What is a false prophet?
The Greek word for false prophet is ψευδοπροφητῶν.
And if we turn to the Strong's Concordance we find the answer to its meaning?
Definition: a false prophet; one who in God's name teaches what is false.
HELPS Word-studies
5578 pseudoprophḗtēs (from 5571 /pseudḗs, “false" and 4396 /prophḗtēs, "a prophet") – properly, a false prophet; someone pretending to speak the word of the Lord (prophesy) but in fact is phony (an imposter), acting as a wolf in sheep's clothing.
In the old Testament days, the true prophets were mostly rejected, while the false prophets were accepted.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!
Luke 13:34
Today we see how history has repeated itself.
Although the shocking killings of GOD’s innocent prophets has at present stopped, the true prophets, preachers and teachers are STILL mostly rejected, while the FALSE prophets, preachers and teachers are accepted.
Although the shocking killings of GOD’s innocent prophets has at present stopped, the true prophets, preachers and teachers are STILL mostly rejected, while the FALSE prophets, preachers and teachers are accepted.
But who are the FALSE prophets; preachers and teachers living today that Jesus, John Peter and Jude, warned us are the false prophets, who come in sheep’s clothing?
We need to travel back to around 2000 years in history to discover who were the FIRST actual FALSE prophets, preachers, and teachers.
Because the FIRST FALSE prophets, preachers, and teachers, will prove to us who are the actual FALSE prophets, preachers and teachers of today.
And these FIRST FALSE prophets, preachers, and teachers, can be identified by their own words and teachings.
St John told us:
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. 9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11 for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. 2 John 1:
As St John has said: If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching.
What is this important teaching St John is talking about?
The answer is given by John in his previous verse: 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.
So we read John saying: those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh.
Notice something very SIMPLE here?
Notice the Biblical facts?
1. Notice John does NOT SAY: those who do not confess the coming of (GOD as) Jesus Christ in the flesh.
2. Notice John does NOT SAY: those who do not confess that (GOD is) Jesus Christ in the flesh.
3. Notice John does NOT SAY: those who do not confess that (Jesus Christ is GOD) in the flesh.
4. Notice John does NOT SAY: those who do not confess the coming of (GOD) in the flesh.
5. Notice John does NOT SAY: those who do not confess that (GOD became) flesh.
6. Notice John does NOT SAY: those who do not confess (the Son of GOD is GOD) in the flesh.
7. In fact there are NO teachings from the beginning to the end of the Bible saying we MUST believe Jesus is GOD in the flesh.
8. And yet notice what MOST do confess in MOST churches today, that Jesus IS GOD that has come in the flesh?
8. And yet notice what MOST do confess in MOST churches today, that Jesus IS GOD that has come in the flesh?
And yet if we turn to John 20:31, we discover St John explains PRECISELY what one MUST believe to receive eternal life:
but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31
As we read and see, what we must believe, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
Is this teaching complicated?
Answer, NO.
When Jesus came to planet earth, which His Almighty God created through Him, He taught us a SIMPLE truth, which even children understand.
He always, and ONLY ever said and taught, He is the Son of His GOD.
His Father GOD also taught the SAME identical SIMPLE truth: And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!” Luke 9:35.
BOTH GOD and His Son taught us a SIMPLE, uncomplicated, straightforward, basic, down-to-earth, teaching, what even children understand, that Jesus has a Father, because He was BORN from His Father, who are a Father and Son, which is why Jesus always declared He is GODS Son.
do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? John 10:36.
Notice how simple GOD and His Son have made it possible for ALL to believe and have ETERNAL LIFE?
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24.
Notice the SIMPLE, uncomplicated, straightforward, basic, down-to-earth, teaching, what even children understand, that Jesus said: whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.
What is so COMPLICATED about what Jesus has asked us to believe, so that one must have ETERNAL LIFE?
Answer?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
St John confirms with Jesus by telling us what is so UNCOMPLICATED:
but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31.
And yet Trinitarians will tell us their faith is a MYSTERY, which they say NO ONE can understand.
