”Do you agree with this defination of what this pastor is doing is “prophecy”?”

Absolutely not. While I certainly hope that what he claims will happen with respect to Trump ends up occurring, he is in no way a prophet. Nor is anyone else in this present age. There are no present-day apostles, either. We have the canon of scripture for a reason. Today, THAT is how God speaks to us. While He certainly guides our steps, if we let him, He is not presently giving direct revelation to anyone. That is what scripture is for.

I think of the Bible as being similar to the Constitution: Both were intended to lock down in writing certain concepts, precepts, and guidance, so that the fundamental questions of life were not subject to the whims of any individual person. Without total reliance on the Bible as God’s revelation to us, then anyone running around claiming to possess direct revelation must be simply accepted at face value, even when that person’s “prophecy” conflicts with that of another “prophet” (which happens all the time). If all it takes for revelation from God to exist is someone claiming to possess it, then we would have utter chaos in the church, limited only by the imaginations of those who fancy themselves “prophets.” That’s pretty much where we are today, sadly.

We need a lot more John MacArthurs, and a lot less Steven Furticks, Beth Whites, etc.

Do you agree with what this MORMON said about Catholics and Protestants??


"Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent"

Did Joseph Smith make a FALSE prophecy or not here?


Doctrine and Covenants

Section 114 http://lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/114?lang=eng

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Far West, Missouri, 17 April 1838 (see History of the Church, 3:23).
 
Church positions held by those who are not faithful will be given to others.


1. Verily thus saith the Lord: It is wisdom in my servant David W. Patten, that he settle up all his business as soon as he possibly can, and make a disposition of his merchandise, that he may perform a mission unto me next spring, in company with others, even twelve including himself, to testify of my name and bear glad tidings unto all the world.

2. For verily thus saith the Lord, that inasmuch as there are those among you who deny my name, others shall be planted in their stead and receive their bishopric.

Amen.

 
 
Sorry to inform the 'faithful'; but Dave died on October 25, 1838
