How do we distinguish false Christ & false Prophets according to Our Lord?

false Christ & false Prophets will always detour in prompting up the secular world of flesh, in political or religious forms WITHOUT Scriptures, to show they are of God Spirit. the course they follow will always be anti-christ , that is anything instead of Jesus Spiritual teachings and anything instead of Jesus Spiritual teachings.

They will falsely flaunt the mark of mankind as divine or sanctified. They will twist and pervert the Word of God to push forward their agendas of hate, fear, exclusiveness, anger, politics, religions, opinionated carnal minds, sexual immoralities, lusts, and drunkenness of Babylon.

They imply 'flesh' into their proclamations and false teachings , this is the surest sign they are of their father satan a murderer and a liar from the beginning.

Yeah....
You just keep believing that...
But I'd bet a million dollars that your faith has wavered from time to time expressed in vivid actions you have done.
So.... Wanna try again?
You, nor any human, has and holds perfect theology. We are human....no better than Gomer.

HERE ! Let me use AI to " TRY AGAIN" to organize scripture into an convincing argument, for you.
AI said:
"The Law Can Be Kept Through Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit."
Below is a concise overview of how Ellen G. White’s writings and the King James Bible describe keeping God’s law through Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Each major point is paired with a few scriptural references (KJV) that illustrate the principle."
Click to expand...
1. Christ Is the Mediator Who Enables the Law to Be Kept
Why the law cannot be kept by our own effort
  • Romans 3:20 – “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall be no flesh justified.”
  • Galatians 2:16 – “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law…”
Christ’s atoning work makes obedience possible
  • Romans 8:3‑4 – “God sending his Son…to be the righteousness of them that believe…that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us.”
  • John 14:6 – “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
“Christ is the great High Priest who intercedes for us, and He alone can give us the power to obey the commandments.” ( The Ministry of Healing, p. 417)​
“Through the blood of Christ we receive the cleansing that enables us to keep the law, not by our own strength, but by His righteousness imparted to us.” ( Steps to Christ, p. 33)​
​
2. The Indwelling Holy Spirit Gives Power to Live Righteously
The Spirit’s role in sanctification
  • Romans 8:9‑11 – “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit…the Spirit that dwelleth in you…shall quicken your mortal bodies.”
  • Galatians 5:22‑23 – The fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, … self‑control).
The Spirit as the “law‑giver” within us
  • John 14:26 – “The Holy Ghost…shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance.”
  • 2 Corinthians 3:6 – “…the letter kills, but the spirit giveth life.”
“The Holy Spirit is the divine teacher who writes the law upon the heart of the believer, enabling him to obey it willingly.” ( The Great Controversy, p. 657)​
“When the Spirit of God dwells within us, the desire to keep the commandments becomes a natural outflow of love for Christ.” ( Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 307)​
​
3. Living Out the Law Through Faith‑Driven Obedience
Faith expresses itself in obedience
  • James 2:17 – “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead….”
  • 1 John 5:3 – “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments.”
The law is fulfilled in love, empowered by the Spirit
  • Matthew 22:37‑40 – Love God and neighbor; “On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
  • Romans 13:8‑10 – “He that loveth not doeth not the will of God…Love worketh no ill to his neighbour.”
The practical outworking
“The true Christian walks in the light of the law, not as a burden, but as a delight, because the Spirit has placed it upon his heart.” ( Education, p. 156)​
“Obedience is the fruit of a living relationship with Christ; it is the evidence that the Spirit dwells within.” ( Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 258)​
​
4. Key Take‑aways;
Christ’s mediation His sacrifice supplies the righteousness that makes obedience possible. Rom 8:3‑4; John 14:6

Indwelling Spirit The Holy Spirit writes the law on our hearts and gives the power to keep it. Rom 8:9‑11; Gal 5:22‑23

Faith‑driven obedience Genuine faith produces works—keeping the law becomes a natural expression of love. James 2:17; 1 John 5:3

Love fulfills the law Loving God and neighbor is the essence of the law, enabled by the Spirit. Matt 22:37‑40; Rom 13:8‑10

Practical Application
  1. Seek continual reliance on Christ – daily prayer acknowledging Him as the source of your ability to obey.
  2. Invite the Holy Spirit’s guidance – ask for the Spirit to illuminate Scripture and convict you of areas needing change.
  3. Live out love – let love for God and others be the motive behind each act of obedience, remembering that the Spirit produces this love within you.
By recognizing that Christ provides the righteousness and the Holy Spirit supplies the power, believers can truly keep God’s law—not as a legalistic duty, but as a heartfelt response to the grace already received.

Jesus said, "IF you Love me, you WILL keep my commandments" <~~~ I Love Jesus to the best of my hearts ability, my minds understandings, and my souls talents. Matt 22:37

“God’s Law” in the King James Version (KJV)

AI said:
The phrase “God’s law” (or “the law of God”) appears several times in the KJV and is used to refer to the divine commandments and principles that God has revealed to humanity. Below are the main ways the term is understood in the biblical text:
Click to expand...

