I'm sure this bit of wisdom from Witness Lee will make itself known eventually:
"The unique Creator, God, is triune, signified by the number three. Since the creation is represented before God by four living creatures (Revelation 4:6-9), the number four signifies creatures, especially man. Hence, three plus four means that God is added to the created man, and thus His purpose is being accomplished. The church is not only the creature, but the creature with the Creator as the Triune God dispensed into her. She is the real number seven: the real three, the Triune God, added to the real four, created man. Therefore the number seven denotes completion in God’s move, first in the old creation and then in the new creation, the church."

Thankfully false prophets can only deceive some people. The elect of God cannot be fooled.
.For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matthew 24:24 KJV)
False Prophets are identified by people who make false claims about scripture.
One example would be the Mormon Bible quote in John saying Jesus was a son of God.
Another example would be that Paul wrote in Romans 2 that all Gentiles have the law written in their heart.
Take the truth, change a word or two or perhaps simply say this is what was meant and presto you have a false prophet. Or perhaps a person continuing on spreading the false doctrine of the false prophet.

Due to your personal struggle understanding Romans, I strongly recommend you circumnavigate Witness Lee.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke Perhaps of interest: Today I installed the AstroMatrix astrology app on my phone, and the app listed "False Prophet" as one of the archetypes or themes indicated by my natal chart.
So, knowing this, I guess I had better consider how or whether to post in this forum from now on.

Hmm. I would have multiplied the 3 by the 4 and come up with 12.
However, I would not then add the 1 and the 2 in 12 to return to 3 -- somehow that kind of operation reminds me of headline writers straining for a pun, or people who dice up words to "reveal" hidden meanings, e.g., "at-one-ment".

The Greek in John that you refer to is the difference be tween "logos" and "Ho Theos".
One former "divine" or "godlike", the latter "Almighty".
It is incorrect to translate both as "God" capital "G", and I'm no Mormon.

Yeah, I figure you more as Jahova's Witness. I figure a revisiting of s banned member.
I could be wrong, but if I am right, I liked your opening videos.
