Equal Opportunity
Since this nitwit is so set on maintaining old testament law about things like the borders of Israel, do we also get to stone him if he is a false prophet?

Future prophecy really hasn’t been part of the New Testament church. In the Old Testament, it was quite common, however, the penalty for false prophecy was death, so people didn’t just rattle off silly comments at random like this.
Deuteronomy 18:20-22
But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death.”
You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD ?” If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
“relatively good” doesn’t cut it!
Interestingly, the penalty for false prophecy is the same as for adultery, prostitution, rape, incest and sodomy. So we can simply apply any judgment that old Patty wants to levy on any of those in this list to him, since he has put himself into the same boat with them.
Matthew 7:2: For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

It the classic words of Martin Luther in the old b/w movie on his life “The Lord deliver me from my enemies… AND FROM MY FRIENDS!”
