In this Study Guide Cameron Diamond (The Parable of the Sower: An Exegesis) teaches followers of Jesus how to biblically identify and respond to false prophets and teachers by looking at God’s instructions to Moses and the Israelites in Deuteronomy 18:9-22.
In Deuteronomy 18:9-22 God gave His people a method for determining true prophets from false ones, and as Diamond demonstrates, when these criteria are properly understood in their original context they can be reasonably used for Christian living today.
There are many men and women in the twenty-first century who claim to be divinely sent by God with revelation beyond the Bible that contradicts it. In addition, there are others who claim to have new revelation that undermines the credibility and authority of the Bible.
As such, this guide helps Christians respond to those who identify themselves as Christian and yet teach ideals and model behaviors that are contrary to Scripture and historic Christian ethics and doctrines.
Also included in the Study Guide is a teaching synopsis that pastors and teachers can use in their churches or small groups.
