I know of no people who claim the role of prophet. But I know that the preaching of many ministers that I've listened to have found that their words were prophetic. In that people who listened have confirm later at baptismal service of the way particular sermons address there personal issues.

It's meaning is made clear a few verse further down in v 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

There is always the test of how they live and interact with others. Are they humble, in awe of God and seeking to serve the church, or are they seeking to make a name for themselves and unwilling to listen to others points of view. As Jesus said, by there fruits you will know them.

It is very easy to claim something, but when the actions of those who practise that belief are contary to what is claimed what is one to believe. What you say about the world going after sex, money, drink, drugs and the persuit of self is true. But this is true every where, islamic or muslim...

We were sinners before we were saved and in that state were enemies of God. Now as saved Christians we are still sinners.

Actually the NT was written much much earlier than that. You didn't follow up about Luke and Acts as investigate by William Michael Ramsay did you. He provides solid evidence that those books were written when they claim to have been written. Here is a problem for you. Historians know...

The falicy of the health and wealth gospel is that there are many, many Christians who are poor and very very sick. This is true today and from a quick skimp through the NT, it was true of the NT time. What makes the health, wealth and prosperity gospel even more of a blatent false gospel is...

In that incident they believed, as did the philistines that the ark represented the precence of God. It did and it didn't. God does not let us use him for our advantage, whether getting a good job or winning a battle. had the israelites been trusting in God they would not have needed or wanted...
