If you follow our threads back, you will see that it originated with Jimmy Swaggart. I said no Christian that I know ever called any man the Prophet of God, that spoke for God in all things.

In other words. Christians, while acknowledging that men do indeed prophesy, understand that God speaks to all who are born anew in Christ Jesus through the Holy Sprit.

We have the Holy Spirit, we don’t need no one true Prophet of God. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit trumps a Prophet any old day. Just like the New Testament tell us in Hebrews.

Hbr 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Or in the easier to understan NIV....

1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

I don't see any mention of the Holy Spirit or that He trumps a Prophet of God in either of those verses you quoted. It speaks of the verity that God spoke personally to prophets before Christ and in the days of the Apostles, the Lord was with them. The Holy Spirit does not "trump" the Prophet of the Lord, but affirms him.
