Now there's an answer that makes some sense, though I'm glad you put prophet in quotes because I wouldn't call Martin Luther or Calvin prophets. Nor do the churches they created look back to their teachings as the definitive word on how to interpret scripture.

Indeed. They are men like the rest. God gave them great revelations into his word, but those who follow them have changed and augumented to fill answers to questions they did not orginally answer. turning a good teachers work into the 'holy words of a prophet.'

Before we get too cozy here. I meant that they are not prophets AND their followers do not treat them as such. Lutherans have reached different conclusions about what the Bible means. So have other sects. The point being that the Bible is hardly an easily interpreted or even all that coherent a set of documents.
