The Difference Between Prophecy and Prophesy

[Sam]

I can't remember but it was something like

i before e except after c
or when sounded like a as in neighbor or weigh


or

i before e except after c or when followed by g

Prophesy (prah-feh-si)-this word has a s in it. The ending is pronounced 'sigh'.

These two words are the most commonly misapplied words and it drives me crazy. Now that I've cleared it up for you, I feel better.

Learn this, and carry on!

You are so anal!

Least I think that was it.......first grade was a long time ago.

Ancient is another exception to the rule.

or when sounded like a
as in neighbor or weigh

Yeah, with that extra "s" on the end.
It's only one revelation, and it's the revelation of Jesus Christ.

How about Lazareth for Lazarus?
or Jesus of Nazarus?

I belong to FGBMFI (Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International).
We have a monthly breakfast meeting, a monthly dinner meeting and a monthly prayer meeting. As you can pretty well figure, the prayer meeting crowd is not very large, about 4 to 8 guys. One of the guys who used to come was named Dave. He was blind and not too great in the personal hygiene dept. He went to be with the Lord a few years ago. Any way, Dave would pray and, as folks often do, he had some phrases he used pretty often. One was about God's shemima glory. He meant shekinah glory but he would ask God to pour out His shemima glory. As we sat around that table, all serious and praying, and being spiritual, every time he would say shemima glory I would think about Aunt Jemima pancake mix or syrup and have to stifle a chuckle.
