How can true prophets and false ones be identified?\n\nTrue prophets make known their faith in Jesus, but more is required than claiming to preach in his name\n\n1 John 4:1-3: “Test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. You gain the knowledge of the inspired expression from God by this: Every inspired expression that confesses Jesus Christ as having come in the flesh originates with God, but every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus does not originate with God.”\n\nTrue prophets speak in the name of God, but merely claiming to represent him is not enough.\nJesus said: “I do nothing of my own initiative; but just as the Father taught me I speak these things.” (John 8:28) He said: “I have come in the name of my Father.” (John 5:43) Jesus also said: “He that speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory.”—John 7:18.\n\nIf any individuals or organizations claim to represent God but decline to use God’s personal name, and make it a practice to express their own opinions on matters, are they measuring up to this important qualification of a true prophet?\n\nAbility to perform “great signs,” or “miracles,” is not necessarily proof of a true prophet\n\nMatt. 24:24: “False Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs [“miracles,” TEV] and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.”\nWhat true prophets foretell comes to pass, but they may not understand just when or how it will be\n\nDan. 12:9: “Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of the end.”\n\nThe pronouncements of a true prophet promote true worship and are in harmony with God’s revealed will\n\nTrue prophets and the false can be recognized by the fruitage manifest in their lives and the lives of those who follow them\n\nMatt. 7:15-20: “Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them. . . . Every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit . . . Really, then, by their fruits you will recognize those men.”\n\nIt was not necessary to wait perhaps for years or generations to determine whether the prophet was true or false by fulfillment of a prediction. If his message contradicted God’s revealed will and standards, he was false. Thus, a prophet who foretold peace for Israel or Judah, at a time when the people were engaging in disobedience to God’s Word and Law, of necessity was false.\n\nThe true prophet never foretold simply to satisfy human curiosity. Every prediction related to God’s will, purpose, standards, or judgment. (1Ki 11:29-39; Isa 7:3-9) Often the future events foretold were the consequence of existing conditions; as the people sowed, so they would reap. The false prophets lulled the people and their leaders with soothing assurances that, despite their unrighteous course, God was still with them to protect and prosper them.

Would you like to see a real picture that was recently made of the beginning of the Universe?\n\nhttp://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/03/0217/

"There is actually quite a bit of written history from that time period that proves he did exist. But thanks for playing anyways."\n\nHAHAHAHAHAHA.... prove it. Show me one single piece of paper and I will believe you. The fact of the matter is, there was NO record of a historical jesus. In fact, St. Paul (who recorded the very first story of "Jesus") didnt mention anything about a virgin birth, miracles, or even this plane of exsistance. It was set in the same relm as Zeus, Hera, and other fictional characters. There are no writings from ANYONE who supposedly followed "jesus". If you know of any first hand evidence, I will gladly look at it and convert my faith if its true. So heres your big chance, all you good christians out there... In fact, Im gonna make it a new topic.

I watched the whole video and i agree totally with it,, all scripture was given for instrution , proof, and i believe all of the Bible, as far as the koran,, that was written after the bible , and Jesus said that would happen ,, that many false prophets will come claiming to be God,, and we see that everyday.. even some christian groups have misinturped the Bible and have lead alot of ppl astray so there are plenty of FACTS that Jesus is the son of God and the Bible holds true to this day and will forever, after all our laws are based on the Bible. thats a good thought.

I've seen pictures of Jesus smiling but I don't know if any of them were the one that your talking about. Can you find it on the web?

Good question.  The Bible has proven itself thru Bible Prophecy, which has been fulfilled with 100% accuracy. You can do a web search on Bible Prophecy and find some answers, note the dates it was prophesied and the dates it was fulfilled.  If you are interested I can e-mail you close to 40 prophecies that were fulfilled thru Christ...don't know of any other religion that can claim that about themselves.  Bible Prophecy does make for a good study.  History also proves the Bible as does Archeology.

