Actually the problem is that there is no solid biblical definition of what a prophet is, only examples of them. My point in looking at Genesis 20:7 is that Abraham is identified as a prophet by God and we want to know what makes a prophet, a prophet (we already know who makes a prophet a...

You can disagree with me all you want and it won't affect the way I perceive you, but disagreeing with scripture, that's a problem. Besides, according to scripture, we're all evil. God alone is good. So you see you can agree with me and still be evil. The power of our testimony is not that we...

They immediately decided that the stink was industrial, but the gas that makes the rotten egg smell is sulfur dioxide (commonly associated with hellfire in popular lore) and is a normal gaseous component in volcanic eruptions. There was an eruption in Alaska on the same day and at least some of...

This is a rule we haven't covered yet, but first we should say that anyone who claims to be a "prophet" should first at least make the claim of being born again of the Spirit of God and a disciple of Jesus the Christ. That is, since the Spirit of Christ is the Spirit of prophecy, only those who...

Its opportune that I'm currently reading the books of the Law and in Deuteronomy at this time, so that some things are still fresh in my mind on this topic, and the Lord has been only too willing to show me what I've seen before and more for the sake of the edification of His church. Whether you...

In the interest of "staying on track" and minimizing arguments over issues that I have every intention of touching upon (and the concomitant rock throwing or mud slinging) I'll refer you all to a new post on topic: The School of the prophets: God's rules.

Personally, I don't sense any mind of God in you in the way you write posts. I've seen you discuss prophecy with others on this site and its ususlly a very uncharitable attack on biblical belief. It looks like you are trying to steer this discussion in the same direction. With regard to my quote...

If this were true no Christian would ever fall into sin. We have a new nature in Christ, but it wars against our old nature which remains with us until we die or are transformed in an instant at Christ's return. If this were true there would be no need for congregations to gather together for...

Great, but I'd prefer it if you'd be an active participant as you actually believe what the scripture says and don't appear to need to interpret it to say something else. :)

A perverse and wicked generation seeks a sign. I've heard many anecdotal stories of modern miracles within the church coming from reputable ministries on the radio. Its a shame that no one had the presence of mind to take a picture of a christian coming back to life when believed dead. Or took a...

He actually has been for approximately 20 years. I read scripture as a child, as a youth, and as a young man, but while some things were plain and obvious, much was incomprehensible to me until I received my Lord by faith, placing my trust in Him to deliver me from the consequences of my sin and...

Thank you so much. Part of the reason for the current state of affairs in the church is the disbelief in Christ's return, as much as disbelief in what the scripture actually says.

Well thanks once again for your input, but your statement invalidates the entire New Testament except the words in red. Good try though.

Thank you and Amen. I believe that Christ has placed us here and in this time to help keep the church from falling away, but those who disbelieve in prophecy also tend to think that the church is in great shape and doesn't need vision.

Thank you for your participation, this is great stuff.

Thank you, and I'm very aware of the stance of some fine and respectable members of the local "community" that have opposing views. I'll endeavor to remain civil at all times with these brothers, but I won't hide their sin either. My intent is to cover and teach what the bible calls prophecy...

This was a use of prophets, but not the use of prophets. They were purged from the church through the very same false doctrine you espouse, large wooden stakes, and fires hot enough to burn a person to death. They were purged because they challenged the authority of carnal minded church leaders...

This is just reformation dogma, not Biblical or accurate, with cherry picked scripture to support the oppression of the church, not its growth. The New testament scripture also tells us: 27. Now at this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28. One of them named Agabus stood...

You do understand that the NT verses you mention apply to born again believers in Jesus Christ, not nations, right? God doesn't give approval to some leaders and disapproval to others. He has given all of them authority, whether good or evil, and has placed them into power. God is Sovereign in...

This morning the Pastor at the church that I currently attend was teaching from Ephesians chapter 4 and specifically on the nature of spiritual gifts and their use in the church. Before he could make his plea for unity in the church and a spirit of volunteerism in the use of our gifts, he had to...
