 Wondering why no one was called a false prophet in the Masoretic text of the Old Testament. Was it simply because there was no Hebrew word for it? The word false prophet, pseudoprophetis, is in the Septuagint and New Testament. Yeah, it's there. I'm just trying to think of why you would think it's not there. Now, most of the time they're just called prophets, right? But let me just grab a reference or two here.
