Talk:Prophets of Christianity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page was created to give a comprehensive list of all the prophetic figures in the Bible. No such list exists as a whole on Wikipedia; although categories such as Nevi'im, Prophets of the Hebrew Bible and Christian prophets (all the members of which predate Christianity) provide some reference information, there is no treatement of the Christian Scriptures as a whole in this manner, particularly in regard to the New Testament figures. ◄Zahakiel► 06:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christianity does NOT have prophets

There are no prophets in the Christian faith, they exist only in the Old Testement, the alleged cannonical New Testement prophets are not prophets at all. The page is very misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.253.205.115 (talk) 13:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I think you will find your statement contradicted by the list itself, which gives referenced examples from the New Testament books. This N.T. passage alone is enough to demonstrate the error of the contention: "And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch." (Acts 11:27) You're not going to find a translation or commonly-held interpretation anywhere that denies what this verse says. If your problem is with the validity of the New Testament record, that is a matter for discussion on another page. ◄Zahakiel► 14:15, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
