🚨 A Dangerous Pattern Repeats
All around the world, billions follow religions that didn’t exist 2,000 years ago.
Why?
Because throughout history, false prophets have done the same thing:
They reject the true Jesus, claim new revelation, and create religions that lead people away from salvation.
It’s not new.
It’s not truth.
It’s a spiritual deception — warned about in Scripture.
“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.”
— 2 Corinthians 11:13
Let’s break down the pattern:
1. 🔥 They Deny the True Jesus
False religions always redefine Jesus.
Instead of worshiping Him as the eternal Son of God, they strip Him down to a prophet, angel, or enlightened man.
Examples:
- Islam: Jesus was just a prophet — not God’s Son, not crucified.
- Mormonism: Jesus is a created being, the spirit brother of Lucifer.
- Jehovah’s Witnesses: Jesus is Michael the archangel, not equal to the Father.
- New Age: Jesus is just a spiritual guide, like Buddha or Krishna.
“Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father.” – 1 John 2:23
“In Him all the fullness of Deity lives in bodily form.” – Colossians 2:9
If they get Jesus wrong, they get eternity wrong.
2. 📖 They Add New Revelation
Almost every false religion begins with someone claiming they received a new word from God — something the Bible never said.
Examples:
- Muhammad said the angel Jibril gave him the Qur’an, correcting the “corrupted” Bible.
- Joseph Smith said God gave him golden plates to restore the “true church.”
- Other cult leaders claim dreams, visions, or private messages that redefine salvation.
“Do not add to His words…” – Proverbs 30:6
“Even if we… preach a different gospel… let him be accursed.” – Galatians 1:8
The Bible is complete. Jesus is the final Word.
False prophets claim God missed something.
3. ⚖️ They Preach a Different Gospel
Instead of salvation by grace through faith, false prophets teach salvation by works, rituals, or hidden knowledge.
They turn the free gift of the cross into a religious checklist or secret code.
Examples:
- Islam teaches your good deeds must outweigh your bad — and even then, Allah might not forgive.
- Mormonism teaches you must do temple work, pay tithes, and keep LDS ordinances to be exalted.
- Jehovah’s Witnesses teach you must earn paradise by spreading Watchtower teachings.
“By grace you have been saved through faith… not by works.” – Ephesians 2:8–9
“The gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” – Romans 1:16
No man can earn heaven.
Only Jesus paid the price.
4. 👑 They Make Themselves the Authority
False prophets always place themselves between you and God.
They claim special access, private knowledge, or prophetic status that elevates them above Scripture.
Examples:
- Muhammad is considered the “seal of the prophets.”
- Joseph Smith said all Christian churches were wrong — and only he had the truth.
- Modern spiritual gurus claim enlightenment and authority without the Bible.
“You will know them by their fruits.” – Matthew 7:16
“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” – Jeremiah 23:1
They don’t point to Jesus — they point to themselves.
✝️ One Truth Still Stands
One God. One Cross. One Savior. One Gospel.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” – Hebrews 13:8
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” – John 14:6
You don’t need a religion.
You don’t need a prophet in the middle.
You need the real Jesus.
Repent.
Reject false prophets.
Trust in the One who died and rose again.
