Any One Know What This Scripture Means
Judging from some of the remarks made on other threads, condemning me as though I attacked an individual, which I did not, neither did I call a name, it would appear that they are so scripturally illerate as to NOT understand it. Here is the scripture:
1Cr 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
Does anyone know what THIS scritpture mean:?
1Cr 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
1Cr 14:33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Apparantly some are so spiritually illerate as to not understand these two verses either, judging only from past remarks. It is disheartening to learn that some of those remarks came from one who claims to be a pastor and has been in the ministry for more than three decades, if I rightly recall. It makes one to grieve over the church that he pastors.

Some would do well to recognize that judging the prophecy isn't the same as judging the prophet.

Exactly right. Two different matters entirely. It is a point that some obviously cannot delienate.

I can't see how the two can be separated. If a prophet is speaking words from his own mind and God is NOT putting the words in his mouth, wouldn't that make him a false prophet?

Please exlpain.......Have you never been off target in something you spoke and thought was prophetic?
I am sure all who have waded out into the waters of prophetic gifts have swung and missed. Folks do grow in the gifts and no one is perfect in prophecy.

The first sentence is correct. I would not always agree with the last sentence. Novices need to be mentored who, easily step between the soulish realm and the spirit realm without recognizing the difference. The soulish realm will very often fail. The divine realm never does. It takes a mentor to teach a God called Prophet the difference and how to stay within the confines of the divine realm. This margin of experience is developed by both love and zeal...but zeal according to knowledge.

Then why get upset about this if the prophet's hit and miss like the weatherman. This is GUESSING not Biblical prophecy.

Then all "messages from God" ... including a sermon should be judged by the same measure ....

No way, Mizpeh ... would this apply to a preacher who isn't prayed up, also ... or not Spirit-led in one of his sermons.
