Lying Prophets Jeroboam’s False Religion (1 Kings 12) Criticize original: Too much to go to Jerusalem (v. 28) Too restrictive, legalistic Convenient: 2 places to worship – Dan & Bethel (v. 29) Closer to home – a religion that caters to the people Like the original: Had object to worship – Calf (could see, v. 28) Had priests – any tribe (v. 31) Had altars – the high places (v. 31) Had special times to worship – feast days (v. 32)

Lying Prophets God sent vivid condemnation (1 Kings 13) Gave specific instructions to young prophet 8 But the man of God said to the king, "If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place. 9 "For so it was commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came.'" Old prophet came and invited him back. He repeated God’s clear instructions! Old prophet lied – an angel spoke to me…

Lying Prophets Old prophet lied – an angel spoke to me… No one had spoken to him. He didn’t believe what God told the young prophet. That’s what false teachers do—they lie! If they lie about doctrine, they’ll lie about other things. Why did people follow lying prophets? It’s easier, no sacrifice required, no effort needed. Told them what they wanted to hear. Golden calf doesn’t tell you anything, you tell it. Tradition.

Lying Prophets Modern day examples: Joseph Smith claimed angel Moroni spoke with him (Gal. 1:6-9). Oral Roberts followed Smith’s example, but instead of angel— 900’ tall Jesus. http://www.tulsaworld.com/archives/oral-roberts-tells-of-talking-to--foot-jesus/article_bbe49a4e-e441-5424-8fcf-1d49ede6318c.html Mary Baker Eddy – caught up to heaven—claimed to be guided spiritually to write her book on health and healing. Pope claims to be Christ’s spokesman. None of their claims are confirmed (2 Cor. 12:12).
