The verse about false prophets. I mean, not Falwell specifically, but that whole area of preacher. Do you think the verse could be a prediction of the future corruption of Christianity that we're seeing today?

Nope, guess again.
There are genuine false prophets, but Falwell wasn't one of them.
David Koresh
Jim Jones
Joseph Smith
Charles Russell
Muhammad
Mary Baker Eddy
Ellen G. White
etc.
These are folks who have legitimately perverted the Gospel and scriptures, teaching a salvation other than what Jesus taught and the Apostle Paul spread.

I believe we need to read verses 13-15, respectivetly here to
clearly understand the text, as believers we need to be aware of what Jesus' is saying here; that there will be those among us who do not teach the True Message of the Bible.
Not all prophets, teach the truth, as believers we need to study the Word, so that we can discern a truth from a untruth.

I didn't know Falwell. And I don't pay attention to TV Evangelists. So other than having a typical Legalistic message, and a larger appetite for political things than most other Legalists that I have heard, he could have been, but he might not have been.

Christ was well acquainted with Satan’s plot. He knew that after he finished his work on earth many more impostors would rise up to confuse and delude future generations. He warned of this when he said: “Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them.” “Look out that nobody misleads you; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying: ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.” And so they have.
Everyone has to Render an Account for their own actions. Regardless.

the corruption has been a part of Christianity since the late first century. In our day the idiots have better tools for confusing the sheep. They are getting their rewards now.

Jesus grow to be bearing on the jewish custom of rabbinic regulation. what's rabbinic regulation? Rabbinic regulation grow to be the actual incontrovertible fact that the priestly line persevered the authority of Mosses and Arron. And that there rulings have been scriptural regulation. however the priestly line grow to be polluted via Herod the super. those adult adult males sure rules on the individuals, they themselves ought to no longer adhere to. that's a actual short explanation to this scripture. And sure that's suitable yet at the instant. Many preachers and instructors at the instant placed greater on their human beings than what's interior the observe of God. whilst others carry forth and practice Greed. Others carry forth and practice intolerance. some carry forth an practice indifference to the poor. nonetheless others carry forth and practice hate. while Jesus taught us and specific commanded us to love, or appreciate and manage kindly all human beings. God bless

I imagine that such people existed in Matthew's day, as well, and long before.

Sounds like he's talking about Paul to me. Did you know that the disciples were against each others gospels?

It actually tells us to be aware of anyone who takes away from the true Word of God.
