1 | Prophet touched on the rib by God? | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 202976 | ||
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 |

Hi, Brad... Your question is one of the many reasons, no doubt, that Jews and Christians part company on the definition of terms. Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son. (Hebrews 1:1-2a ESV) Isn't it awesome that God "for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan, and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing?" Imagine the tough time we'd have otherwise! Since we live by EVERY word of God, we'd have to track down each and every claim to having heard from Him, validate it, and propagate it to the rest of the church. ...and people wonder why we are so particular about the doctrine of sola Scriptura! Sheesh. In Him, Doc |

I don't think most (myself included in that category not long ago) how subtle little changes in the way you phrase something can make a huge difference in what it truly means or how the meaning can be changed. I think many good Christian people who are trying to live by the Bible don't completely understand how important that we make sure we understand and grasp the meaning of the Bible and not try to make the Bible mean what we want it to. Our Pastor has such a passion for this and I'm very thankful that he does, because up to six months ago I wouldn't have approached the Word of God in that manner. I still have ALOT to learn and I'm excited! A week doesn't go by without me learning something new. Now I have to get back to work. Brad |

Dear Brad, I'm home myself today. Consequently, I can bug you without violating Ephesians 6:6 myself! :-) Paul bases an entire theological argument on whether or not a word in Hebrew is plural or not. If God is that particular about how He communicates, then ought we not to embrace that same kind of particularity as we express the truth? Your pastor is to be commended. Very few, these days, understand the importance of these fundamental doctrines. I pray that as he feeds the flock, that he'll be able to give account with joy, because you've submitted to his teaching (Hebrews 13:17). By the way, you should be encouraged, too! Love of the Word of God is an evidence of His work in your life. It is good to have you in the forum! In Him, Doc PS We've ALL got a lot to learn! :-) |
