In the bible, Jesus made repeated warnings of false prophets:
Matthew 7:15 ~ "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Matthew 15:19 ~ "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies"
Matthew 24:11 ~ "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."
Jeremiah 14:14 ~ "Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart."
Zecariah 10:2 ~ "For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because [there was] no shepherd."
Maybe the unpopular path comment was particular to me. Being a chief sinner and now living a life free of porn, wordly desires, vulgarity and self centerdness seems very strange and unpopular.
As a brother in Christ recently told me, "The things of the earth grow strangely dim."
