Can a false prophet preach the truth?

Answered in 1 source

Yes, a false prophet can preach the truth but will ultimately lead no one to salvation.

Indeed, a false prophet can preach truthfully in terms of content, yet their character signifies they are not true servants of God. For instance, Balaam is a prime example as he spoke truthfully yet was characterized as a false prophet (2 Peter 2:15). The danger lies in the fact that truth spoken by a corrupt messenger does not lead to salvation; rather, it may lead to accountability without redemption. Ultimately, the efficacy of preaching hinges not on the doctrine stated but on the character of the one delivering it.
