FALSE PROPHETS

Hugh Fogelman et al

 

The writings of Paul in the Nu TESTament consistently claims that it was God himself who called him to be an apostle.

The will and call of God” led him to preach, (1 Corinthians 1:1)

He is “approved by God,” (1 Thessalonians 2:4)

God qualified Paul to dispense his new covenant (2 Corinthians 3:6)

God’s actions made him an apostle to the gentiles, (Galatians 2:8)

As for Paul’s knowledge of the so-called Christ, he also claims that it was God who revealed his son Jesus to him. (Galatians 1:16) Therefore, it was not Jesus who first revealed himself to Paul. How did Paul forget Jesus?

Even the pseudo-Pauline writers express things in the same vein. It is the “commission God gave me.” (Colossians 1:25)  Paul is commissioned “by the will of God” (Ephesians 1:1) and is “made a minister by God’s gifts and powers.”(Ephesians 3:7) These passages show that the authors apparently did not have any concept that Jesus had called or appointed apostles, whether on earth or even through spiritual channels. In fact, Paul clearly excludes such an idea: “In the church, God has appointed in the first place apostles . . .” (1 Corinthians 12:28). No writer who knew of the Gospel would have said such a thing.

Paul, in his autobiography wrote, through the channel of God’s Spirit. “Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people to whom it came? If anyone claims to be inspired or a prophet, let him recognize that what I write has the Lord’s authority.” [1 Corinthians 14:36-38]

Paul also preached about another god. He wrote on behalf of the false prophet Jesus, who had advocated fear of a false god―the Christian devil. Paul wrote that Satan (the devil) is “god” of THIS world (2 Corinthians 4:4). Paul writes that God, the Creator of ALL, battles against the rulers and the powers of this dark word (Ephesians 6:12).  He continues, saying that Satan has his own will (Timothy 2:26). In Acts, Paul said he was told to open peoples’ eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from the POWER of Satan (Acts 26:18).

Peter continued the myth of Jesus, the false prophet, when in his address of Pentecost as told in Acts 2:22: “Ye men of Israel, hear these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs which God did by him to show midst of you, as ye yourselves also know.”

What does God say about all this?  If there should stand up in your midst a prophet or a dreamer of a dream, and he will produce to you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes about, of which he spoke to you saying, Let us follow gods of others that you did not know and we shall worship them, do not hearken to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of a dream – for HaShem, your God is testing you to know whether you love HaShem, your God. (Deuteronomy 13:2-4)

 “But the prophet who willfully shall speak a word in My name, that which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of the gods of others―that prophet shall die.”

 In other words, anyone who speaks a word in God's name, which God did not say, is a false prophet. Simple and direct! (Deuteronomy 18:20)

God was very clear on miracles, wonders and signs as he specified in Deuteronomy 13:1-6.

You should carefully observe the entire word that I am commanding you. Do not add to it and do not subtract from it. If there should arise amongst you a prophet or a visionary, he may present you with a sign or miracle, and on the basis of that sign or miracle, say to you, "Let us try out a different god. Let us serve it and have a new spiritual experience."

Do not listen to the words of that prophet or visionary. God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul. Follow the Lord your God, remain in awe of Him, keep His mitzvahs, listen to Him and serve Him – and then you will be able to have a true spiritual experience through Him.

Therefore, if any person―whether Jew or non-Jew―will perform signs and wonders, saying that God sent him to either add or subtract a mitzvah from the Torah, or explain it differently than the tradition from Moses, or claim that the mitzvahs were given to Israel for only a limited time and not for all generations―then we immediately know he is a false prophet.

Don’t you find it strange that Paul, Peter, and especially Jesus died “EARLY” deaths?  

Don’t you think that maybe they failed the test? 

Were Paul and Jesus false prophets? You know it!
