If you have been with me for awhile, you will know that I believe that Jesus is who he says he is. God does not change. He doe not lie and he sent his Son to die for our sins.
And I believe that because Jesus had said there would be those we need to be aware of. Because friend, he and his word is the final word for what we are to believe.
So watching these videos then, why were so many that were misled into believing what this man was saying to them about May 21, 2011? Was he so ignorant of the bible that he didn't know what it said? And why did so many people follow him and had not figured out by scripture that he was wrong. His own family believed him.
No, he was not ignorant to what Jesus said about them He shouldn't have been, if he was really a saved by grace, born again Christian. He was about 90 in 2011 and had been a "pastor" for many years. He even had questioned why God had chosen him for this mission to warn people that they needed to wake up.
The notgso funny thing about that question that God had chosen him for the mission to war people is that GOD DID NOT CHOOSE HIM FOR THAT MISSION!
The date of May 2011 and before that in September of 1994, he was saying it was meant for that time in history, and not our own. After Jesus did not come back, he made excuses for it. Well, he had to come up for some reason why.
Right? But first, what can we know of Harold Camping, assuming that all that has been written about him is true. I found it to be a very interesting study. So over the next few days, I will be posting things I have found out about this man.
Today however, I wanted to find out what it means to be a false prophet. I will start with what the bible says they are.
If we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we have preached to you, let him be under a curse. Galatians 1:8
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inside they are ravenous wolves. Mathew 7:15
Pay attention to yourselves and your flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to teach the church of God which he bought with his own blood. And I know that after I depart, wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves, men shall arise, speaking perverse things, to draw disciples away after them. Acts 20:28-30
And then of course, some will try to predict the coming of Jesus Christ:
No man knows the day or hour....Mark 13:32
And so, in a nutshell, we are to watch what someone is teaching us and make sure it is the gospel of Jesus Christ, to beware of those that might be of a different gospel and what they teach lines up with God's word, for pastors to watch over and protect their flocks from these people, because they are out there, ready to take us away from the true gospel.
How do we do that?
By studying God's Word. 2 Timothy 2:15. When someone teaches, preaches, or even is just talking about God's word, if we don't know what they are saying is truth, we need to search it out for ourselves by using God's word to go back and see what it says about it. Do not just blindly take someone's word as truth.

I may or may not be able to post part three tomorrow. I will try, but my son needs help tomorrow with some serious problems going on with his family. If not, I should be back on Thursday. Thanks for your patience as it is a trying time for us.
What else is there that we can learn about false prophets? Come back next time and maybe we can find out.
Thanks for coming by, and supporting me by reading what God leads me to write about. I appreciate you all! Til next time,