This is because Trinitarians are actually proving with their own hands they do NOT know the truth about the ONE TRUE GOD, as they confess from their own mouths.
And yet Trinitarians will tell us their faith is a MYSTERY, which they say NO ONE can understand.
This is because Trinitarians are actually proving with their own hands they do NOT know the truth about the ONE TRUE GOD, as they confess from their own mouths.
We read yet again the SIMPLE, uncomplicated, straightforward, basic, down-to-earth, teaching: that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
So what went wrong? Why can’t MOST believe this SIMPLE, uncomplicated, straightforward, basic, down-to-earth, teaching: that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
The answer is given by St Peter in 2 Peter 2:1, 2.
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 2 Peter 2:1,2.
It is interesting to notice at the end of this shocking statement by Peter saying: The way of the truth will be maligned. The Greek word for maligned means: to slander, hence to speak lightly or profanely of sacred things. 2 Peter 2:2
But who could these people be, who Peter called the false prophets, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master Jesus?
The answer is given by St John in 1 John 2:19, when he said: They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 1 John 2:19.
So we hear John saying the deceivers who have gone out into the world, are those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh, and do NOT believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and Peter says they will (secretly) teach destructive heresies.
What we find is that these deceivers are in fact preaching a different Jesus and Gospel.
For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. 2 Corinthians 11:4.
Who could be these false prophets and deceivers, who are (secretly) teaching destructive heresies, and proclaim another Jesus and accept and teach a different gospel?
Well we read St John saying: They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 1 John 2:19.
So the clue is already given by St John, where we read him saying the false prophets: went out from us, but they were not of us.
WHO is St John talking about?
Answer:
And every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 1 John 4:3.
Notice the simple teaching by St John saying: And every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God? Can you see the simple Biblical fact here?
St John does not say Jesus is THE GOD, but that Jesus is FROM THE GOD.
As John does NOT say Jesus is THE GOD, who is it that is teaching what GOD, Jesus, St John, St Peter, St Paul DO NOT TEACH? (That Jesus is THE GOD)?
Answer:
Again, The answer is given by St John in 1 John 2:19, when he said: They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 1 John 2:19.
Who was WITH St John and went out from St John?
Answer:
Apostolic Fathers.
The earliest Church Fathers, (within two generations of the Twelve Apostles of Christ) are usually called the Apostolic Fathers since tradition describes them as having been taught by the twelve. Important Apostolic Fathers include Clement of Rome,[5] Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, and Papias of Hierapolis. In addition, the Didache and Shepherd of Hermas are usually placed among the writings of the Apostolic Fathers although their authors are unknown; like the works of Clement, Ignatius and Polycarp, they were first written in Koine Greek.
1. Durant, Will. Caesar and Christ. New York: Simon and Schuster. 1972
Papias (Greek: Παπίας) was an Apostolic Father, Bishop of Hierapolis (modern Pamukkale, Turkey), and author who lived c. 60–130 AD.[2] It was Papias who wrote the Exposition of the Sayings of the Lord (Greek: Λογίων Κυριακῶν Ἐξήγησις) in five books.

There was Philo of Alexandria, 20 BCE – c. 50 CE), also called PhiloJudaeus.
Pope Clement I, also known as Saint Clement of Rome, Papacy began, 88 AD
Papacy ended 99 AD.
"Clement of Rome, St." Cross, F. L. (ed.), The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, (New York: Oxford University Press, 2005).
Polycarp; AD 69 – 155) was a 2nd-century Christian bishop of Smyrna.
Saint Polycarp at Encyclopædia Britannica.
The forth well known church father is Ignatius of Antioch.
This chap is very interesting as we shall see.
Ignatius of Antioch (also known as Theophorus) (c. 35–110)[7] was the third bishop or Patriarch of Antioch and a student of the Apostle John. En route to his martyrdom in Rome, Ignatius wrote a series of letters which have been preserved. Important topics addressed in these letters include ecclesiology, the sacraments, the role of bishops, and the Incarnation of Christ.[8] He is the second after Clement to mention Paul's epistles.[5]

But what did these Apostolic Fathers believe and teach?
