I HAVE NO INTEREST IN DEBATING WHETHER GOD SPEAKS THIS WAY IN OUR ERA OR NOT.

Then you shouldn't post on FR, because anything posted here is fair game for refutation. But OK, I won't attempt to debate, just state my opinion.

Personally, I believe anyone who is "prophesying" in this day and time is either an ignoramus concerning the bible, or is decieved, or is a deciever himself, and I don't give any credibility to the "prophecies" of either one. If you are into this sort of thing, just tune around the short-wave bands late at night and you can find several self-proclaimed "prophets" prophesying almost anything that suits your fancy. I believe this supermarket tabloid-style sensationalism brings unnecessary ridicule by unbelievers upon Christians and upon Christ's church, just as I believe snake-handlers and slick, oily faith healers do. I don't mind being ridiculed for my faith in Jesus Christ, but otoh, I don't feel a need to be ridiculed because of non-scriptural showboating either.

In the 18th chapter of Deuteronomy God said that the test of a true prophet is whether or not the prophet's prophecies are 100% accurate. I don't believe Mr. Clements, or any other present-day "prophet" passes that test. If you know of any proof to the contrary, please post it ASAP as I would like very much to hear about it. I believe, as do most other evangelical Christians, that the day of prophets and prophecies ended with the revelation that Jesus gave to John on the isle of Patmos. In I Co. 13:8 Paul wrote that prophecies would cease, and I believe that occurred at the end of the 1st century AD with the book of the Revelation. If the end-time prophecies that anyone can read in the bible aren't specific enough to satisfy a person's curiosity, that person has more curiosity than God is willing to indulge, IMHO.

But understand, I'm not debating, just giving MHO.
