Seems to be and this is my experience too - that when you're determined to be obedient, people will show up constantly to try to derail you. Circumstances also seem to change to try to get you to fail.
I probably will never fully understand that passage, not in this life. But good point on the lesson. People will tell you God wants you to do this when you know God said to do that. Go with what you know He said, in His Word. But aside from that, im thinking God caused the prophet to lie to test the other prophet. Just like when He sent lieing spirits into the prophets of another king of israel to cause him to go into battle so he can be killed. I can never remember which king that was
Interesting story, the way I’ve looked at this story is that it’s an allegorie, that paints a picture of some one turning back from the true focus of out faith which should be the cross. For example Jeroboam was offering up incense on the alter at Bethel, he should have been offering up a sacrifice at Solomons temple in Judea, which in the old testament was a picture of the cross to come. The man of God was instructed to correct him, then leave by a different way, this shows in God we can only go forward in our faith, not turn back in any way, or turn to a different way. When the false prophet found the man of God, he was sitting under the oak tree, this is the position we should always be in, as the oak tree represents the cross, so we should live our life in the shadow of the cross, however the old prophet comes to the man of God and tells him to go back to his place. I see two problems here, one is he is going back to an old doctrine that does not anchor their faith in the cross, it could be a doctrine of works, and second one is he is eating and drinking from the old way of teaching before he learnt the “message of the cross” which is the terminology the apostle Paul called it in 1 Corinthians 1:10. To summarize, its simply going back to old teachings that do not teach the “message of the cross”.
Fair enough. The young prophet was judged for disobedience. But does not say in the law that a lying prophet should be executed? This old fella lied to him. Why wasn’t he punished? why didn’t the old profit suffer for lying to the younger man of God?
Are you truly sure that only a prophet can speak what is in the Bible? Because if the Bible said that the law is for ever… why some people… not the Bible, say that the law is done away with? And where is the prophesy that said that the law, the sabbath and the feast are done away with?
Ni single Word of God will pass.. Jesus came to tighten the law. It is much more tighter than never before. And if we love the Lord we must obey his laws. Obedient comes automatically by the help of the Holy Spirit if we keep Jesus first
Very detailed explanation of this scripture. Thank you and God Bless ❤
I was really puzzled. Thanks for the lesson
