Do you believe there are prophets today?

I said I find it highly unlikely there are any true prophets. Yet you just made a positive claim by asserting that there are true prophets today yet you have brought forth no evidence or even an example of one. Your comment about being able to "sing" it better than me shows you surely missed the parts of the bible about humility. So whatever you are singing is probably unbiblical anyways.

Ha! Ok, I'm not humble. You win.

Hidden wasnt arguing with you at all, in fact he was totally agreeing with you. I think he is just trying to say, keep an open mind. Ask for discernment the Holy Spirit will bear witness to what is true and what is false, if you are walking with the Lord. Bible states the HS teaches you "ALL" things.

Okay so his comment about singing it better than me is exactly what? Thats what you call agreement? It shows a lack of humility that a so called christian would even say such a thing. Even if he does know more than me, he is showing a lack of wisdom by flaunting his so called knowledge above me. Without even presenting any evidence there are actual true prophets.

nope, but I do believe God can give something prophetic to someone at random.

Yeah I just don't get these people in this thread claiming that true prophets exist like in the bible, yet when pressed for even an example of one prophecy the so called hidden prophet they knew came true they can't answer it. If you really do know of a true prophet and are withholding that information from the body of christ you are doing your brothers and sisters a disservice. I have never ever heard of Prophets hiding, there were times for instance were daniel was told not to write something down or john in the book of revelation but to say in the modern day there are prophets but being unable to even provide an example of what makes you believe that does nothing to help.

Come, come, ImAllLikeOkWaitWhat. My apologies for offending you, or for coming off as arrogant. Before the eyes of our Lord Jesus Christ, I promise you I was merely trying to say I was pleased with your argument about false prophets doing great harm, and that it was one of the many things I speak against myself. Yes, I meant "I could sing it better than you" competitively, but in the sense that I thought we were on the same side. And I do stand corrected. You didn't actually say that there were NO prophets in the land. You said you thought it unlikely.

No problem with your position whatsoever. I'll take all the blame for things getting screwed up, turning it from us being on the same side to you thinking I was against what you were saying.

I can give you several examples of modern prophecies that have actually already been fulfilled, but I was kinda waiting for definite signs that you were of a mindset to receive it. I'm still not quite sure that's the case, and it takes work and energy to go research things and get quotes and stuff. So let's just leave it as an unfinished project. We'll pick things up again at a later time.

Hope this doesn't offend you. It was more my fault than yours.

Do I think modern-day prophets are possible? Yes.
Have I ever met one? No.

Most persons I have encountered who claim to be prophets, I have thought to be a wee bit daft.

I appreciate this response and no offense taken here. I believe we are on the same page here. I am of course a born again believer more than open to hearing people share their experiences with prophets and hope you do realize that I am more than ready to hear what you have to say on the subject. It's why I started this thread after all. While like I said I do doubt that prophets exist today, I am open to the idea that it is possible. So if you have more to share on the subject feel free not to hold back. I'm a big boy I can handle it. I would love nothing more than to have my doubts proven wrong but so far in my experience and from what I have seen in this world, given all the false prophets out there I have my doubts which I'm sure you can understand. But my heart is open to there being prophets out there and of course want there to be.

I know of one who has gotten many prophecies correct over the years that I've followed him. He's mostly unknown outside of the forum he posts on, but at some point in the future he's going to publish a book with all of his words of knowledge so that it can reach a wider audience.

What I can tell you now is that most of what is being prophesied that is indeed authoritative is for the future, because not a ton is happening in the immediate that is of great importance, unless you count the Trump Presidency, which was prophesied more than four years in advance by ... what's his name ... Something Taylor. I'd have to go look it up. That is of significance because of ... well, I don't want to say much there because it might start a firestorm over political views, which I REALLY don't want to get into. But because most of what is being prophesied is still for the future, you kinda have to know the Shepherd's voice in order to recognize how He speaks to know if it's truly Him or not. And by that He always speaks the same way, on a deep level, often using Biblical allusions that the superficial believer cannot comprehend.

