Deuteronomy 18:21-22

21 You may say to yourself, ‘How can we recognize a message the Lord has not spoken?’ 22 When a prophet speaks in the Lord’s name, and the message does not come true or is not fulfilled, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.          Deuteronomy 18:21-22 (HCSB)

Here is a set of verses that we don’t use anymore.  a lot of pastor and churches around the world care to much about looking SUPER FRIENDLY and they do not want any finger pointed. 

This is the wrong thing to do as Christians.  Now I am not saying we should point fingers over a small issue like ones view on end times, but  like  Harold Camping, then we can point fingers.

Over the years there has been a lot of people proclaiming to foretell what's to come. The issue is that when a person tries to be a Prophet and is wrong, the bible tells us that one is not from God and should not hear him or believe him or follow him.  more so verse 20 of Deuteronomy 18 says they should be put to death. 

Now I am not saying that we should go out and put these people to death, because I am not going to be their judge.  We can point fingers.

10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth. 15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.  Titus 1:10-16

So let me ask this question, Are you going to follow a person to is a false teacher or false prophet? 

As I write this I wonder if anyone is still going to Harold Camping church and listens to his radio show?  last week as I drove through Salt Lake City, I saw one of the billboards for his May 21 end times that did not come.

I was talking to a Mormon over the internet about this and asked him if he would believe someone like Harold Camping. someone who a number of times told of things to come, but they never did, a false prophet?  He told me that he would never follow a person who told him falsehood and then I asked him why he is a Mormon.  when he asked me what I was talking about, I started to inform him about the 56 false prophecies of Joseph Smith.

36 And also the Lord shall have apower over his bsaints, and shall creign in their dmidst, and shall come down in ejudgment upon fIdumea, or the world.

37 aSearch these bcommandments, for they are true and cfaithful, and the prophecies and dpromises which are in them shall all be fulfilled.

38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my aword shall not pass away, but shall all be bfulfilled, whether by mine own cvoice or by the dvoice of my eservants, it is the fsame. D&C 1:36-38

Now I have had a lot of Mormons tell that, “Maybe something did happen or something was not right and God did not allow it to come to pass.”  well again, D&C 1 says that they will be fulfilled. so again the question is why do Mormons follow Joseph Smith when he told 56 false prophecies? 

A Sample of Joseph Smith's
False Prophecies

  1. Saints to gather to Independence, Mo. and build Temple (D&C 84)
    No longer teach the gathering and temple never built.
  2. Zion (Independence, Mo.) can not fall (D&C 97:19)
    Mormons driven out.
  3. Army to redeem Zion (Independence, MO) (D&C 103)
    Mission unsuccessful. V.30-34 God seems to be unsure about how large an army to raise.
  4. Civil War Prophecy (D&C 87)
    England and other nations did not join in.
  5. United Order (D&C 104)
    V.1 Commanded as everlasting order; V.48 & 53 dissolved and reorganized.
  6. Riches of Salem to pay church debt (D&C 111)
    No riches found, debts not paid.
  7. Apostle Patten to go on mission in Spring 1839 (D&C 114)
    He was shot in Oct. of 1838. Wouldn't God have known he was going to die before the next spring?
  8. New gathering place and temple in Far West (D&C 115)
    LDS driven out, never built the temple.
  9. Build a temple in Nauvoo and house for Smiths (D&C 124)
    Temple and house not completed.
  10. Christ to return in 1890-1891 period (D&C 130:14-15)
    Christ did not return.
  11. US Government must redress wrongs or be destroyed (History of the Church, vol.5, p.394, vol.6, p.116 and Millennial Star, vol.22, p.455.)
    It doesn't and is not destroyed.
  12. Three grand keys to test Messengers (D&C 129)
    No known reference where any LDS church leader ever used this test. Does God give meaningless revelations?

Here are 12 but only 1 makes you a false prophet according to the bible and D&C chapter 1.  the word is not from God and he is false. 

So what are you going to do?