many many proooooooooooofs\n\ni can give you 12 proofs from a site\n\n1. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) was raised illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained like that till his death. Among all his people, he was known as being truthful and trustworthy. Before receiving revelation, he had no prior knowledge of Religion or any previously sent Message. He remained like that for his first forty years. Revelation then came to Muhammad with the Koran that we now have between our hands. This Koran mentioned most of the accounts found in the previous scriptures, telling us about these events in the greatest detail as if he witnessed them. These accounts came precisely as they were found in the Torah sent down to Moses and in the Gospel sent down to Jesus. Neither the Jews or Christians were able to belie him regarding anything that he said. \n\n2. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also foretold of everything that would occur to him and his community after him, pertaining to victory, the removal of the tyrannical kingdoms of Chosroes [the royal title for the Zoroastrian kings of Persia] and Caesar, and the establishment of the religion of Islam throughout the earth. These events occurred exactly as Muhammad foretold, as if he was reading the future from an open book. \n\n3. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also brought an Arabic Koran that is the peak of eloquence and clarity. The Koran challenged those eloquent and fluent Arabs of his time, who initially belied him, to bring forth a single chapter like the Koran. The eloquent Arabs of his day were unable to contest this Koran. \n\nIndeed, till our day, none has ever dared to claim that he has been able to compose words that equal-or even approach-the order, grace, beauty, and splendor of this Glorious Koran. \n\n4. The life history of this Noble Prophet was a perfect example of being upright, merciful, compassionate, truthful, brave, generous, distant from all evil character, and ascetic in all worldly matters, while striving solely for the reward of the Hereafter. Moreover, in all his actions and dealings, he was ever mindful and fearful of Allah. \n\n5. Allah instilled great love for Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) in the hearts of all who believed in and met him. This love reached such a degree that any of his companions would willingly sacrifice his (or her) self, mother or father for him. \n\nTill today, those who believe in Muhammad honor and love him. Anyone of those who believe in him would ransom his own family and wealth to see him, even if but once. \n\n6. All of history has not preserved the biography of any person in the manner it has preserved the life of Muhammad, who is the most influential human in history. \n\nNor has the entire earth known of anyone whom every morning and evening, and many times thereafter throughout the day, is thought of by those who believe in him. Upon remembering Muhammad, the believers in him will greet him and ask Allah to bless him. They do such with full hearts and true love for him. \n\n7. Nor has there every been a man on earth whom is still followed in all his doings by those who believe in him. \n\nThose who believe in Muhammad, sleep in the manner he slept; purify themselves (through ablution and ritual washing) in the manner he purified himself; and adhere to his practice in the way they eat, drink, and clothe themselves. \n\nIndeed in all aspects of their lives, the believers in Muhammad adhere to the teachings he spread among them and the path that he traveled upon during his life. \n\nDuring every generation, from his day till our time, the believers in this Noble Prophet have fully adhered to his teachings. With some, this has reached the degree that they desire to follow and adhere to the Prophet's way in his personal matters regarding which Allah has not sought of them to adhere to in worship. For example, some w

Pictures are not "proof" nor are words written by humans in a book called the Bible. \n\nPeople have made pictures of many things which were not real - like the Star Trek television series which you mentioned. To many of us they are all stories meant to entertain or to educate - but they are not necessarily "documentary" in nature. \n\nAs far as I'm concerned you can believe whatever it is that you wish, but please do not be offended if the rest of the world doesn't decide to remain rooted in ignorance with you. \n\nThe images of the "feathered serpent" which you refer to, are just as probable to be something as subjective as an artists' conception of a kind of giant snake called an Anaconda. It could have been something that the artist heard about second hand from a traveller. It may have been a composite creature like the sphinx. If it was a description of an Anaconda it would have seemed a terrifyingly powerful and godlike being, just as the Jaguar and other totemic spirit creatures were often viewed in the context of being gods or at least superior to humans, by certain Central American cultures of antiquity. \n\nThese things need not have been part of the daily life of the people who carved it - they were just as likely to have been images which were symbolic of religious ideals and concepts or metaphores - Doesn't your own religion use "parables" to teach certain ideas? \n\nThe entire body of evidence resulting from paleontology, geology and other sciences and the quite consistent technology by which fossils and other forensic evidence are used to determine the dates when the earth was once inhabited by creatures which are now extinct, is not going to be invalidated simply because -you- personally find it to difficult to understand. \n\nWhether -you- believe it or not, really doesn't matter. The evidence fits the theory - in fact the theories are refined and improved a bit more each time a new discovery is made, as thousands of tiny observed details are added to the body of knowlege we call a science. In fact, some of the discoveries were made based on predictions that fit the climatic records that we have independently aquired from geological records produced from independent studies that were conducted elsewhere on the earth. The discoveries from physics and mathematics that help us to date these things, also helps us to predict where the finds should be - so unless there is some secret global conspiracy of all scientists and those who accept reason instead of faith, to falsify the evidence just so we can fool -you- It seems like we are the ones who might be genuinely seeking the truth here.\n\nIn fact it seems pretty likely that the real truth is that the Bible just isn't a comprehensive reference text to all knowledge about everything in the objective world. Especially when it comes to determining the history of the planet. I'm not saying the Bible doesn't have a purpose or value just that it's not as accurate or useful source of data when it comes to details about earths prehistory as observing the rate at which alluvial sediments of certain sizes and granularity and porousity are deposited and calculating from that how long it would take to pile up millions of tons of soil and sand and clays and turn them into the natural formations where we have dicovered the dinosaur bones. \n\nI'm sorry if you cannot understand why this seems more real to me than your religion - but your limits are not my problem - so why should I or anyone else care what you think or say on the subject?

