Test the Spirits

Regarding “On Prophets and the Prophecy,” Jesus warned that one of the primary signs of the end of the age was false prophets and mass deception:

Matthew 24
And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them, “Watch out, so that no one leads you astray, because many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will mislead many.

And many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.

because false Messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform great signs and wonders in order to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen.

Pay attention! I have told you beforehand.

Paul, echoing Christ, wrote that the great apostasy is driven by mass deception of the faithful. John identified false prophets with the spirit of antichrist.

Here are some of those passages that instruct us to test, test, and test the prophets and their prophesies against the Word of God.

1 Thessalonians 5:19-22
Do not quench the spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt, but test everything and hold on firmly to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil.
1 Corinthians 14:29
And let the prophets speak by two or three, and let the others thoroughly examine what was said.
1 John 4:1-3
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you know the spirit is from God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; indeed, this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and even now it is already in the world.

Matthew 7:13-23
Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. How narrow is the gate and constricted is the road that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are destructive, greedy wolves. You will recognize them by their fruit.

Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? In the same way, every healthy tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot produce bad fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

So then, you will recognize them by their fruit. Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many miracles in your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!’

1 John 2:3-6
And this is how we know that we have come to know him: if we keep his commandments. Whoever says, “I have come to know him,” and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps his word, the love of God has truly reached its goal in this person. This is how we know that we are in union with him: the one who says he remains in union with him is obligated to walk just as he walked.
1 Timothy 6:3-5
If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words—the words of our Lord Jesus Christ—and with the doctrine that leads to godliness, he is conceited, knowing nothing, but has a morbid interest in speculations and disputes about words. From this only comes envy, strife, defaming speech, evil suspicions, and constant arguing among people whose mind is corrupt and has been robbed of the truth, who assume that godliness is a means of procuring gain.

2 Corinthians 11:2-4
But I fear that just as the serpent thoroughly deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will somehow be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is in Christ. For if someone comes who preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different good news, which you did not accept, you put up with that easily enough.

Jeremiah 23:16,28
This is what Yahweh of Armies says, “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They fill you with false hope. They speak visions from their own hearts, and not out of the mouth of Yahweh.

The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? says Yahweh.

Colossians 2:18
Let no one disqualify you from the prize who is delighting in false humility and the worshiping of angels, going into detail about visions he has seen, being puffed up with pointless notions by his fleshly mind…
Ezekiel 13:1-8
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh!’ This is what the Lord Yahweh says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! O Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the waste places. You have not gone up into the gaps, nor built up the wall for the house of Israel so they can stand in the battle on the Day of Yahweh. They have seen falsehoods and divinations that are lies. They say, ‘Yahweh says,’ but Yahweh has not sent them, and yet they cause others to hope that their word will be fulfilled.  Have you not seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you say, ‘Yahweh says,’ even though I have not spoken? Therefore this is what Lord Yahweh says: Because you have spoken falsehoods and seen lies, therefore behold, I am against you, says Lord Yahweh.
Deuteronomy 13:1-5
“If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and he says, ‘Let’s go after other gods,’ that you have not known, ‘and let’s serve them,’ and the sign or the wonder comes to pass about which he spoke to you, you are not to listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams, for Yahweh your God is testing you to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You must walk after Yahweh your God and fear him, and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you must serve him and cling to him. That prophet or that dreamer of dreams must be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, to draw you aside out of the way that Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you must eliminate the evil from the midst of you.

Time and again scripture warns us to be alert, both from those who are overtly evil…

2 Peter 2
But false prophets also arose among the People, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their unrestrained behavior, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed, and in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation, pronounced long ago, is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

But these people, like unreasoning animals (creatures of instinct born to be captured and destroyed), defame things of which they are ignorant, and in their destructive ways they also will be destroyed, suffering harm as the wage of unrighteousness. They consider it a pleasure to indulge themselves in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, indulging in their deceitfulness even while they feast with you. They have eyes full of adultery and are unable to cease from sin. They entice unstable souls and have a heart that has been trained in greed. Cursed children!

For by speaking grandiose, empty words, they entice, by appealing to the desires of the flesh (that is, by unrestrained behavior), those who have just escaped from peopled who live in error.  They promise them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption. For a person is a slave to whatever overcomes him.

…and those who are not:

2 Corinthians 11:13-15
For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.  And no wonder, for the Adversary disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.

    YEP!Hence why so much of the sphere is desolate and left mostly abandoned by MAN & GOD alike!!

    Also update on TRUE{as in military code of honour & ”conduct”-NOT in a sex=romance context of the world, the flesh and the devil-on the battlefield between soldiers on opposing sides which MOSES, JESUS & GBFM, as well as VOX, fought with Dalrock about in the 2010s} chivalry from this jvangeld guy plus more on hierarchy from info.

    Christianity is about the Spiritual impacting the body. God in the flesh. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The New Creation.

    Faith resulting in works. Grace perfecting Nature not abolishing it. The Sacramental presence of God

    The SSH wouldn’t exist without the behavioral patterns that underlie it. And the behavorial patterns would likely have an unfallen analogue. With the absence of “Gamma” or “Omega” behavioral pattern and personality. But with the rest likely to ensure that the Corporate Body works in Harmony and Interdependent Communion.

