture. You cannot rely on your own or another's
interpretation, but must discover what the words meant in
the language, time, and culture they were being used.
Jesus said,
|
"WHOEVER
SEARCHES
will find. It will be
opened (completely
obvious) to
him."
-Jesus, The Gospel of Thomas
"Let whoever
seeks
not cease from his seeking until he finds. When he
finds he will be
troubled. When he is troubled, he will marvel
and will reign over all."
-Jesus, The Gospel of Thomas
"WHOEVER
DRINKS from my
MOUTH
will be as I
am, and I shall be that person, and
the hidden things will be
revealed to that person."
-Jesus, The Gospel of Thomas

For generations
religions
have sanctified men to go out and spread their prophecies (interpretations) of God's
commandments to the masses. They
compete for regions and obedience to their doctrines, and in
legions they march out proclaiming and defending their
faith, and enlisting others to their cause.
Look at what hides in the word
RELIGIONS. (legions, lies,
egos...)
Christianity claims to be the
true messenger of Christ, but there are a reported 38,000
different
denominations of Christianity
because they disagree
over interpretation. The truth can have only one
reality, all other interpretations are false. Therefore
Christianity (to name just one religion) is full of false prophets. Which denomination
do you trust for the truth about your salvation?
James,
disciple and early church founder warns:
|
"My
brothers, do not be MANY TEACHERS, knowing that we will
receive greater judgment.
For we ALL stumble in many ways."
"Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him
show his works by his good behavior, in meekness of wisdom. But if you have
bitter
jealousy and
contention (difference of opinion) in your heart, do not boast and lie
against truth. This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is
earthly,
beastly, devilish. For where jealousy and
contention are, there is
confusion and every foul deed. But
the wisdom from above is firstly truly pure, then
peaceable,
forbearing,
yielding, full of
mercy
and of good
fruits,
not
partial
and not
pretended. And
the fruit of
righteousness is sown in
peace for the ones making peace." -James, Chapter 3 |
If you do not question what
you are taught, and search out meaning for yourself, then you are not a SEEKER
and you will never FIND and KNOW the TRUTH!
Throughout the ages, religions have
taught their misunderstandings (false prophecies) as law, and
have created dogmas,
rituals, and
idolatries
that need to be exposed.
Jesus tells us,
|
"Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy
concerning you, saying:
This people draws near to Me with
their mouth, and with their lips
honor Me; but their heart
is
far from Me... in
vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines
the ordinances of men."
-Mt. 15:9
"But false prophets were also among the
people, as also false teachers
will be
among
you (he was speaking to the disciples starting the church), who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, and
denying the Master who
has bought them, bringing swift destruction on
themselves, and MANY will follow their destructive
ways, BY WHOM THE WAY OF
TRUTH WILL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF (they
will say the real way of truth is evil).
And
by covetousness, with well-turned words, they will use you for
gain." -2 Peter 2:1-3
“You must be
continually looking out so that no one will
lead you away as the spoils of his robbery by means of the
empty enticement of his philosophies
[his
religious speculations
(Acts 17:18)] that are in accordance with human tradition
and the world’s elementary teachings.”
—Col. 2:8
“there are some who
are disturbing you and wanting to distort the Good Message
about the Anointed One.”
-Gal. 1:7

In studying the history of Christianity, as outlined in this
article
The First Battle for the Bible, it's EVIDENT these things DID come
to pass in the building of Christianity, and that those false
teachings are still alive today. The majority
of Christians accept false teachings as fact, and fail to become
seekers. They set out blindly devoted with the best of
intentions to spread "The Good News" across the globe with
conviction and zeal.
If you have not
researched the history of Christianity, I urge you do so as a
serious
truth seeker.
Quote from Religions of The World 2nd Edition:
In their teaching, the early Christians
used collections of Jesus' stories or sayings as well as the
sermons and lessons of his disciples. His followers passed on
these materials orally, and some may have written them down
even before the gospels were prepared, about 35-70 years after
Jesus' death. The early
Christian preachers who preserved the
oral tradition shaped it for their own uses and adapted their
"records" of Jesus' words and acts to highlight meaning
important to the expanding church. How then can we
determine what material is authentically the teaching of
Jesus?
Jesus said you must
SEEK, KNOCK, and
ASK
before His mysteries concerning SALVATION will be revealed.
Most people NEVER do this as instructed:
|
"ASK and it will be given to you; SEEK, and ye shall find; KNOCK, and it will be open to you. For each one that ASKS receives, and
the one that SEEKS finds; and to the one KNOCKING it will be opened."
-Mt 7:7-8
|
Jesus spoke in parables, because what He was teaching was only
meant to be understood by his students:
|
"And
coming near, the disciples (Greek translates as
a learner; pupil) said to Him, Why do You speak to
them in parables? And answering, He said to them, Because
it has been given to you (learners; pupils) to
know (understand) the mysteries of the
Kingdom of
Heaven, but it has not been given to those (non-learners; non-pupils).
For whoever has,
to him will be given, and he will have over-abundance. But
whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from
him."
-Mt 13:10
"And He taught them
many things in parables, and said to them in His Teaching:
Listen! Behold! ..."
-Mk 4:2-3 |
Now,
as in old, the Synagogues, Temples, and Churches are full of FALSE
PROPHETS teaching their misunderstandings as TRUTH.
The resemblance
between the False
Prophets of old and Christianity today is undeniable.
Read what Jesus says to the
CHURCHES in Revelation.
Jesus tells us in Matthew
Chapter 7:
-
"Do not judge that you
may not be judged..."
(Religions thrive on the judging of right
and wrong.)
-
"Why do
you look on the twig that is in the eye of your brother, but
do not see the log in your eye..." (Religions point out sin and dictate righteousness,
not recognizing that they are teaching false prophecies.)
-
"Go in through the
narrow
gate; for
wide is
the gate, and
broad is the
way that leads to death. And
MANY
are the ones that go through it. For narrow is the gate, and
constricted is the way that leads into life, and
FEW are the
ones who
find
it."
(Christianity is not the few but the MANY, and is even called
'THE MAJORITY'. Christianity is spread across the globe
as the dominate religion, so I do not see how anyone can say
Christianity is the narrow, constricted way.)
-
"Beware of FALSE PROPHETS who come to you in
sheep's clothing, but inside they are plundering wolves..."
-
Not Everyone who says to
me Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but the
ones who
do the
WILL of My Father in Heaven..."
-
MANY
will say to me in
that day Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name?..." (CHRISTIANITY
is the only MANY prophesying in the name of Christ. Also, please note
that the
word antichrist hides within the word Christianity - a
coincidence, I think not.)
-
"In Your
name cast out
demons?..." (Who besides the Christians use the phrase,
"In Jesus name we...")
-
"In Your
name do many
works of power?..." (In the 2004 election,
President Bush won 79% of the twenty six million Evangelical
votes, which was enough to win him re-election. If controlling
who becomes the U.S. President isn't power, then what is?)
-
And then I will declare
to them, I never
KNEW you; depart from Me, those WORKING
LAWLESSNESS."
(Jesus tells us MANY
will think they have taught His message, but
will find they never really understood Him, and that they
have been
promoting lies in His name.)
|
In the beginning of Revelation, Jesus spends much time
warning THE 7 CHURCHES to REPENT
(The Greek origin of 'Repent' means to think differently, reconsider).
Keep in mind that ANGEL in Greek
simply translates as MESSENGER.
