DAVEH: It is not clear to me at all. The Bible even predicts there would be prophets in the last days. And after being on TT, I thought modern day prophets were accepted in Protestantism.
who never passed away to need replacing, Jesus Christ.Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until JohnDAVEH: Now I am beginning to see why some Protestants say the law is no longer valid (or perhaps it would be better to say....in effect).In times past - the Prophets; Now he speaks by the Son
DAVEH: Through prophets, just as was Paul when he wrote this. I assume you accept Paul as a prophet, Kevin? Correct me if I am wrong.
Hebrews 1:1-2 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all thingsDAVEH: I will be curious to hear if you think Paul was a prophet.The Law & the Prophets wrote of Jesus John 1:45 Now that He has been here, He is the fulfillment of both Mt 5:17
DAVEH: ??? I don't quite see how you think Jesus' fulfillment of the law and prophets mean that neither now exist, Kevin.
Why do we need A prophet, when we have THE prophet?DAVEH: Couldn't a prophet reveal more of the Lord's secrets? Or......do you think the Lord revealed everything he wants us to know in the Bible?

DAVEH: Then it could be assumed that one need not be a prophet to receive revelation. However, would you agree that a prophet would by his nature receive revelations from the Lord? And.....such revelations would be extra Bilbical, if they were revealed to a modern day prophet. May I assume most TTers would agree with this?A prophet carries a message from God to men. It may be a warning, a curse, a verdict, almost anything. We ran out of prophets in the stricktest sense of the word a looong time ago. Staying with the strictest sense of the word, it has been even longer since an ass spoke for God. It is my opinion that the Holy Spirit now has a monopoly on revelation outside of the Holy Bible.
