Subject: Is prophecy dead? |
Bible Note: Dear Matt, One layman to another. Thank you for your comments. They are good, and much calmer than some others I am getting :-) You are assuming a few things though, that I would like to address. 1) Prophets only predict the future. "But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation." 1 Corinthians 14:3 NASB. Your test would only work if predicting the future was the sole basis for 'prophet' status. 2) That all the 'wackos' out there are what I mean when I ask about present-day prophets. I have 'ear-witnessed' (sorry, I couldn't help it:-) responsible prophecy that fits the criteria set by the above scripture, and it is a boon to the church. Please look at my question-answer to RCSCROLL dated 03-24-01. Please let me know what you think. In Christ Jesus. |