Anyway, I'll see what I can do for you. I'm not making it up; it takes time and energy. I'll have to go through some books of things that are in print, and then see if I can't find some links to online sources that will confirm to you that it has actually taken place. So it may be a while, and as the Spirit leads me. I spend my time where and on what I feel He is leading me to, but that has led me to spend some time in this thread with you, so hopefully He'll give me the time to do some work on this. It actually could be used as a very good weapon against the enemy; having proof of fulfilled prophecies and all, though I don't know if that's the purpose God ultimately intends for it, because skeptics can explain away virtually anything; where there's a will there's a way, you know. (I said all that regarding my evaluations of to what extent it will be worth the energy and time, not that you are not worth it in and of yourself, but my energy is limited).

But a good project for hopefully days ahead, God willing.

P.S. I should also admit to getting a tad aggressive on the Hell thing. When I said I hammer the faithful over fasting and prayer, what I should add is that I need that hammering just as much if not more than anyone. I'm responsible for that teaching more than others, and I'm slowly conditioning my body now to begin living a more fasted life consistently. But that time has not come yet, and I can let the flesh get away from me with the best of them if I'm not careful right now.

Great question. Good topic, to be continued.

Blessings, and my apologies once more.

I find the very idea of there being prophets today not only unlikely but disturbing and misleading and harmful to people who believe these people are of God. The one person that I have in mind and there are many many more like this man, is Kim Clement. Just reading what he wrote here
is the most absurd thing I read yet thousands upon thousands of people really believe he was a real prophet of God. He made hundreds of prophecies and apparently one came true about trump which was some vague prophecy at the most. He also made some prophecy about eminem and stephen king which didn't come true. The stuff he spouts out of his mouth just seem to amount to nothing more than wishful thinking and false ideas that come out of his imagination.

There are countless others and too many to discuss, but if anyone here really believes there are actual prophets today please do tell.

We do not have prophets today as they did under the old covenant, today we have the gift of prophecy. These gifts are refereed to as the gifts of ministry: Eph 4 "11 And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for works of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, "

GandalfTheWise · Apr 2, 2017

It seems like there is a focus in this thread of a prophet being someone who makes accurate apocalyptic predictions regarding the fate of nations and the world. Of course someone like that would be public. However, some of the prophets and their messages in the Bible were for individuals. These were not things to be shouted publicly in the streets. Really, for most of us, what is more important? Someone accurately predicting when a war (or whatever) between whatever nations is going to occur? Or people quietly having inspired words of encouragement and wisdom for a suffering person in their times of need? The book of Acts contains instances of prophecy that were aimed at individuals and limited groups.

I would say that after the prophets of the bible, all of the proclaimed prophets after have done more to harm people than help. Thats just a simple truth. Sure some may give people hope but not without losing hundreds to thousands for a message not even from God. I have an uncle who is a self proclaimed prophet but he is nothing more than delusional at best. It was at that point that I decided this prophet(profit lol) business has gone on too long.

"many are called but few are chosen". The calling of God is a calling of Holiness and Sanctification. To be set apart to serve God. We are told that few people are willing to live the life that God calls people to live to be qualified to serve Him.

God is real and can communicate with some people. If you do not believe God exists, you may deny knowledge of the existence of prophesy. Not everyone will agree with you. Some have acknowledged being guided by God.

Paul was aware some of the gift of prophesy. In 1 Corinthians 13:9 "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part."

We don't need prophets anymore. We have the
Holy Spirit. What are prophets for? To communicate God's truth to his people. God used them especially to communicate with the Israelites post exile. What does the Holy Spirit do? Communicates the truth to us from God and guides us in our lives. We don't need prophets anymore, because we have a much better alternative, the Holy Spirit.

If I don't believe God exists? Well lets take a second to look where we are, in the christians only forum, either you are calling me an imposter or are mistaken somehow. Of course I believe God exists, My belief in his existence has absolutely nothing to do with this threads topic. I can believe in God and be skeptical of prophetical claims made by people, especially people who charge 13.99 for a book on their so called prophecies or prophetic ability. I don't see why you would even say if I don't believe god exists?..:/
