Just to clarify. The Bible contains the intricate prophecies of a number of prophets. When they conveyed their prophetic messages to the people they were always infallibly given and this was demonstrated by the event coming true.

If the event did not then the prophet was not from God and he was liable to death.

How is it that in this modern day matters are different? As the next 'chapter' in the unfolding of the divine will why would a modern prophet be fallible?

Perhaps you could throw some light on this, Mike.

Encarta Online Dictionary:prophet

1 somebody who claims to interpret or transmit the commands of a deity

2 somebody who predicts the future

3 somebody who advocates a cause or idea

4 somebody considered to be an inspired leader or teacher

I don't see the definition: "One who interprets the information conveyed by earlier prophets" here.

Hi Mike. I understand you have quite a relationship with Standfirm. He has asked, Mistakes - What of it?

One of the main 'saving' explanations he and his pal, Servant,l have is that the WTBTS has never claimed infallibility. You yourself has said that this is not the main issue, but it is the claim to authority on the Earth at this time.

Interestingly Standfirm has gone silent with my raising that their claim to fallibility is what destroys their argument.

I have asked them to furnish ONE PROPHET who was fallible. They can't deny that the WTBTS has, historically, claimed to be God's Prophet, but if they are fallible, especially in these Last Days when so much is at stake for so many people, then how can they be that prophet.

Adding a fifth definition to the dictionary (Encarta Online) just doesn't do it for me.
