{"quotes":[{"text":"For wordsmiths and masters of words, without necessarily being harsh with words, the words have a tendency to shoot straight to the hearts of people, and this either deeply touches them or deeply angers them. Like the apostles in all their loving controversies are those who are masters of words while combining this gift with truth.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["anger","controversy","evangelism","heart","philosophy","prophet","rejection","theology","truth","word"],"id":2919,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"The prophet is the eye of the people.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["christian","people","prophet","seeing","spiritual"],"id":5565,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"All Prophets were leaders.","author":"should all leaders be Prophets?","tags":["leader","prophet"],"id":17130,"author_id":"should+all+leaders+be+Prophets%3F"},{"text":"It's kind of spooky when you are caught talking to God everybody thinks you're nuts.

For God is gracious, and ready to turn away his wrath from those who turn away from their sins. But the prophet who prophesied peace and prosperity absolutely and unconditionally without adding the necessary proviso, that they do not by willful sin put a bar in their own door and stop the coming of God's favors, will be proved a true prophet only by the accomplishment of his prediction.","author":"Matthew Henry","tags":["bible","god","prophecy","prophet"],"id":32078,"author_id":"Matthew+Henry"},{"text":"I do not much trust the man who cares solely to inspire - he does not really inspire me - only the man who cares mostly to tell the truth, whatever that may do. For when the man who cares to tell the truth happens to inspire, I, in addition, find it easier to believe that he in fact does his homework on how and when one should truly inspire.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["believe","false-prophet","genuine","homework","honesty","inspiration","misguidedness","motivation","naivety","prophet","research","sincerity","trust","truth","wishful-thinking"],"id":32323,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"Your spirit nourishes from your old God and prophet, but mine nourishes from wisdom and conscience.","author":"M.F.

Many modern Christians are afraid to reject anything spoken by one who claims to be a prophet or prophetess.","author":"Iverna Tompkins","tags":["bible","god","prophecy","prophet"],"id":34282,"author_id":"Iverna+Tompkins"},{"text":"That Muhammad could predict certain events does not prove that he was a prophet: he may have been able to guess successfully, but this does not mean that he had real knowledge of the future. And certainly the fact that he was able to recount events from the past does not prove that he was a prophet, because he could have read about those events in the Bible and, if he was illiterate, he could still have had the Bible read to him.","author":"Muhammad al Warraq","tags":["islam","muhammad","prediction","prophet","skepticism"],"id":37284,"author_id":"Muhammad+al+Warraq"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":93,"pages":10,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
