In other words, they will teach what people want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3-4). They will say things to make people feel good. They are puffed up with pride and often teach Scripture out of context, to suit their purposes and agendas. They do not teach the Gospel of salvation. They teach what the Holy Spirit guides them to teach, EVEN if it is something unpleasant.įalse teachers, on the other hand, deny Christ. They teach directly from the Bible, ALWAYS keeping it in context. True teachers of God's Word do not predict anything. True prophets will always have their prophecies come true. Proving once again that he is a false prophet. FYI - he predicted the destruction of all homosexuals would happen somewhere between 19. Visit the Christian Research Institute (CRI) for some examples of his false prophecies. They all begin their 'prophecies' with 'The Lord revealed to me.' or 'The Lord showed me.' or 'The Lord told me.' Hinn himself has a glaring record of false prophecies so long that it's a wonder anyone listens to him at all.

Because it contradicts God's Word, which says God is not willing that anyone should perish but that all should receive eternal life (2 Peter 3:9 1 Timothy 2:4 John 3:16).įalse prophets are people whose predictions NEVER come true and often contradict God's Word.Īn excellent example of a false prophet is Benny Hinn and anyone in the Word of Faith camp. For example, if someone prophecies that all homosexuals will be destroyed, that would be a false prediction. These revelations will NEVER contradict God's written Word. They have received a divine revelation from God. True prophets are people who predict events not written in the Bible that ALWAYS come true. But before we get into that, we need to know the difference between a false prophet and a false teacher because many Christians confuse the two. So does this mean we ought to look only at a false prophet's good deeds? No, we also need to look closely at what they are saying or proclaiming. Good trees will bear good fruit, and bad trees will bear bad fruit. Jesus says we will know them by their 'fruits.' He compares them to fruit-bearing trees.
