The bible tells you to test prophets
King James BibleBeloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Deuteronomy 18:21-22: "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him." Mark 9:1King James Version 1. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. or Matthew 16:28, or Luke 9:27he says basically the same thing He fails the test: All of the people he was talking too are dead and no kingdom of god in sight.

quote:I would argue that Jesus didn't claim to be speaking in the name of Yhvh. He didn't say these words were from Yhvh. Mark 9:1 And he said unto them Verily I say unto you That there be some of them that stand here which shall not taste of death till __ they have seen the kingdom of God come with power The prophets of the OT were very clear when they were presenting a message from Yhvh.
Jeremiah 38:17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah Thus saith the LORD the God of hosts the God of Israel If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes then thy soul shall live and this city shall not be burned with fire and thou shalt live and thine house Show me that the author of Mark, Matthew, or Luke presented Jesus as speaking those words for God.

This might be a stupid question, but did Jesus ever consider himself a "prophet"?

Well then that settles the matter then he did not speak for god so he is not the son of god. Or are you implying that in this instance he was not speaking for GOD but just throwing out lies to see if anyone would catch them. Like on his off time he was a liar but when god relay spoke to him then he would utter the word The LORD said.....

Well if one takes in to account everything the bible says about him he would have had to consider himself a prophet, miracle worker, son of god or something of the like.

That does not of course preclude Him being Messiah or from the idea that through Him God was re-visiting His people. Just so we're talking about the same thing by the way, this is from wiki.

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. For the Mark 9:1 quote, I think a reasonable interpretation is that Jesus was referring to the Transfiguration described in 9:2-7. In other words, Peter, John, and James got a sneak peek while they were still alive. For more than the sneak peak, including the other predictions, no time frame is given. A similar argument can be made for Matthew 16:28 and possibly even Luke 9:27. I think only those who are spoiling for a fight would have much of a problem with these verses. IMO, Matthew 24:27-34 is a much more problematic scripture.

From all that I've read I would say absolutely. Did he ever explicitly refer to himself as a prophet? I'm thinking no.
That does not of course preclude Him being Messiah or from the idea that through Him God was re-visiting His people. Yeah, but I'm thinking that if he really was god, then it makes sense that he wasn't really a prophet. Ya know what I mean? Point getting to, the Duet test doesn't really apply...
quote: I think that it is often assumed that a prophecy predicts the future but that seems to me to be seldom the case. No doubt, Jesus would fit that definition and other people should definately consider him a prophet, but I'm wondering if a case could be made that he was really a prophet and if he didn't ever actually consider himself one.

There is this from Matthew 13 with parallel stories in th eother gospels.
quote: He never corrected anyone when they referred to Him as a prophet. Everybody is entitled to my opinion.

Why dint he just say when we get on top of that moutin il give you a sneak preview of whats going to happen a gazillion years after i die. Does not seem any more cryptic than any other Bible prophecy.

Well then that settles the matter then he did not speak for god so he is not the son of god. That doesn't follow. Many sons do not speak for their fathers; that doesn't terminate their familial ties.
Or are you implying that in this instance he was not speaking for GOD but just throwing out lies to see if anyone would catch them. I don't think there is any lying involved. Even if Jesus actually said these things, he wasn't lying; he was just wrong. There's a difference.
Like on his off time he was a liar but when god relay spoke to him then he would utter the word The LORD said..... Again, why are you assuming there is lying involved? Can't someone simply be wrong without being a liar? Jon Love your enemies!

I don't think Harold Camping was lying about the world ending last month. But he was still a false prophet as defined in Deuteronomy, because his prediction was bogus.