Did ANY of these Apostolic Fathers believe and teach what is NOT taught in the Bible that Jesus is the SAME being as His Father GOD?
The people who believe Jesus is GOD, seem to believe this is the case that some of the Apostolic Fathers taught Jesus is GOD.
The people who believe Jesus is GOD, seem to believe this is the case that some of the Apostolic Fathers taught Jesus is GOD.
Some people believe that some of the Ignatius letters are forgeries.
But are they ALL forgeries?
If this is the case, then WHY do MOST Trinitarian's and people who believe Jesus is GOD use forgeries?
Could Trinitarian’s be correct that SOME of the Ignatius letters are NOT forgeries?
While I do not believe ALL
the first church fathers were false prophets, and it is possible that some may
have referred to Jesus as “god” just as others are called God or gods,
including, angels, and even glorified members of the Church, if the Trinitarian
claim is true, that the first church fathers believed and taught Jesus is the
SAME ONE TRUE GOD, than the Trinitarians are themselves the ones who are
proving the first church fathers or at least some, who believed and taught
Jesus is GOD, are the FALSE prophets, which could very well be the case.
I will let you make your own mind up, by leaving you with TWO of countless articles by people who believe and teach Jesus is GOD, who seem to believe and FOLLOW the actual people who St John, St Peter and Jude must have warned us to be careful of, and taught us NOT to FOLLOW the false prophets, who come in sheep’s clothing.
You will now see MOST of the Christian population FOLLOW and BELIEVE some of the Apostolic Fathers who must have been some of the FIRST FALSE PROPHETS.
This will REVEAL who are the FALSE PROPHETS of TODAY.
What you are about to see below is how accurate Jesus teachings are, when He said: a tree is known by its fruit. Because false prophets PROVE with their own hands who are the actual false prophets they believe and FOLLOW, which is why MOST of Christianity is BURSTING with FALSE teachers, preachers and prophets, where it is very easy to see how the blind are leading the blind, which is why the modern churches of today are full of unbiblical teachings, where MOST people are PAYING to be CONNED into hearing a FALSE Jesus and Gospel, that was not taught by Jesus and His disciples.
A Tree and Its Fruit
43“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Notice what Tim Barnett says on his web site, that he is PROUD to believe and FOLLOW:
Nine Early Church Fathers Who Taught Jesus Is God?

Second article.
It is also interesting to notice below how others who believe Jesus is GOD, and yet in their other hand admit the Early Church Fathers were the FIRST false prophets. 
For this full article,
Link to this web site here.
Notice how the writer of the
article above writes: According to what is written, they were Catholic liars.
Not only does this seem to agree with my own research that the same concept of the PAGAN TRINITY of one GOD as THREE, was not destroyed by Christianity, but adopted by Christianity, and was first adopted by the Catholic church, that MOST now follow.
NOTICE THE TRIPLE (THREE DEITY’) IS IDENTICAL, WITH THE TRINITY, WHICH MOST CHRISTIANS WORSHIP, TODAY.
History has truly repeated
itself. True prophets, teachers, and preachers are rejected, while FALSE
prophets, teachers, and preachers are praised and accepted.
And those who claim to be
following the ONE TRUE GOD, have returned to idolatry, and have gone back to
worshiping the PAGAN TRIPLE (THREE DEITYS), and break the greatest commandment
in Mark 12:29, by believing the Catholic teachings, that GOD is THREE called
the TRINITY, instead of believing the truth, that GOD is ONE GOD ALONE, and
Jesus is truly His only BEGOTTEN LITERAL Son.
do you say of him
whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? John 10:36.
This seems to agree with history's
greatest scientists Sir Isaac Newton, who believed the Roman Catholic Church,
was misguided in its interpretation of Christianity, and had returned to idolatry.
Jesus and St John, and St Peter, and St Paul, and Jude’s, statement’s about false teachers deceiving MOST, are most shockingly, and certainly RELIABLE, proved by the hands of the false teachers of today themselves.
For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 1:4. English Standard Version.
