Bible Question: Good evening... I have been studying about the Prophets thats in the new testament and of to day. I under stand that there are a few true profhets in the land to day. But as of yet no one can give me the name of any that they would say "Can read your mail" I know in the old testament they were used a lot. Would it be in order to seek out one and to be able to get and answer for God? Thanks for your help. |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Deu 13:1-5; Jer 23:16-27; 1 Cor 12:7-11, 13:9-10; 1Th 5:19-21; 1Jo 4:1-3 ... Blazer, greetings Some believe there are no porphets today ... I do not know (1 Cor 13:9-10). There is a difference between the gifts, including discernment and prophecy (1 Cor 12:7-11). When some one comes and says they have a word form the Lord, I stop them and ask if they are willing to be subject to the penalties in the Bible if they are not 100 PERCENT CORRECT. If they are wrong (even on 1 point in a million)they wee should NEVER listen to them. While the person said they weren't under the OT Law (Deu 13:1-5) ... I did day they were to never speak again about "what the Lord told them" ... when they did, I pubically condemned them ... they left in tears. God is serious and so am I. Tell the totla truth or keep silent. Searcher |
