Midrash for Sanhedrin 179:10

א"ר אבהו א"ר יוחנן בכל אם יאמר לך נביא עבור על דברי תורה שמע לו חוץ מעבודת כוכבים שאפילו מעמיד לך חמה באמצע הרקיע אל תשמע לו תניא רבי יוסי הגלילי אומר הגיע תורה לסוף דעתה של עבודת כוכבים לפיכך נתנה תורה ממשלה בה שאפילו מעמיד לך חמה באמצע הרקיע אל תשמע לו

'Raba holds with R. Hamnuna, and explains it according to his opinion'; If one prophesies to uproot an injunction of the Torah, whether idolatry or any other precept, he is liable, — each according to his views. Partially to confirm and partially to annul it. R. Simeon declares him exempt, and also the Rabbis.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In R. Hamnuna's view, R. Simeon is particularly mentioned to shew that he is exempt even from strangulation, a more lenient death than stoning; hence certainly from stoning. ');"><sup>17</sup></span> But as for idolatry, even if he said, 'Serve it to-day and destroy it to-morrow,' he is liable — each according to his views.
