And that would mean 100% true, 100% of the time. We are talking about genuine prophecy, not educated guesses.
I can say with near certainty that sometime in the next two years, somewhere in the world there will be a devastating natural disaster that will kill at least 10,000 people and do at least $1 billion in damages. This disaster could be a hurricane, a flood, a tsunami, an earthquake or landslide. Could I proclaim myself a "prophet" when this happens? Of course not, these events have been occurring on a regular basis throughout recorded history.
As I mentioned yesterday, Christ's warnings against false prophets lead me to conclude that He knew we would have to deal with them and we needed to be aware how dangerous they are. Many people want to ignore the fact that they are wolves dressed as sheep, they are going to APPEAR legitimate.
Does anyone actually believe that if God sent a prophet the prophets main form of communication would be a poorly-written blog that had to be linked to a conservative political forum in order to generate any degree of visibility?
Does anyone believe that if God sent a prophet, he would be living in the wilderness, dressed in skins and eating locusts? One can almost hear the Pharisees..
Again, it is not my purpose to defend the current recipient of your ridicule, but the generic condition of the Gifts of the Spirit in the Church at large...
