Church?

<< < (2/2)

zander:
Its interesting.  The one and only prophecy i ever had at church, when i attended, on the sporadic occasions that i did, i am still waiting to see if it becomes fulfilled.  This was 4 years ago.  Certainly in that time, slowly there is some eerie progress toward it being fulfilled, but its too early to say.

Nightmare,

I would just ask myself, "what is the difference between this dude and a fortune teller?"  To me there doesn't seem to be any difference except it is "dressed-up" as Christian.

Snake-oil city!!  Grab your check book and run for the hills!!  Why would God tell someone else about your future and not bother to tell you?  There is no one who speaks on your behalf but Jesus to the Father.

I don't know the verses and exact details but I do know that Jesus was able to do things like know that the woman at the well had 5 husbands and know that Peter would deny Him in the future...is this man the Christ?

Did Paul or Peter possess these gifts?  I don't think so.  So I'm guessing that this guy is quoting Old Testament as his bases for this ability.  I say Hogwash!  God communicated differently once we have the Christ...mainly becase the kingdom is fullfilled...we don't need "talked to."

Still new here guys so let me know if I'm coming off base here in any way.  But every goosebump on my body is telling me there is no way this is anything other than a scam.

Finally....how is this advancing the kingdom if it is real?  How does being told that you will play the guitar advance the story of salvation to those who have not yet heard?  Why would God even bother in pointless acts...it's so unlike Him... :lol:

Peace

EXACTLY Sonia is right


Listen again my friend



If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder,

2and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,'

3you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you to find out if you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.



This is what is happening, serving yourself IS serving other gods!!



God is testing you to see if you love the Lord, or if you love  the prophet who gets credit for his prophesy coming true,or guitars, or yourself, or the other prophesy that has not come true yet. or ...  

God is acknowledged when He(God) becomes greater and WE become lesser

you do not need man to teach you the Spirit will teach you everything you need to know


I think the key to understanding a false prophet is not if he works for wages, for some may do it without charge, and not if it comes true or not , because even though not all of his prophesies come true, the ones we witness may come true.

The key to understanding a false prophet is :
"Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,'"

They(prophets) are not examples of humility, who die to their flesh.

They feed the flesh with gifts and "understanding", they exault the flesh as "other gods"
and they "serve them"(the flesh)


there are many things of the flesh we do not know are "gods"

Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known)



hope this helps,

Dan
