, and i never knew that you had to train to become a prophet you make it sound like it's just a job, we who are not prophets do make mistakes even thou we are trying to be good christians,
what about all the so -called prophets in the past who told of the world ending on a certain day and had their believers committing suicide ,it was the devil tricking those people to go to hell
if you have noticed ray is very good at discerning the spirits

Amen Mark,
Bless your Holy Soul. You gave a good answer, so for all the others who will read this thread, I will attempt to clarify, or to explain just why a True Prophet of God can never give a False Prophecy.
We need to tell everyone who has doubts, that a True prophet of God can
never, I repeat,
Never give a false prophecy, as you have noted,
Because every prophecy this prophet of God speaks, is the words direct from God Himself. For the True Prophet of God, Never, I say, Never, gives a prophecy from his own understanding, Never chooses the words which he pronounces as the Word of God. So since it is The Holy Lord God who gives the prophecy, it means that it is God Himself who speaks through His Prophet.
I guess that there are so many out there who just are not able to grasp, or understand, that a Prophet of God, Never speaks for themselves on matters of God's Word. These people who do not understand, are so use to all the False prophets giving conflicting prophecies, that they cannot discern the Truth. So they choose, and pick, the version of a prophecy that they like, and reject all the rest. And we all know, for the Bible tells us, that they do not like the Prophecies that come from God, because many of those prophecies tell them of things they do not want to hear, the prophecies bring conviction upon them.
Now as for the question of Blue River.
I totally agree that we need to ask questions in order to learn. However, when you go to God for the answer to anything to do with God, then you will always get the right and True answer.
If a man ever once gives a prophecy which is false, he is branded as a False Prophet. And while there may have been prophecies which he gave before which were correct, and may again give prophecies
which appear to be correct, he still remains a False Prophet, and not one of his prophecies is to be trusted.
Yes He can repent, and be forgiven by the Lord. But the bible tells us to never trust him, so we know that even if the Lord had used him in the past as a prophet, once he gives a False prophecy, the Lord will not use him again as a prophet.
The reason is that if the Lord did continue to use him as a prophet, then it would make God a liar, when he said that all prophecies from God WILL HAPPEN AS GIVEN, and that anyone who gives a false prophecy is a false prophet. For God to use a man as one of God's Prophets, even after that man gives a false prophecy, would be saying that all of God's Prophets cannot be trusted in their prophecies, because you would never know if the prophecy he is giving is from God, and true, or from his own imagination, and false. And that is why God will never again use a man as a prophet of God once that man has given a false prophecy.
There are so very many verses in the Bible which play on this, that it would be impractical to try to quote any of them here. My suggestion would be to start with a pad of paper, Draw a line down the middle and label one site True Prophets, and on the other site label it False Prophets, and then starting at the start of the Bible (KJV), and as you read and come across any verse which speaks anything of a prophet, and what they do, and how they do it, then write it down on your pad of paper in the correct column, not just the verse number but write what you see that verse saying, By the time you reach the end of the Bible, You will have a perfect understanding of what a Prophet of the Lord is, and what a False Prophet is.
Believe me when I tell you that will really open your eyes, for
if you ask the Holy Spirit to help you to understand, you will be given understanding.
May the Lord God Jesus Christ Bless and keep each of you.
