FALSE PROPHETS & TRUE PROPHETS

(Message by Tanny Keng)

0. Introduction

a) The false prophets were an obstacle to bringing God's word to the people. They would bring messages that contradicted the words of the true prophets. They gave "messages" that appealed to the people's sinful natures and comforted their fears. False prophets told people what they wanted to hear. True prophets told God's truth.
