Beware of False Prophets

“The prophets prophesy falsely... and my people love to have it so:” - Jeremiah 5.31

There are so many “Christians” out there today who do not seem to understand what the Bible says about our day and time.  They say, “Why is there confusion in religion today?”

Many seem to wonder why “we Christians” don’t all agree on everything.

The reason “Why” is because the Lord said our day and time will be a time of heresy and apostasy - especially in the world of “Christianity”. (Mathew 13.31-33, 2 Timothy 3.1-7))

Heresy is, “opposition to the established or commonly received doctrine”, and Apostasy is, “An abandonment of what one has voluntarily professed”.  So those who have never agreed with the Bible, and those who at one time said they agreed.)

Matthew 7:15  “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

2 Peter 2:1 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you,”

2 Timothy 4.4-4a “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,”

“The prophets prophesy falsely... and my people love to have it so:”

Not much has changed since the days of the Prophets!  Which means we should pay close attention to all of the Bible, all of the Old Testament and all of the New Testament.

Run with patience,
