What Is the Role of the Prophet?

[Willamena]

To be quickly misunderstood by almost everyone following him, and to have that misunderstanding pointed out by the next prophet, who'll be misunderstood by almost everyone following him . . .

You forgot about the guy before. He was misunderstood because he contradicted almost everything the guy before him said.

He's not talkign about the priesthood covenant, he's talkign aboutthe covenant with moses about his people because they had broken the first covenant, so he made a new one with them. read v9

See? It's a matter of interpretation, because of the hermeneutical problem.

What is the role of the prophet in religion?

To weave a new, interesting thread in the tapestry of existence.

Except the prophets themselves all know that all the prophets are saying the same thing. They don't contradict each other. The followers only think they do because they don't know how to listen.

You've resorted to taking blind cheap shots.

:biglaugh:

Psssst...Your hubris is showing!

 

[madhatter85]

It's only Hubris if you can't back it up :/

Back it up.
:Taps foot impatiently:
Go on; back it up.
:sighs, looks at watch: Well? I'm waiting...

[Lazarus]

the role of the prophet is to destroy wisdom confound the wise and to not become divided by any thought.

 

[Don Penguinoini]

I've never liked prophets. It means that there is one idea only, don't follow it and you are not part of that faith. The positive it can rally all of that faith into one.
