Whenever you say, "thus saith the Lord" it means God spoke in your ears. If it doesn't come to pass, God never said it! Period! Which means that you lied on God. That makes you a lieing prophet! A false prophet is someone who is leading you towards worshiping individuals and idols rather than the creator.
@erichotts4685 then what were the prophets of Baal, were they true or false prophets? Also, what are the prophets of the Antichrist, are they true or false prophets? Now, was Balaam a true or false prophet?
@@terrencehall7264 I see the distinction you are making. 1 Kings chapter 13 comes to mind. I am wrong about this, I had assumed the Bible categorized both types of prophets the same in as far as both would be put to death and that much is true, but Deuteronomy chapter 18 labels them as prophets not false prophets as I falsely remembered. My apologies. I think now that your distinction will only help bring clarification, and is a good thing.

No no it makes you a false prophet. Read Jeremiah, for clarification on this. Many examples of "lying prophets" being called false prophets.
