Simple: If what he/she prophesies does not come true.
"When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him"
(Deuteronomy 18:22).

They will tell lies (but blame the intelligence) they will advocate crazy adventures in faraway places but dupe people into thinking that it will be quick and easy. They will hang around in pairs and and take turns speaking in tongues, while doing an ape walk. They will ignore the obvious, deny the truth and squander life to protect their legacies. Good job there's nobody like that around now.

Hi there...
I believe the best answers come straight from the Bible.
Isaiah 8.20 (I've included verse 19 for context):
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
----
I understand the 'law' to be all of the 10 commandments and the 'testimony' to be the testimony of Jesus.
Have a great day!

Many religions use this term as a way to discredit anyone who "prophecies" something that doesn't fit their religious agenda. Christians believe muslim prophets were false. Muslim believe christian prohets were false. And, I believe all prophets are false.
I like the screename by the way. Funny.

Jesus promised all prayers to be answered; alas, that has not come to pass. Jesus is a false prophet.

ok, in case you obtain all that, you of route have a concordance. i detect, if i do not get a note contained in the Bible in context, utilising that concordance to discover all cases and then studying the context for each, I capture it extra. and considering, the OT and the NT are immediately proper, in spite of if diverse historic languages, if i detect a similar meaning in a diverse note for OT (like you've "is come" because the note, so as that is extremely a similar meaning, albeit a diverse note in OT) and then discover each celebration of its use contained in the OT too, i visit get what it skill in context, in spite of if i visit't provide a sharp definition to describe it to some different person. yet, merely searching at what you've right here, with out context, it sounds like this is the desirable stressful - "he got here, he comes, he will come" all interior of one note. Or to shorten that into modern day use, "he's continually right here." That is going alongside with the countless nature of Jesus - he continually become and could continually be. he's. Did that help?

In Biblical terms it means those who are preaching another gospel to the one that distort the teachings of Jesus and the Church.