I do believe that there is some truth to the Code and to the subjects covered in the book. I have reexamined the painting of the The Last Supper and I absolutely see the image of Mary Magdalene in the picture and I believe that Jesus could have been married and also fathered a child. You have to have an open mind and want to contemplate the possibilities that it could be true because I truly believe that it is very possible.

Allowing that one does not accept the prophecy from the Old Testament as proof, many of his time refer to his actual existence.  Among these are Josephus, the Jewish Historian, Pliny the younger, Tacitus, Lucian and Hadrian.\nIn all fairness, none of these knew the historical Jesus.  In addition, none of the writers of the 4 gospels directly knew Jesus either.  Paul, however, relates the story of how Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus three times in the Book of Acts.  Despite several of these sources, in addition to the Babylonian Talmud, providing reasonable evidence to Jesus' existence, there is no intellectual exercise which will provide this, IMHO, nor do I think it should.  Each is only heuristic, rather than definitive, in its essence.\nNeither will the issue of faith alone provide any proof, as much as some would have it so; faith, by itself proves nothing except that one believes.  One may have faith alone in all sorts of absurdities.\n\nThe difficulty comes when we undeniably understand that we have both a material and spiritual component as human beings.  If we didn't, however, then this whole discussion would just be neurons bumping into one another and would be meaningless.\nThe spiritual component is very difficult to explain in any sense of materialism.  Philosophy treats any ventures into the realm of the spiritual as fantasy, at least that which cannot be verified.\nHowever, if faith in Jesus Christ created a real bond, then this bond would have to be created not only by the believer, but the respondent.  The respondent, in addition, would have to prove that he was God. The difficulty comes as to whether this is possible. How does one verify that God exists?\nBriefly, the Bible teaches us that each one of us who comes to Him must love Him because he loved us first.  In 2 Timothy 3:7, we read about those who seek to learn but never come to the truth.  Paul teaches us that we must love God if we want to know him. (Also see Ephesians 3:17; Philippians 1:9; Colossians 2:2; and also 1 John 2:5.) If we want knowledge without love, it isn’t enough.  We first see Him "as through a glass darkly"(1 Corinthians 13:12) but through our trials and efforts for Him, we come to see more clearly.  \nI suggest that the truth of Jesus lies not in any intellectual sense but in a personal relationship which must be individual: you can't believe because someone else believes and you can't discover it because someone else knows.  Intellectual truth leads to skepticism and denial.  While it is good to be skeptical of things, even Jesus' existence and association with the resurrection mysteries you cite, the real proof comes in the consistency of God's promise.  Be forewarned: new believers usually suffer persecutions.  In fact, persecutions are promised to all believers (2 Timothy 3:12.)  Not everyone wants you to believe in the truth of Jesus Christ.

In Christianity there no prophets today. There are some who have the spiritual gift of prophecy. They will usually be the great preachers. When I say great-I mean outstanding men who preach truth from the Bible, not necessarily preachers who have large churches. These preachers  do not tell the future, as some think-they preach hard, tough sermons.\nAnyone who claims to be a prophet today is self-proclaimed. They have nothing to do with God.

The only proof I know of is that Jesus was resurrected. I would say that's as close to afterlife as you can get. So read the bible and there you may find your answer. :)
