Welcome... Thanks for your story... Just two simple rules - Agree with the Apostles Creed and refrain from discussing the Trinity. Great that you already have friends here. This is a Friendly Bible Study and we learn together.

Peter- can you please define what you mean by Prophet in a New Testament sense.

OK ready for the next session ??? Home work - read Acts chapter 2. I will kick it off early next week - it should be a good one... May the Lord inspire us as we consider his precious Scripture.

Yes - if you first define what a Prophet is... Was Peter a prophet when he predicted the immediate death of Sapphira? Is a Prophet one that brings the Voice of God by the Spirit to believers? 1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take...

Excellent - and you appreciate that one Scripture cannot void another - and that Paul penned 1 Cor 14 after the verse you quote. It is not a matter of 'either or' it is a matter of 'both and'.

How do you then account for John's Revelation?

What point are you trying to make ? By the way you are quoting another verse - I quoted 1 Cor 14:1 English Standard Version Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. Berean Standard Bible Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts...

I woke one morning with a vivid vision of Yugoslavia - Gravestones with folks trapped behind them and Western Engineers coming in with the tools to release them. This was 6 months before the devastating war broke out in the country. I contacted the Slavic Gospel Mission and passed the warning...

Amos 3:7 Certainly the Lord God does nothing Unless He reveals His secret plan To His servants the prophets.

English Standard Version Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. Berean Standard Bible Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. Berean Literal Bible Earnestly pursue love, and earnestly desire...

I tend to let scripture speak for itself. I simply pointed out that to earnestly desire the Spiritual gifts is taught by Paul.

1 Corinthians 14:1 Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

This raises a bigger issue - Paul prayed for the Spirit of Revelation to be strong among his flocks. Further they were expected to feast upon the inspiration he presented. This is because Scripture alone has been set apart by God as our supreme source of Truth. They prayerfully studied his...

A fundamental issue I have with this thread is that ones role spiritually is to be confirmed by others, not one'self.

Yes, a more sure test of a prophet is not to predict the likely, but rather the impossible or very unlikely. Introducing a Prophet should induce a feeling of being uncomfortable... This is the reverse of what is common today - the introduction is designed to promote feeling good.

Hey - isn't it funny how we view one another - I have had a high regard for you ever since your posts on CF Rejoice with those who rejoice... It is all about Him - remember the hymn "you in your small corner, and I in mine ?

Hey - given your background, you will be interested to hear an incident that happened back in the day. I attended Spreydon Baptist Church in Christchurch for 7 years. My home group leader, David, was a geologist who analysed rock samples from Antarctica. He later became a leading light in...

A gentle question... In the light of your leaning on the writings of others, how do you respond to the scripture that states God hating the prophets who steal one another's words???

I am here to encourage. Many hear Him but are hesitant to talk about it. Frankly it is those with whom we are in close fellowship that should weigh our experiences of Him, not some No-Name in cyberspace. I am getting on in life and have nothing to lose by testifying about how He has showed up...

REVELATION 1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
