Talk:Prophets of Christianity

message: The given scripture does not reference Job as a prophet. Is there one which does? Or is there a scriptural argument? Otherwise he should be removed from this list. Jonneyboy99 (talk) 16:28, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

message: This page was created to give a comprehensive list of all the prophetic figures in the Bible.  No such list exists as a whole on Wikipedia; although categories such as Nevi'im, Prophets of the Hebrew Bible and Christian prophets (all the members of which predate Christianity) provide some reference information, there is no treatement of the Christian Scriptures as a whole in this manner, particularly in regard to the New Testament figures. ◄Zahakiel► 06:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you will find your statement contradicted by the list itself, which gives referenced examples from the New Testament books.  This N.T. passage alone is enough to demonstrate the error of the contention: "And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch." (Acts 11:27)  You're not going to find a translation or commonly-held interpretation anywhere that denies what this verse says. If your problem is with the validity of the New Testament record, that is a matter for discussion on another page. ◄Zahakiel► 14:15, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I realize the Holy Bible does not mention Muhammad by name*, or directly, but Christians regard Muhammad as a false prophet and liar. Shouldn't his name be added to the list for the sake of educating people of views of Muhammad held outside of Islam?
*except for when our Muslim friends like to refer to the 16th century forgery "Gospel of Barnabas", but that's another matter entirely.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by .KGB6 (talk • contribs) 20:20, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Muhammed doesn't actually factor into Christian doctrine (even if the article wasn't limited to Biblical prophets), and it's completely possible for Christians to take the view that Muhammed was a Christian missionary and that Islam is a product of Uthman.

message: Perhaps the title of this article should be change to something like "Prophets in the Bible" or something like that, to help make it more specific. "Prophets of Christianity" is too vague. I say this because there are some churches, such as the LDS church, that believe in prophets outside of the biblical text. Thus, "Prophets of Christianity" seems to be, in my opinion, an implied generalization of Christian beliefs Gypsy Danger Dynamite (talk) 06:24, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It is called that in contrast to Prophets in Judaism; each have their own category, :Category:Prophets in Judaism and :Category:Prophets in Christianity, with sub-cat :Category:Prophets of the Hebrew Bible (i.e. "Old Testament" to Christians) in common, and another sub-cat for :Category:Prophets in Mormonism. I agree that some distinction should be made about LDS, preferably with a hatnote link to a lead article about prophets/prophecy in LDS belief, but I cannot find a suitable page to use. – Fayenatic London 07:38, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Until about a century ago, the Book of Revelation was not seen as a book of prophecy except by a handful of readers. It was considered apocalyptic literature calling out the Roman persecution of Christians by Nero through Domitian. If we keep John of Patmos listed, we should add a not that this is not universally accepted. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:22, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

message: I know alot of you don't believe in modern-day prophets, but a whole bunch of people through out history ran as it. So adding a section that list modern-day prophet wouldn't do harm, and make it easier to find people who ran as prophet post Jesus. Doremon764 (talk) 03:11, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

message: It doesn’t count to 68, maybe we should number the prophet similar to Prophets in Judaism & Prophets of Islam pages. Doremon764 (talk) 19:42, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Has a source section been removed from this article? I can't find anything in edits over the last couple of years. There are authors and dates stated in the references section but not the works referred to. BobKilcoyne (talk) 06:08, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

message: Miriam is described as a prophetess (in fact she is the first woman to be called that way in the Bible) in the Exodus. Specifically in Exodus 15: 20 - “Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing.” I don’t see why she wouldn’t be mentioned here. 190.166.149.15 (talk) 19:17, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
