How could God be wrong or lie? A false prophet is a liar of his own accord.Prophesy has a long and important place in Christianity. I'm asking about those that claim God told them something was going to happen at this time, but it doesn't happen. Should we assume God was mistaken, or perhaps lying, or is that false prophet claiming the authority of God's word for personal gain? Should a person like that maintain their position of prominence in the Christian community?
Why would a Christian hold any such person in a position of prominence?
