Ahhh. well you did not originally ask who I think are “living” prophets. But I still answered that. Those who give prophesies which are not in contradiction to the Bible... that holds true for all prophets, living or dead. As for “Living” prophets, walking the Earth now... who says there ARE any?
Who says there are any? The bible does.
Ephesians 4:
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Why does Paul tell us that we need prophets and apostles in order to come into the unity of the faith and not be tossed about by every wind of doctrine? (30 thousand plus different Christian denominations) Jesus had been ressurected and ascended long before he wrote to the Ephesians. Why would he say this?
And why does the Book of Revelations mention prophets so much. John wrote about the last days, that is our day. Why are prophets mentioned there if there aren't supposed to be any?
