@moonbus saidNot another prophet, a prophet would say, "thus says the Lord," Jesus said, "but I say to you." I believe they are still waiting, not all of them because some have found Christ.

"What they didn't get was in the Old Testament when (God said) the Word of God was going to become a man.
Yes? and ? A man, meaning another prophet. For all I know, the Jews are still waiting for this to happen.
-Removed-Jesus said you will know them [prophets] by their fruits, so unless you think that means apples, grapes and oranges, then it must mean the other things Jesus spoke of and that can only be good works and righteousness. This is demonstrated in the teachings of Jesus all over the Gospels and culminating in Matt 25 judgment day scenario where only those who did those good works get eternal life in the Kingdom of God.
I think you are confusing what Paul refers to as the fruit of the Spirit'. That is not the same as what Jesus refers to as 'knowing them by their fruits'

@kellyjay saidBeware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: (Matthew 7:15-24 KJV)
Where did Jesus say that about prophets?
False prophets produce evil fruit, so they are are cast out and burned
Neither do people who call Lord Lord, they are also cast out
Those who keep these sayings of Christ, and doeth them, are wise.
@kellyjay saidThat is how fools who do not know the bible answers questions. You asked where did Jesus say that about prophets and I provided a reference. If I were a fool like you I would have said .. try reading the book of Matthew, but Im not so I provided the reference.
Try reading the book of Hebrews.
@rajk999 saidNice, you said something with scripture and backed it up properly; well done.
