Carico: if that's the end of the story, go find a new hobby and a new forum. You're done with philosophy and done with thinking. Go away.
Re: Genius = Prophet
People can be objective with regard to their existence against the absolute truth and reality, and also agree with Christ's words and be rational to the core. This thought is unfathomable to religious fanatics and quasi-intelelectuals.Carico wrote: This is my second psot here and I also hope to read and paricitpate in exciting discussions.
No, a genius is not a prophet any more than a prophet is a genius. A true prophet has to be speaking from God in order to be passing along the truth of God's word. Otherwise he's not a true prophet. That doesn't take intelligence, per se, only making sure that the words he speaks comes from the one true God.
That means that the words he speak cannot:
1) contradict themselves
2) Come from any personal agenda or human desire
And since God has told us that he will not send us any more prophets because we now hear from the Son, then anyone who claims to be a prophet but doesn't agree with Christ's words, is a false prophet.
From a rational aspect, a genius is a prophet.
