I haven’t kept track . . .

probably of those I’ve met and respect . . . and have found their ministries fruitful and reasonaly accurate . . . between 25 and 50 . . . possibly more.

Let's see, the Old Testament has, depending on who you are talking to (Jews and Christians differ on this), about 16 prophets over a four thousand year period and you believe you have met at least 25 in your lifetime? That is remarkable.

That would be prophetic TYPES . . . . some were prophets and anointed and called to the office of prophets. Some were merely gifted with the gift of prophecy.

Help me out with this "prophetic type" definition, is this prophet more like A or B below:
A. John the Baptist lived in caves, eating locusts and was very much an outcast. Then he was called to baptize people and tell them to repent.
or
B. William Miller who spent much of the 1840s "recalculating" the date of the Second Coming?

However, I doubt the buckets of rocks are refined sufficiently for the difference to mean very much to the naysayers.

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, spoke extensively about false prophets, are you not willing to address this issue?

I’ve addressed it fittingly as much as I care to bother with for the present.

I am not so stupi or ignorant

as to remotely fantasize that a bunch of rabid, mean-spirited hostile perspective flinging naysayers are going to be mollified by anything I say even if I were to memorize their last high school essay and parrot it back to them.

Some things and people like hell and the grave will never be satisfied in this life nor the next.

The Lord Jesus had a lot less words for such naysayers than I have. And His words were a LOT MORE HARSH than mine have been.

What are you talking about?? There were schools full of them.
