    Why and what makes more trustworthy the prophets of the books of the Christianism than the other prophets? Why ones are writing the word of god and others not? What make them real and authentic and the others false?

    If I say that I am prophet of god, and god tells me what I have to say to people, what would be your impression? What would you think of me?, and why?, give your reasons. What would make me different from the prophets of the book that you believe as real and being the word of god? Why?

    According to the prophecy of Moses, the one prophet who would not die was to come, chosen from among the brothers of the Jews, and a prophet who would do great miracles like Moses, himself, had done:



    This was fulfilled by The Elijah, who never died and did great miracles.

    18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

    19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

    20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

    what prophets of what books of christianism?
    I thought the prophets were of Old testies
    'word of god'
    i just wrote it...

    You can write, dont believe the idiots that claim otherwise!

    that is like asking a 'chosen one' why they are chosen over you.
    i would ask, "How can i live forever?" And with that, comprehend if what you represent is true or not.
    the good can enable 'life to continue' and live longer

    the rest will go extinct, eventually

    According to the Old Testament, a prophet has to be 100% correct, verified by at least 2 or 3 sources, in his prophecy. If He said something came from God and it wasn't proven to be 100% correct, he was stoned to death. So, being an accepted prophet was a big deal. Nostradamus would have been stoned, so would Edgar Cayce and his ilk.
