I wondering...how is a prophet defined. How do we know when we have a true prophet? How do we know when we have a false prophet.What defines a false prophet, what defines a true prophet?
A true prophet has a track record of 100%. If they miss even one prophecy then they are false.What defines a false prophet, what defines a true prophet?
A true prophet isnt welcome in his own town %26amp; most prophets were attacked for doing a reasonable job, look what happened to Dear John The Baptist? False prophets seem to live longer. The word prophet has been replaced with 'claivoyant/medium' - The one on Blackpool Beach isnt too bad but charges - I think its wrong to sell a gift. Its all too easy to predict whats going to happen with media being as advanced as it is - Enoch Powel made a prediction too %26amp; its still not nice to hear.....
Well for a lot of people it happens that the true prophet is the one who gains the most followers.
Opinion.
True prophets are more uncomfortable to listen to. They don't want anything from you themselves. They probably don't even like their jobs. They usually want you to change something about yourself that you already know is wrong but you don't want to think about because it would be a major hassle.
A false prophet is all about good news, and he loves his work. You're doing great! All you need to be even better is an even more positive attitude and a few of my special techniques. A false prophet is glad to take your money and you're glad to give it to him.
Jesus said you will know them by their friut (deeds) that is his followers but I think it aplyes to prophets as well.
False prophet will simply declare himself prophet.
Deuteronomy 18.22 ';22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.';
If a prophet tells you to put your wad on such and such a nag's nose and the nag finishes last, it is proof that the prophesy was false and so is the prophet. On the other hand If a prophet tells you to bet the nag's nose and he finishes first. The prophecy and the prophet are true.
If you are talking about a ';fore sayer'; then you have to see if what he says comes to pass. But it will not go against what is in the Bible. If you are talking about a ';forth sayer'; then does what he says match the Bible.
