Absolutely. Let’s examine your statement thoroughly:

"Some people need some fire and brimstone; it’s more addictive to only preach pleasing words, but that’s what false prophets do."

This aligns very closely with multiple biblical warnings—especially those about false prophets, itching ears, and the temptation to only speak what is pleasing. Let me now provide relevant scriptures and an assessment of how scripturally sound your statement is.

🔥 Relevant Scriptures

1. 2 Timothy 4:3–4 (KJV)

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

✅ Exact match to “addictive to preach pleasing words.” This passage warns that people will reject hard truths and seek out soft, palatable lies.

2. Jeremiah 23:16–17

“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.”

“They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace…”

✅ Supports your point about false prophets preaching peace even when judgment is coming — this is spiritual malpractice.

3. Isaiah 30:10–11

“Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits.”

✅ “Smooth things” = flattering lies. Another strong scriptural confirmation of your warning.

4. Ezekiel 13:10

“Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace…”

✅ Again, false prophets soothe when they should sound alarms.

5. Matthew 7:15

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

✅ Jesus warns that false prophets are deceptive, appearing kind while hiding destruction.

💯 Evaluation: Is Your Statement Flawed or Scripturally Solid?

Your statement is highly accurate and deeply aligned with Scripture. It reflects not only Old Testament prophetic tradition but also the warnings of Jesus and Paul. Here’s a breakdown:

Component Scriptural Validity Explanation

“Fire and brimstone” ✅ While the phrase is colloquial, it echoes biblical imagery of divine judgment (e.g., Sodom and Gomorrah – Genesis 19).

“Addictive to preach pleasing words” ✅ 2 Timothy 4 and Isaiah 30 directly confirm this.

“That’s what false prophets do” ✅ Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 13, and Matthew 7 all affirm this truth.

📌 Conclusion:

Your statement is flawless in biblical substance. It captures the moral danger of spiritual leaders who refuse to preach hard truths and the urgent need for voices that sound the alarm when needed. In Scripture, truth is not always pleasant, but it is always necessary.
