DAVIDM There are many different types of prophets, both in OT and NT times. The prophets Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and John the Baptist all functioned differently. David ministered prophetically primarily through song. Ezekiel through pantomine. Moses through leadership and mighty miracles. John the Baptist without either miracle or many great prophetic statements concerning the future (other than the all important one concerning the appearance of Messiah in his generation). SLADE You claim these prophets all functioned differently. Why? I see their function as identical! You have spoken of Ezekiel's "pantomime" and David's shirim. You see different function here while I understand this as different modes/genres by which they prophesied. Their function -- the intent of the prophesy -- is identical. THIS is the function you contradicted in your email that prompted my response. (You will notice I have not elucidated the function; this is an innate understanding in the prophet and I would like to hear your take on this singular function of the prophet.) However, there is a grace I can give since you are not a prophet [from my limited understanding] and I do not wish to embarrass you or anyone else. You see, we all have Yeshua dwelling within us, and Yeshua IS the spirit of prophesy. This prophetic nuance of the Spirit of the Holy One can often confuse a believer into thinking they are a prophet... when in fact, they're feeling just what everyone else experiences... a nonverbal response to this prophetic "nuance." -- slade ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
