I think it’s a different Bob Jones.
Exactly, and yet there are hundreds and thousands of people who lap it up without question.
If someone tells them that God told them, that's all way too many people need to hear.
There's no discernment and accountability any more it seems.
If you get an answer, let me know.
It had better be flawless or else he's just another false prophet.
Bob Jones University
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Jones_University
The university was founded in 1927 by evangelist Bob Jones, Sr. (1883–1968).
Ping to post 25.
Google is wonderful.
“as part of a movement called the Kansas City Prophets”
Sounds like a USFL team.
You call these guys prophets?!?
Let me tell you what it was like to be a prophet back in the good old days!
Let me try that again with a better source for the information.....
Bob Jones- a Tail of a Prophet
http://letusreason.org/Latrain52.htm
Jones relates his concern about the rise of abortion and homosexuality, and a conversation he had with a devil: “He told me the next time that I prophesied and told anybody about it, he would kill me. He said, ‘If you knock that off we’ll move back into all the signs and wonders you want to. You can heal people and you can prophesy day and night if you want to, if you leave these two subjects alone” (Mike Bickle, Bob Jones, Visions and Revelations, 1988, found in Vengeance is Ours by Al Dager).
What? The devils will move Jones back into signs and wonders if he will avoid these subject matters! If this is accurate, (and there is not reason for him to say this unless it is), then the signs and wonders manifested by Jones and other prophets may not be from God at all. It is devils according to his own experience? I don’t think I’m changing his words by stating an observation- since he is still living and so many signs and wonders occur at the meetings, we are left to assume he took the deal that allowed the devils to move quite freely.
Read the article at the link in post 30.
It’s staggering.
This the guy who predicted the end of the world several times?
Not a chance; Bob Jones Senior was a fundamentalist preacher/evangelist. Once a Methodist, he became non-denominational when he saw/heard modernism in his Methodist church.
He was the Prophet Bob Jones of Profit University.
First clue: real prophets go by a single name, like, say, Jeremiah or Evangelista! Bob Jones’s a good name for a hot dog stand seller.
My friend thought to himself "Yeah right".
5 minutes later he had a life changing encounter with the angel Breakthrough.
Don't kill the messenger. I just am passing on what I was told, for what it's worth. Your mileage may vary.
Prophet??? Don’t think so.
Thanks. Beautiful campus. Great art museum. Good Christian grounding.
(I really like their Math major. Wish I could have taken it. And I’m not even Christian.)
