    This may be true, but the time of Prophecy is over. Those who prophesy now are not of God. They are taking advantage of people who are lost and trying to find their way home. Remember, ye shall know them by their fruits. If ANY of their prophecies are wrong, they are not a prophet of God. The Bible has at least taught us this much.

    "For they have so ...[text shortened]... Hosea 8:7, KJV

    The time of Prophecy is over. The time of Reaping the Whirlwind has begun.
    So are you saying that Nostradamus was a real prophet?

    Of course not. He's part of the current crop of "prophets". Many of his prophecies are wrong.

    Or at the very least, so written as to ascertain almost any meaning to them. (Which means they have no meaning.)

    When did the time of Prophecy ends? Does the bible say anything about the date?

    The trouble with "prophesy" is that in the Bible a lot of what is talked about as "prophesy" is actually visions; Revelation is an obvious example and also much of Daniel. The purpose of prophesy is to provide God's people with inspired direction and to demonstrate that that direction is in fact divinely inspired; it needs to be simple and easy to measure.

    Those prophets making predictions in the name of the LORD which do not come to pass are false prophets - such as the timeline of various leaders and spokespersons for Jehovah’s Witness organisation. This doesn't make than necessarily bad people - just not Gods' prophets.

    If someone call himself God's prophet, then he is obviously not just that. Doesn't it make him one of the bad people?

    Same goes for a denomination: If someone in a denomination calls himself a God's prophet, and he is backed by the members of his denomination, doesn't it make the whole denomination and its members bad people?

    Which cannot be applied to any Biblical prophesy.

    Maybe, Biblical prophecies are not meant for the simple minded. 😏

    Maybe it means, they have gullible, simple minded members, like the JWs.

    If, in my posting, I change the words "gods prophet" to "superior being", would that change your answer?

    I am posing the same question to you, dear robbie. I repeat the question so it will be clearer:

    If someone call himself a superior being, then he is obviously not just that. Doesn't it make him one of the bad people?

    Same goes for a denomination: If someone in a denomination calls himself a superior being, and he is backed by the members of his denomination, doesn't it make the whole denomination and its members bad people?

    I am a true disciple of the Christ not a Neoplatonic meta-physicist like you! Anyhow, wish you all the best!

    I am sorry Fabian the question is not a little vague for there are no details whatsoever,
    if i say i am a chess genius and i really am a chess genius and i prove it by beating all
    other players, is that arrogance, well perhaps, but it might also be true.
