Slade, Would you define the word “prophet” for us? Do you think it is someone who prophecies the future, necessarily?

Dave??   Paul was a Judean (Heb. Yehudi, Grk: Ioudaios, Eng. Judean though generally mistranslated Jew) therefore he was "Jewish"... even though he technically was from the tribe of Binyamin. You see, to be Judean, one could be from the tribe of Judah, Benjamin, Simeon, Levi, or from any of the other tribes that settled there throughout the split after King Shlomo/Solomon.   Moshe was, well, from the tribe of Levi. I won't argue with you there... even though nearly every Jewish commentary says the Sons of Yisrael during the Exodus (and Moshe himself) were all "Jews." It's quite silly, actually. (In fact, Avraham was the first "Jew," did ya no?)   It becomes problematic when we use "Jew" as a generic term for the "Sons of Yisrael."   -- slade   To answer your question, prophets can come from any race (Scripture has many examples) as long as they are spirit led and everything they say can be backed up with witnesses (which better include "scripture taken in context" to quote Glenn). I think we seem to have a shortage of prophets in these last days. Perhaps we need to become a bit more like Messiah so YHVH can begin to move within us. (Rev 19:10; Joel 2:28-3:8)   Most of what I hear is not from the Spirit, and is treated such. (Jer 23:32, 29:8; Eccl 5:7; especially Deut 13:1-5)     He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Ekklesia...   ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 27 March, 2003 22:49 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Post Bible Revelation DAVEH:   Wouldn't you think that God can pick a servant of his choice to be a prophet, whether he be Jewish or not?  Did not the Lord think it OK to reveal himself to Moses and Paul, both non-Jewish prophets.
