The role of a "prophet" in Hebrew society was not to tell the future.

Divination, sooth-saying and reading omens were forbidden.
Maybe you better actually take a class on the Babble.
It isn't Divination sootsaying, reading omens, magic, sorcery, voodoo, necromancy,
A prophet is not a prophet based on his ability to tell what will come yet many did indeed have that ability.
And Mary isn't a Deity either. Maybe read my posts before speaking such things.
It's not "sootsaything". It's soothsaying. No one said Mary was a "deity". You didn't even read the links. You claimed she was a "virgin". The word was mistranslated, (as any scholar knows). Prophecy as "fortune-telling" came in late, (during the apocalyptic period). Maybe you better take that class. The role of a prophet was never to tell the future.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