1761044167810-png.281062

Summary of Meaning
  1. Divine Commandments – The specific rules God gave (e.g., the Ten Commandments) that dictate right behavior.
  2. Moral Order – The broader ethical framework reflecting God’s holy nature, often summarized by love for God and neighbor.
  3. Guidance for Life – Scripture itself is described as “the law of God,” providing wisdom, correction, and instruction for believers.
  4. Fulfilled in Christ – In the New Testament, the law’s ultimate purpose is realized in Jesus’ teaching and sacrificial work, where obedience is expressed through love.
Thus, when the KJV mentions “God’s law,” it is pointing to both the concrete statutes given to Israel and the timeless moral principles that continue to guide believers today.
AI said:
Define "God's Law" in relation to the following sentence? "By recognizing that Christ provides the righteousness and the Holy Spirit supplies the power, believers can truly keep God’s law—not as a legalistic duty, but as a heartfelt response to the grace already received."
Click to expand...

Biblical foundation (KJV)
  1. Holiness and perfection – “For the law of God is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.” (Romans 7:12)
  2. A law of love – “Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart… and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.” (Deut 6:5‑6) – the law begins in the heart.
  3. Guidance for life – “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul…” (Psalm 19:7) – it shapes character, not merely external behavior.
Together these verses present God’s law as holy, perfect, and rooted in love, intended to transform the heart rather than impose a mechanical set of rules.

Integrated definition for the sentence

God’s law, is the holy, perfect standard God gave humanity—a law of love that mirrors His character and points to Christ’s righteousness. Because Christ supplies our righteousness and the Holy Spirit supplies the power to obey, the law is kept not as a legalistic duty but as a grateful, heartfelt response to the grace already received.​

In other words, when believers recognize Christ’s righteousness and the Spirit’s power, the law ceases to be a rigid checklist and becomes the natural outflow of a transformed heart—a living expression of love toward God and neighbor.

In other Word's; Jesus said, "IF you Love me, you WILL keep my commandments"

Dino ? If you are claiming to "Love Jesus" ... HOW? , can you believe that you do not NEED to keep His = (God's) Commandments?

~~~ Blessings Folks ~~~

If I may inter seed in fellowship....

Christ means the 'Anointed one of God' or the 'Anointing from God' or the 'Messiah of God' or the 'Christ of God'.

The Law of God is fulfilled by Jesus the Christ of God by :

John 8:14
Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

witness...

John 5:36-37
But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me. / And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

John 16:28
I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”

John 5:39
You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is those very Scriptures that testify about Me;

John 5:36
But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

God's Law is the Law of Christ :

1 Corinthians 9:19
19For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;

20and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law;

21to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law of Christ), that I might win those who are without law;

22to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

witness...

John 7:16
14Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 15And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

16Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

>>>> Moses law is also given to Moses by God :

Nehemiah 10:29
are joining with their kinsmen, their nobles, and are taking on themselves a curse and an oath to walk in God’s Law, which was given through Moses, God’s servant, and to keep and to comply with all the commandments of GOD our Lord, and His ordinances and statutes;

>>>> However the Word of God states, the Law of Moses is only until John :

Luke 16:16
"The Law of Moses and the writings of the prophets were in effect up to the time of John the Baptist; since then the Good News about the Kingdom of God is being told, and everyone forces their way in.

>>>> As a new creation in Christ of God, the Law of Christ should never be equated with the Law of Moses. Faithful Believers are told, "with the changing of the priest comes the changing of the law."

Hebrews 7:12
For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.

>>>> The law of Moses is now dead-ink, for the letter kills, As spoken through scriptures.

I didn’t ask you what a bot thinks about the law; I asked you what you mean by the term. When did you last appear at the temple, as the law requires? What kind of animal did you bring for your offering, as the law requires?

You asked me what I think of the of the term, "God's Law" ? I used AI to delineate, what the KJV tells us "what God's Law is .." as "God's Law" is a multifaceted concept. You seem to be confusing these different aspects, as is evident by your confusing Jesus' Commandments, moral principles, The Ten Commandments, with God's ceremonial law, which was done away with, at the Cross. We are NOT required to go to temple & sacrifice "bulls & lambs" as was required of Israel BEFORE our Lord Jesus' fulfilling the Mosaic Ceremonial Law, becoming "OUR" sacrificial Lamb of God.

We "Jesus believing Christians" .. believe Jesus, when He says;
Matt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass, one stroke or one pronunciation mark shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

  1. Which is why I'm trying to get you to admit to "claiming to Love Jesus" yet arguing against obedience, to God's Moral Law which is being typical of those who are "False Prophets"
Matthew 24:11 , Matthew 24:24, 2 Peter 2:1, Deuteronomy 13:1-5, ETC

HOW do you believe that you do not NEED to keep God's Commandments? (to be a believer of Jesus and His Salvation)

@ Dino246
Okay ! I've tried communicating with you, but you don't want be transparent (honest) to the forum.
I've got better things to do than, play your game of evasion & deception.

You have done a good job at being an example of a "False Prophet" (<~~ On Thread TOPIC:) ) which is why I chose you ... as you are so typical, and a good "object lesson" for the Folks here, paying attention.

Matthew 10:14-16 King James Version (KJV)
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Matthew 7:15-20 (KJV) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Why by their fruits you shall know them.

Well Jeremiah 31,34 is speaking from a future time with a new covenant. So you should not take verses out of the context.
Present their is no only living human who can claim that he knows fully God. We know from him what he has revealed in his word. Not more.

You need to read Romans 1. We know God exists by His creation and HIS word.
