Incidentally, the one prophet whose accuracy you recognize fully endorsed the Old Testament writings, which include the standard for true prophets vs. false ones. Furthermore, he warned of false ones to come. You, however, have just dismissed all the means of determining truth from lies by giving anyone claiming knowledge all the excuses they need to be wrong. When you are ready to place more importance on what IS true than what you WANT to be true or think SHOULD be true, you'll be making progress. Until then, you're making god in your own image.

You're a big fan of the Old Testament, I see. I respect that. But I don't consider modern day psychics to be prophets. They are not claiming to be passing along the word of God. They are not penning their own books to the Bible (surely there are nut-cases who are, but I'm not referencing them in general here). They are sharing what their gifts give them.

You and I will not come to complete agreement. Each person who reads the Bible with gain from it what they need... it's a living work. Divinely inspired to reach everyone who reads it and to give that person what they need. We can not interpret it definitively without speaking with those who's experiences it based on or God himself. I'm glad you find strength and resolve in your readings. I'm glad I have found the humility to know that all of God's words can't fit in a small book, He is infinite, and He may have done/will do many things far beyond what we know or believe.

To each, our own. Good luck to you William.
