The Duchess:
Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
Alice:
I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.

That kind of language is not appropriate on the Religion forum.

[ArrogantBustard]

I feel quite certain that "Queen Alice" would appreciate this thread.

[Admin Moderator]

Stay off of this thrread.

[Marysecretary]

I decided to do just that.

Good try, but John the Baptist's message was CLEAR, not garbled gibberish. Also, John the Baptist DID NOT refuse to answer questions about who and what he was.

I am asking: Where are the prophets?

[roamer_1]

And from the quotes I can find, it seems John the Baptist used sentences. Whole ones. They even had meaning!

Again, I am not content to limit this conversation to your current objective. Where ARE the prophets?

[roamer_1]

Assuming facts not in evidence in this case.

Again, as I said before, I am not content to limit this to one case. Where are the prophets in the Church? Where is the evidence of the Gifts of the Spirit?

[Judith Anne]

That was awesome! Long time since I read it, and I agree, Queen Alice would appreciate this thread. It would make perfect sense.

[Mr Rogers]

What do you need a prophet for? I understand why the early church needed them, and in the sense of a proclaimer of God’s word, we need them now.

That is why I mentioned ‘1st Apostles, 2nd Prophets, 3rd Teachers’...the Apostles were undoubtedly first in the church’s need. Then prophets, since the NT wasn’t written. And then teachers...

Now, in the sense of gifts, I don’t doubt some still are given prophecies. As I’ve mentioned before, in my experience, it is usually someone known for their close walk with God who brings up concerns involving purchases, someone’s motives, etc.

But a wandering Prophet, to proclaim God? How does that differ from a Preacher? Unless, of course, he gives specific prophecies about the future - which, as I’ve said, I have seen before and they have invariably been wrong.

Where are YOUR prophets? Did Isaiah operate in secret? Did Elijah act in private? Where are YOURS?

Who do YOU believe is currently a Prophet of God, ministering to the world today?

...I am not content to limit this to one case.

Yes. It is not my intent to be contentious. You are speaking in general and I am making an observation about this particular case.
