profit... I mean, prophet.

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

Miss?

"But the prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak... that prophet shall die. And you may say in your heart, `How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?' When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously."

Deut 18:20-22

I was thinking the same passage. For a dude who claims to be a prophet, I'd hope he'd be more versed in the law that supports it. :P
