I have a question: what purpose would a modern prophet have?
You mean for a mortal man to have certain gifts above the average mortal man to prove Jesus is the real deal and heal others and perform miracles because apparently God can't do any of this on his own without going through men?
Not to mention a prophet would possibly be looked at as a type of authority in the church and the ONLY AUTHORITY is God. Not man.
I mean I can seriously see the need for Prophets and other supernatural occurances in this day and age.
It would make the Christian living MUCH easier if we has miracles, and signs.After all, Christianity is all about an earthly comfort.
We NEED these signs! Why? To make us feel better! The bible just isn't enough so God continues on with modern day prophets because man still doesnt have enough faith................. :/
