Thanks! Was that so hard, everyone else?

OK, next question:

Can you always tell when someone gives a true message from God or a fake?

(Note that some fakes, I'm quite sure, are "innocent" fakes. By that I mean the message giver honestly felt that it was a genuine message from God for you, but was mistaken. And, of course, other fakes may be entirely made up and the deliverers of those messages knew it. Not sure that matters, though. The real thing is real, and fakes are fake.)

Re: Skepticism of "Prophets"

I know a couple who were prophesied over to be married. Out of obedience, they started dating and were married about 8 months after the prophecy. Two years after they tied the knot, they're divorced.

Technically speaking, the prophecy was that they would be married. The prophecy did not say they would not get divorced...thus it came to pass.

Re: Skepticism of "Prophets"

Indeed.

I thought some folks were crazy at the time.

Still do.

Wonder what they truly think about the situation. One half of the couple is no longer "in church," while the other half is still.

Lots of regret and doubt, I'm sure.

begins with the improper premise that someone else might give one a genuine message from God; an obvious--to me, anyway--fail, that leads to 'profits' telling people they should get married. Blasphemous yack. The torn veil should explain this; or there are plenty of other verses that do. If you believe that someone else can give you a message from God, then you better be telling your sins to a priest.

Ok, now, in order for there to be a prophet, there must be a Canon to record the prophecy in. Any objections so far?

not to defend the guy, but 'tilted womb' might be a great analog for 'hysterectomy?'
