This renders your argument, that the only way to know god is through his chosen prophets, useless.

Not commenting on your particular brand of bullshit (I recall using the word horseshit, minor detail) might be misconstrued as tacit approval of the same.
I never said you can't know only that we need to be really carefull and that even the Bible warns us how tricky the issue will become the closer we come to the end.
As far as Not commenting being tacit approval ; don't bother I will take it as default now that when you don't comment on any of the threads started by me that that is to be seen as your belief thats its all HORSESHIT if thats the only comment you want to make.

It's quite simple. Any dickhead who claims to be genuinely god-powered is a fucking liar and anyone who listens to him is a fucking moron.
See?
leaving GOD out of question ; do you believe anyone can have the ability access knowledge through a supernatural means?

Isn't it by the size of the church building? Especially if service is broadcast on TV on Sunday morning, and it has an awesome music ministry! (Check out that organ)

CAN I PREFACE THIS THAT SHOULD WE BELIEVE SO AS TO LIMIT POINTLESS WELL MANNERED PROTESTS WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE AS THAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF THE THREAD. ( ps not directed at you Fallen. )
Interesting and clearly for musicians the inspiration for the prophesies may have come via the language and channels suiting them. But other prophets clearly deal more with imagery such as John the apostle and Daniel. This does not mean that every musician is a prophet but as for me I find music can move me in a very powerful way so that God should use that as a channel for some is no surprise.
