I also exhibit the gift of prophecy

Whatever...

My statement stands.

Other Christian organizations have recognized this gift in me and I have diligently studied Scripture in order to prepare myself to give that ready answer that Peter speaks of

Well, true p[r]ophets and apostles did not have to study anything.

Says who?

Daniel 9:2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.

Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. The Bible was around in those days. The Old Testament Scriptures were readily available and the New Testament Scriptures were widely circulating

The Old Testament was in the synagogues. Not everyone can read in a synagogue. The New Testament was not completed for about 60 years after Christ died on the Cross. The individual books were in individual scrolls, precious manuscripts, safeguarded by the Church.

There were some 200 different documents pretending to be "Gospels" and "Epistles," of which the Church selected only 23, confident that they were genuine. It took the Church 300 years to do that. This is the same Church whose hierarchy you accused of error, yet you have no problem believeing the Christain canon they put together.

Do women preach in your church?

1Cr 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

1Cr 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

1Cr 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

1Cr 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

My statement stands

Only in your mind. Prove it! Reference those organizations which follow you as a prophet. Let's see. For someone who is a prophet of God you sure have a lot of time on your hands to spend on FR rather than devoting it all to God and His word.

And with all your education you are either not working or your are surfing FR while at work. (before you say something abut me, I am happily retired after 21 years of military service; I have no bills and all the time in the world).

I do! Was +Paul a Christian before he was "struck?" What made him an inerrant apostle of God was not his education and bible reading, Blogger.

His instant conversion from a persecutor and ignroant person when it came to Christ to an inerrant teacher of Christ's message is what earned +Paul the suspcion of Gnosticism (along with his very Gnostic choice of words), becuase it was an infusion of gnosis, but apparently it took that kind of a person to save the dying Church in Israel, by speading the faith to all nations.
