ok im back

Answer 22

He Was A Prophet .

Answer 23

Yes ? Then he is (as I believe) a very Righteous person. He kept (almost) all commandments God, besides the time with 'Hagar' which is debatable if he transgressed anything, since it is believed that Sarah has never freed her. I wouldn't call him Prophet.

Answer 38

I Got Le Quote From The Bible . Believe Now?

Answer 39

um church of nativity is wrong

Answer 40

The first person in the Bible to be called a prophet was Abraham, the “Father of the Faithful.” It is important to notice also, that it was God who gave him this title. The story is found in Genesis 20:6-7. A heathen prince had taken Abraham’s wife, and God commanded him to restore her, saying of Abraham, “he is a prophet. . . .” (the Hebrew word is “nabi” as it is also in Arabic). Without doubt there were other men before Abraham who were prophets. Enoch was one, for instance (compare Genesis 5:24 with Jude 14). But Abraham was the first person to be designated a prophet by the clear Word of God. Many God-appointed prophets arose after Abraham.

Answer 41

Hebrew word is Navi, not Nabi, the renunciation is off. Also, you said that without doubt there were prophets before Abraham? Who ?

Answer 42

Enoch Was. He Wasnt Designated By God Tho

Answer 43

OMG no he wasn't ... I am not arguing about this !

Answer 44

Lol

Answer 45

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing :)

Answer 46

This is where the opinions differ. I take Jewish sources as authentic, and if you deny you just don't know.

Answer 47

You are getting this information, but from where ... ?

Answer 48

I got my sources from Torah, and Talmud that I have finished. (Torah 4 times, and talmud 1s entirely)

Answer 49

"Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. 7"Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours." 8So Abimelech arose early in the morning and called all his servants and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were greatly frightened.…"

Answer 50

I am not going to argue against a copy paste from I don't even know where, no offense.

Answer 51

http://biblehub.com/genesis/20-7.htm

Answer 52

Its From Le Bible Hun

Answer 53

well you can read its from biblehub.com

Answer 54

https://bible.org/seriespage/chapter-three-what-prophet

Answer 55

And Here

Answer 56

see? biblehub? Where do they know this from?.... but I know he wasn't a prophet. English old testament, is just a very bad copy of Jewish 'Torah'.

Answer 57

They miss and add so many things. That's what I am trying to say. They do admit that 'Torah' is the original old testament. But read the 2, and you get totally different information from them.

Answer 58

I am being too personal here... sorry. I guess the best would be to stop this argument. It is useless.