    Not everyone is meant to be a Head of other Men with the Behavioral pattern suited to it and so on.

    What surprises me is that you have done all this without getting a reaction from the man himself. It could be that your audience is smaller than Jordan Peterson’s, so he doesn’t see any value in ankle-biting you. On the other hand, he and Dalrock almost came to blows over chivalry several times. Dalrock decided not to press the issue.

    Of course, everyone here has earned their opinion of VD through long experience. I’ll repeat for the new folks: we’ve been around this block before, and many of us stood up for him in the same way you are doing now.”

    YES! Of course ”jack” like most Johnny -come -lately ”red pill” ”genius” generic chump ”leaders” barely exist as MOSES, Jesus, and GB4M are NOT on their sites nor their reddish blue-pilled side of lawless wanton butthext BUT instead on the side of TRUTH, JUSTICE, HONOR, GOODNESS & the HOLY SCRIPTURES way (as they have been since day one)!

    Outside of the basic Alpha and Beta, I haven’t bothered to learn all the other proposed categories or seen the benefit of trying to categorize people and their behaviors into all those other nerd-invented “Greek letter” categories.

    So, I have no idea what “Σ Frame” even means, and I’m just fine with not knowing. When people start writing about any of those other categories, I just skim and skip on down to see if there is any discussion of topics that are of interest to me like hand sodomy or wife & kids executing as a ”husband”. I have no desire to participate in their nerd-war of name calling using Greek letters. When I see someone start writing about sigmas, omegas, gammas, lambdas, and zetas, it only informs me of their own (antisocial) choice to write using their geek group’s own private code over communicating using commonly known terminology.

    WHY CAN’T EVERYONE BE (OPEN-MINDED) AS that yes? instead of ”using (niche)their geek group’s own private code over communicating using commonly known terminology.”Such as blue pill and red pill huh? So puh-puh-please( as red pill pope ”jack” likes to say) join ”sparkly”, MOSES, JESUS, and GBFM, Derek & MOD in being pro-social & (openminded) huh? Don’t be like ”jack”, VOX, and others as WE”/ I just skim and skip on down to see if there is any discussion of topics that are of interest to me like hand sodomy or wife and kids executing as a ”husband”. I have no desire to participate in their nerd war of name calling using Greek letters.” to make people tire of
    and stop liking the redpillosphere to discredit it sirs as it already self-discredits itself enough lads.

    As WE (especially ”sparkly” & GBFM) avoid (antisocial) nerd wars of name-calling others whenever possible.

    ”jack” over at sf lately has been wondering and saying ”why does the ”MANosphere” fails every time with or without ”genius” ”redpill” chump ”leaders!?””

    Here’s the main reason why:
    ”they” like ALL so-called ”Christians” as well as feminists see no value in MENZ & boyz apart from helping while harming women in butthext and their sacred, ‘traditional’ and ”Conservative”since 2nd wave feminism women’s sports. Example?
    HERE today from Spawnys:

    No one wants to talk about the real problem: male disposability when it comes to women, butthext and their sacred, ‘traditional’ and ”Conservative”since 2nd wave feminism women’s sports.

    That is just part of the issue. Men have always been expendable, be it in war or dangerous jobs. And they probably always will be.

    The aspect that is different now is that men are not rewarded for doing so. In the past, it started with general respect, just for being a man. Then there was the respect that came with a job, be it a soldier or laborer. The men were rewarded with a wife and family if he would work to make it happen.

    This all maybe compensated for the feministic tradconnic male disposability, at least a little bit. But that is gone. There is hostility. Indifference would be better instead of constant hatred & MURDER of MENZ & BOYZ BY SUPPOSED ”REDPILL” TRADCON FEMINISTS.”

    How does all that mesh with the NT & JESUS words though that the ”Christian MANosphere” supposedly loves yes?:

    Luke 9
    King James Version
    9 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

    2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

    3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

    4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

    5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

    6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

    7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

    8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

    9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

    10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

    11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

    12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

    13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

    14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

    15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

    16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

    17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

    18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

    19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

    20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

    21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

    22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

    23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

    24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

    25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

    26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

    27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

    28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

    29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

    30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

    31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

    32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

    33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

    34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

    35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

    36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

    37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.

    38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

    39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

    40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

    41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

    42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

    43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

    44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

    45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

    46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

    47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

    48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

    49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

    50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

    51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

    52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

    53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

    54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

    55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

    56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

    57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

    58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

    59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

    60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

    61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

    62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

    YES have most ”redpiller” ”Christians” bid their reality-denying family & precious filled with butthext blue pilled world farewell to preach the kingdom or stayed ”redpilled” bluepilled tradcon feminists still to this day?

    56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.

    Does the ”MANosphere”(trying to steal the ROISSYosphere’s valour has NOT endured them to MOSES, JESUS & GBFM in the least) believe in that or ””protecting” sacred, ‘traditional’ and ”Conservative”since 2nd wave feminism” women’s feminist sports instead? At the cost of countless MENZ & young boys’ lives too is that ”Christian”?
    Like ”jack” the now ex-”redpill”(he’s deleted most ”redpill” site links to actively persecute them better for not joining his new cult) but Radix Fidem cultist is supposedly always worried about?
