Subject: Are there any true prophets/prophetss' t |
Bible Note: Shabbat Shalom Chuck, I'm well aware there are false prophets around, have sat under a few of them before many years ago :-). What I'm wondering, along with some others, is just because we now have the Book in printed form, does that in itself negate the need for prophets? Were there not prophets at the time when the Tanakh was available? Would you not say that someone like Billy Graham stood in the office of Prophet for he was sent to those needing salvation, he spoke forth the words of God to those who had not known? I know we think of him particularly as an evangelist but many of those 5 ministries overlap each other don't they? Cheri |
