Opinions on prophets who make conflicting prophecies, particularly in elections, have been shared by entertainment critic, Arnold Asamoah Baidoo.
In his opinion, these conflicting opinions result in the discrediting of God, as prophets convey God’s message on earth and their predictions should harmonize.
Arnold emphasized during his appearance on United Showbiz how prophets’ negative behavior leads to a lack of trust among believers, ultimately weakening people’s faith in God.
“We are mocking God if one representative of God is saying A, the other B. It breeds mistrust. Some of the purposes for going to church is trust because we believe that something will happen there. So if I have 2 representatives of God giving me 2 different accounts of a particular thing, in my mind, I’ll feel I’m at the wrong place. Memberships are decreasing because of the lack of trust in pastors nowadays,” he stated.
“In 2019, Rev. Owusu Bempah said in December that Chief Imam would pass away. This triggered some Muslim youths to ambush his church, destroy properties, and assault some members. And so these prophecies can lead to unrest sometimes.”
Arnold then stated that prophets who make fake prophecies should be confronted.
“For me, to conclude, we have to call out prophets who make a declaration and it doesn’t come to pass,” he stated.
