| Feb 25, 2022 at 16:15 | comment | added | Anne | @crazyTech Balaam was a recognized prophet of Yahweh with a track record of speaking truth. Indeed, he could not lie against the nation of Israel, as his pay-master wanted him to do. He HAD to speak God's truth, which was blessing, and not cursing! An angel told him to speak only what the Lord told him. The evil he did was after he'd finished prophesying truth. No, the Bible does not minimise false prophesies due to simply having wrong dreams arising from personal fleshly desires. An untruth is an untruth. God hates all liars and a false prediction is a lie, especially if given in God's name. | |

I'm talking about today's Charismatics/Pentecostals who in their heart was sincere, but then Unintentionally get carried away by their personal fleshly desires, and just mistakenly get revelatory messages. Is there any case like said Charismatics/Pentecostals in the bible( or at the very least some verse that could allude to warnings/criticisms about said case)? | |
| Feb 25, 2022 at 16:05 | comment | added | Anne | @crazyTech -an interesting one is Balaam. Read Num.ch22 to 25 incl. Then 31:8,16 shows Balaam instigated this sexual promiscuity that resulted in a plague from God. Even when Balaam did speak the truth, his role in apostasy showed Deut,13:1-5 applied. See 2 Pet.2:15-16, Jude vs.11, Rev.2:12. False prophets are on the go today, as the N.T. warned, leading up to Christ's return. They must not be countenanced or given any platform by God's people. | |
| Feb 25, 2022 at 15:49 | comment | added | user1338998 | Is there ever a case in the bible where any kind of revelatory message( i.e. dreams, visions, etc.) are mistakenly taken as Godly revelatory message, but in reality due to fleshly desires? I ask because of my Charismatic/Pentecostal background, and a lot of times people in said church background go overboard. (search the internet for the many Charismatics/Pentecostals predicting 2020 Reelection of Donald Trump which was totally misleading. Some of the said people were probably so enamoured by Trump that they probably had revelations mistakenly thinking it was from God but was fleshly desires | |
