Contradiction with Jeremiah 14:14
Jeremiah speaks against false prophets, stating they prophesy lies, contradicting Matthew 24:5 where many claim to come in Jesus' name, deceiving 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.
Contradiction with 1 John 4:1
Encourages testing spirits to see if they are from God, contrasting Matthew 24:5 that warns of being deceived by those claiming authority.
1 John 4:1: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:15
Warns of false prophets in sheep's clothing, which aligns with but also contradicts Matthew 24:5 by emphasizing internal appearances rather than outright claims.
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 2:1
Discusses false teachers among people, subtly contrasting with Matthew 24:5 which focuses on those claiming Christ's identity.
2 Peter 2:1: But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Contradiction with Mark 13:6
Similar in theme but differs by emphasizing that many will come saying, "I am he," instead of just coming "in my name" as in Matthew 24:5.
Mark 13:6: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.
