29 - HAVING PITY ON A FALSE PROPHET
Deuteronomy 18:22 -- “When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.”
“Whoever refrains from slaying a false prophet because of his high standing, his mode of life being consistent with the prophetic calling, contravenes a prohibition… Likewise, he who refrains from declaring grounds for his condemnation, or stands in fear and awe of his words, is included among those who contravene the prohibition You shall not be afraid of him.”*
