Why do you bring me into it, I'm just asking a question, for which you don't have an answer, right?
You've not really asked a question.
What would you define as a prophet?
Once you have done that you will have defined the conditions for being one, and the acts or events that might 'convince'.
I've a got a sinking feeling that you are going to conclude this thread with your shit about Cincinnati and Rome.

Yes I did:
They would have to deny they were one, at everyones insistence that they were.
The person doesn't have to say shit, moron. So what's your stupid fucking answer to the question?

I'm curious: Do you think there are only a select few prophetic people? What about all the false or wanna-be or mistaken prophets who don't understand the influence of their own mind and ego better than anyone else does?
This could be an interesting topic if we really dig into it.

the question is what it would take to convince you that somebody is a prophet.
Oh, I see -- we're not asking any other related questions. And I've already answered the topic question. So, it sounds like there's a specific, limited agenda since we're not considering or exploring beyond that.
You said the person would have to say something genuine and insightful? Jesus Christ, millions of people could meet that so-called standard.

Stick to the subject, idiot. Either answer the question asked in the thread or shut the fuck up!

Dick cheese, you asked for mine not yours. Don't you dare put words in my mouth, boy! Who are you to judge it, shit for brains?
That's my answer and it's final.
You can argue against it if you care to, and have the wit, though I seriously doubt you're capable.

Right. Which is how I think it more likely is. And which is why I asked you if "you think there are only a select few prophetic people?" That doesn't make sense to me... but maybe such an idea makes sense to you.

I never mentioned myself, pal, I just asked for a generalized opinion, but none of you bastards have the balls to give me one.

Prophecy in this context is a divinely inspired utterance. It has nothing to do with predictions or miracles.

I didn't say or think you did. I simply asked you a question about your own viewpoint. Is that not allowed?

Why are you so angry? Did you not see this discussion going this way? What do you expect from people who (probably) don't put much stock in prophets? Is there no value in their answers to your question? What do you want to hear people say?
