Then you shouldn't post on FR, because anything posted here is fair game for refutation. But OK, I won't attempt to debate, just state my opinion.
Personally, I believe anyone who is "prophesying" in this day and time is either an ignoramus concerning the bible, or is decieved, or is a deciever himself, and I don't give any credibility to the "prophecies" of either one. If you are into this sort of thing, just tune around the short-wave bands late at night and you can find several self-proclaimed "prophets" prophesying almost anything that suits your fancy. I believe this supermarket tabloid-style sensationalism brings unnecessary ridicule by unbelievers upon Christians and upon Christ's church, just as I believe snake-handlers and slick, oily faith healers do. I don't mind being ridiculed for my faith in Jesus Christ, but otoh, I don't feel a need to be ridiculed because of non-scriptural showboating either.
In the 18th chapter of Deuteronomy God said that the test of a true prophet is whether or not the prophet's prophecies are 100% accurate. I don't believe Mr. Clements, or any other present-day "prophet" passes that test. If you know of any proof to the contrary, please post it ASAP as I would like very much to hear about it. I believe, as do most other evangelical Christians, that the day of prophets and prophecies ended with the revelation that Jesus gave to John on the isle of Patmos. In I Co. 13:8 Paul wrote that prophecies would cease, and I believe that occurred at the end of the 1st century AD with the book of the Revelation. If the end-time prophecies that anyone can read in the bible aren't specific enough to satisfy a person's curiosity, that person has more curiosity than God is willing to indulge, IMHO.
But understand, I'm not debating, just giving MHO.
I understand your trepidation here, but how then do you interpret Acts 2:17-21. Also there WILL be two prophets of God during the tribulation. Revelation is clear on that. I understand it also to mean that God's prophets are 100% correct. But how will we know if we refuse to listen?
hostility prone brickbats is nothing I'm interested in.
I understand your feelings and perspective.
I do believe that the OT prophets had a learning curve AND that they were not always 100% accurate but I'll leave that for you to search out as I don't have it handy and have school work to get to shortly.
I also believe that God will make His prophetic voices purer and purer in our era--that essentially--the dark will get darker and the light lighter.
HE is the one that said in His Scripture that He would not do anything without telling His prophets first.
