I'm not aware of one. The only rib story that comes to mind is the Adam and creation of Eve. If my memory serves me correctly (which it has mislead me before) I think Islam refers to Adam as a prophet and this might be where you are hearing this terminology. To the best of my knowledge, it is not in the Holy Scriptures. Brad |

Hi, Brad... I think you are right. Muhammadans do speak of Adam that way. You might be interested to know that in Judaism he is also considered a prophet. They broadly define prophet as anyone who has been the recipient of direct communication from God. Of course, I'd take that and anything else from Rabbinic tradition with a large grain of kosher salt. As a Jewish believer, I can say that with greater impunity. However, I think orthodox Christian interpretation, with the advantage of NT light, bears out a similar interpretation. In effect, anyone pronouncing the Word of God is functioning as a prophet. Regardless, as believers, having received the illumination of Scripture through the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 4:6), one might extend that definition to include everyone who is saved. Perhaps that is why the word prophet has dropped from common parlance, except among a few heterodoxical groups. The experience under the new covenant enjoys a greater intimacy with our Lord. In Him, Doc |

Interesting, I don't know what is more interesting, the fact I remembered something correctly or the definition of prophet. I always thought of a 'prophet' as someone who was writing or saying inspired words from God. Never really thought of it as someone that has had a direct communication from God. So does that mean everyone Jesus talked to in the New Testament is a ‘prophet’? (There I go thinking too much again.) Thanks for the info, Brad |

Brad: Thank you for taking the time to answer. I was reading the bible last night and I found the verse I was looking for; it is on Act 12:7 and it reads: 7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. I don’t know where I got from that is was a prophet and since I am reading the bible in Spanish it says that Peter was touched on the side which translated in Spanish can mean rib; also, it was an angel of God...big difference. Sorry for the confusion. God Bless. Anaiz |

Not a problem, I'm just glad we got it all figured out. You brought up an interesting point that we have been dealing with in our Wednesday evening Bible Study and that is dealing with translations and the correct interpretation of the Bible. Anyway, I could go on, but I guess I should get back to work. Brad |
