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… (13:18) – 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. jesus/article_bbe49a4e-e fcf-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). Galatians 1 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! 2 Corinthians The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.

Obey Truth Plan of Salvation – Hear (Rom. 10:17) – Believe (Jn. 8:24) – Repent (Lk. 13:3) – Confess (Rom. 10:9-10) – Be Baptized (Mk. 16:16) Worship – Sing (1 Cor. 14:15) – Pray (Acts 2:42) – Give (1 Cor. 16:1-2) – Partake of Lord’s Supper (1 Cor. 11:23-25; Acts 20:7) – Preach Gospel (Acts 2:42; 20:7) Work of the Church –Preach Gospel (Mk. 16:15) –Edify Members (Esp. 4:12) –Help Needy Saints (Acts 6:1-7)
