a prophecy class?
what's that?
good so far.
what's that got to do with people claiming to be 'a spokesman for God'
today?
(why so many people dare to claim they are mediators for God today is beyond me).
could you refer me to any modern anointed spokesmen for God by name please?
i would like to look at their words.
thank you.
and?
what are you trying to make Mr. Easton say?
re-read it.
nothing you posted thus far supports continuation of those offices.
nothing.
okay.
is this the part where we begin to play loose with the word prophet?
the shell game....
yes. of course
a "gift" is "abused" to the point of being ridiculous, but
that is not evidence that the "gift" being "abused" is fake.
no, i'm sorry....if you can offer any (ANY) prophecies from people you consider anointed spokesmen for God (in the very same way the Biblical prophets and apostles were - otherwise you have
a new breed)
alright.
personal direction from the Spirit for the believer? great! AMEN. we all experience that.
this does not in any way shape or form make anyone a called and inspired prophet equal in authority to those who received and complied our scriptures.
this logic is dangerous and deceitful.
right.
but you still have to show that
what goes on today and is called "prophecy" is what Paul was describing.
you can't, and it is not.
AMEN.
and now we have our scriptures, which are just as inspired, and we have the Spirit Who is the same Spirit.
so why do we keep overthrowing the foundation already laid?
this is very serious business, and it is strange fire.
is that the best you can do?
offer up the most authentic prophecies uttered today please. let me see them.
yes. the shell game.
no, according to
one form of the word.
we love and need our preachers.
they are fallible men who preach from the infallible Word (revealed infallibly to fallible but
inspired and authoritative men and recorded forever for us)
please offer up one single man today who you believe is as authoritative as Paul or any of the prophets in the NT.
i need to see their writing.
you should be careful with your loose handling of the term and office of prophet.
is this what you would recommend for someone today who thinks they're hearing new revelation from God?:
"
What is the School of the Prophets?
The School of the Prophets is a ministerial school of development for those who are called to any aspect of prophetic ministry, and especially targets those who are called to or desire a deeper understanding of the prophetic office.
Through the delineation of the prophetic component found throughout scripture, the validity of the prophetic ministry for today is clearly determined to dispel the inordinate degree of unbelief, skepticism and prejudice which permeates the Body of Christ.
There are four levels of PROPHETIC MINISTRY that are widely used and excepted throughout Apostolic and Prophetic Ministries today."
School of Prophecy
anyone getting involved in this stuff is headed for certain apostasy. these groups will tell us that anything less than a 100% accuracy rate is normal today.
they play dialectical games with words and passages.
God is not calling prophets today.
Acts 2 is OVER. Done.
Finished. we now read about the MIRACLE.
the gap deception which places Pentecost in our day, or drums up some kind of renewal is deception from hell.
this is so easy to refute. yet people refuse to face it.
too far into it, too much repenting to do when they have to admit they've been deceived and or deceiving.
anyone claiming new revelation is adding to scripture and comes under the Rev 22 curse.
and yet it is so alluring to so many.
what's that got to do with today?
does your Bible end like mine?. when was the last time you read what it says?
the answer to this issue is here:
Revelation 22
Jesus Is Coming
6And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”
7“And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servantd with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
10And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
12“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14Blessed are those who wash their robes,e so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
17The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.f Amen.
