I recently found myself doubting the existence of G-d. I started reading books about faith, proofs, and the like, but nothing really changed. I would really like to be a believing Jew, but I know it has to start with true faith. What should I do?
The concept of a “false prophet” only applies to prophecy. The greatness of a Torah scholar does not depend on his ability to predict the future. It depends upon his greatness in Torah, his exemplary character traits, and his devotion to God.
