The stupidity of sin

[Huggy Bear]

And just looking him up on Google it turns out that there was a lot of controversy about him, calling him a false prophet etc and that he was heavily into the occult and contradicting the Bible. So with that in mind, I think the most likely explanation is that he was indeed not a Christian... to a believer he'd be a 'false prophet', but to everyone else, just a liar.

Did not the religious establishment in Jesus day refer to him as a devil Did they not accuse him of contradicting the law (scriptures?) Why would it be any different now?

15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

I get it, it's a lot to take in, but it's all according to scripture.

does not the bible state that God would send a prophet at the end times? John the baptist was sent to prepare the way for the first coming of Jesus as foretold in Malachi 3

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

In Malachi 4 there was another prophet promised to prepare the way for the second coming.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

I could show you where this goes all the way back to the book of Genesis (when I find the time, since it will take a lengthy post to present the evidence and tie everything in with the bible), although it will probably just be a waste of time, y'all won't be able to say that no one provided any evidence.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of evidence of God would you be willing to accept?
