No. I was just putting the question out there if we thought that everything was recorded or not. But no sir, my beliefs are what's written in the word of God.

IF he misses, it is because he is speaking words other than Gods. This disqualifies him from being trusted as a Prophet.
I have little faith in any minister that will say thus saith the Lord when it is not God speaking.

You could be right on that. So then, are there any true Prophets alive today? Or are there just ministers who have the gift of Prophecy? Based on your reply, I'd have to say there are no true Prophets alive today and the one's we esteem as Prophets are merely working in the gift of Prophecy.
