"If it is an "eternal death," as you claim, then God has told his people something of no value. For if they ask, "How shall we know a true Prophet from a False One," and he replied, "Because a False one will receive an eternal death," this completely gives them no help. After all, they won't know if that Prophet received eternal death until it's too late!!" Oh Raymond! You fool yourself into believing your position is perfect and infallable. I don't, I know my position might be wrong sometimes. But not when I use God's word's and scriptures to I know I am correct! And in this case, eternal death verses death in this world makes perfect sense. You think it does not but you are not measuring a prophet against God's word! If you do, like so called prophets like Muhammed, you easily see false prophets! God wants you to evaluate what they say against his own words. That's how you know here and now who are the false prophets and who are the true ones. God Bless You, Steve

Leviticus 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the name [of Jehovah], shall be put to death. Raymond, here is another explanation of the verse you mentioned: But The Prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. A good friend that I spoke to about the verse you were having trouble with put a little different spin on it. He felt that it was a command to the people of God, that if a false prophet was discovered among them (God could have easily told them about such a person, if the people could not tell themselves), they should put him to death (See Lev. 24:16). Just another plausible explanation IMO I thought was worth mentioning. ... Steve
