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:
In religion, a prophet is an individual who is claimed to have been contacted by the supernatural or the divine, and serves as an intermediary with humanity, delivering this newfound knowledge from the supernatural entity to other people. The message that the prophet conveys is called a prophecy.
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.
