This is where spiritual belief becomes the dominant force. According to a prophet, if a truth is truth, it is always truth, regardless of time or circumstances. Therefore if an evil is evil, it is always evil. A lie is always a lie, whether it is black or white. And killing is always wrong, whether the object of murder is an innocent child, or one as notorious as Hitler.
Spirituality is a level of consciousness that transcends rationality.
While a philosopher may reach the peak of the rational world of reason by opposing the irrational, a prophet becomes a sign post in the non-rational world of Spirit. The predominant feature that a prophet possesses, which a philosopher lacks, is the element of faith. Faith is something which transcends reasonableness, rationality, and even emotions. All prophets possessed this faculty to a great extent. They had faith in the existence of a higher power, and an eternal mode of being.
