is it wrong or right to ask a prophet if he can give you a  prophesy?

Absolutely it is wrong. As far as scripture is concerned there are no modern day Prophets in sense of Jeremiah, Elijah, Isaiah, Daniel and a list of others. If you take a look at 1Corinthians 12. The latter modern term of Prophet means one who teaches. The bible is the fulfillment of God's word and instruction for us. Every thing we need is in the word of God. Let the word of God always be the measuring stick for our lives and the lives of others. Let's take a look what the word says concerning prophets and compare them to today's prophets. The true prophets of old spoke forth the words of God and there words where specific in addressing a problem or situation. Amos 9, Jer. 19, Is. 20 and much more] Modern day [prophets] generally speak very vague or unclearly concerning a situation. As if they are doing a process of elimination figuring out your matter by some bodily response or outburst. Most importantly true prophets of the old spoke of warnings and judgment to bring the people to repentance. Most if not all modern day prophets speak words of prosperity, comfort or various blessings with little if not any words of repentance or order. Not to mention all the while they will tell you whatever you need is predicated on what you give in the plate. My advice to you is to first pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance on finding a Holy Spirit filled person to help you with your situation by the word. If you are incapable of finding the answer. Remember everything you need is in the Word. No man has any special revelation or relationship with God more than you do. God bless write me anytime.

It is possible there may have been some sort of translating of such I guess... I just don't see how numbers are going to tell you anything. Nor do I see why you'd code a message meant to be heard. Anyway, it's possible, though I doubt the reliability. \n\nFor example, I could say the St. Louis Cardinals will win the Series next year. That would be prophetic, in a general sense. Whether or not it's a true prophecy or a false prophecy, that can't be told until next year's Series. So in the terms that the History Channel often uses, there are many things that could be considered prophetic.\n\nBut if you look at the meaning of prophecy, it's not just a guess-at-something-and-hope-it-comes-true deal. In that case it would be pointless and meaningless. A prophecy is a message from God to his people, and is always a promise or a warning. The only way to test a prophecy is simply to see if it comes true. Though, if you read the Bible, there are plenty of prophecies you'd rather not have occur. If God wants to tell his people something, it makes no sense at all that it would be in code.\n\n\nAnd, to one of these responses, there are thousands of "early" Bibles, and they are in several different languages.

Certainly The Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ismentioned in the Bible.\nThis would certainly interest our Christian friends.\n\nMuhammad in the Bible\nDr. Khalil Ahmad Nasir\n\nMuhammad in the Bible\n\nTABLE OF CONTENTS \nThe Historical Test \nA Prophet From Thy Brethren \nDivine Light From Paran \nThe Earth Was Full Of His Praise \nThe Prince of Peace \nConclusion \nThe world today looks for rational and historical evidence to prove the truth of a person who claims to be from God. These criteria fully support the truth of our Holy Prophet Muhammad.\n\nRational Test \n\nRational thinking indicates that the world was in dire need of revelation, of water from the fountain of spiritual guidance, at the time when the Holy Prophet appeared. He led an ideal life, a perfect example to be followed throughout the future. He started his mission against immense difficulties. He and his followers met strong persecution and opposition. But he was protected and helped by God in miraculous ways. Before his death his mission was firmly established all over Arabia and was rapidly spreading to other countries. \n\nHe worked miracles. He foretold the future, and his prophecies were fulfilled not only in his lifetime but continue to be fulfilled in our time as well. He brought a teaching  which has attracted countless adherents since he appeared. In short, all rational tests prove that the mission of the Holy Prophet Muhammad was truly from God. \n\nThe Historical Test \n\nThere is also another test, the historical one, which our present day world requires of a messenger of God. A notable American Bishop of the Catholic Church wrote in a nationally famous magazine that the test of history available to all men, all civilizations and all ages can be applied only to Jesus, because: \n\nThere were no predictions about Buddha, Muhammad, or anyone else -except Christ. Others just came and said: “Here I am, believe me”. Christ alone steps out of the line and answers: My coming was foretold, even to the smallest detail. \n\nThis statement is quite challenging and requires attention. We Muslims believe that Jesus was a true prophet of God. We also accept his advent as having been foretold in the previous scriptures. \n\nBut what about Muhammad? \n\nWe find that his coming was foretold in clear and precise terms not only by Jesus himself but by Moses and other Biblical prophets as well. In fact it seems from whatever words of Jesus are available to the world, that the bringing of glad tidings of a great coming prophet was one of the chief objects of his mission. \n\nAgain and again Jesus said that he was sent to the world only to give as much guidance as the people of his own time could bear. As for complete teaching which would stay forever with mankind, he said: \n\nBut the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14-26) \n\nOnly the prophet of Islam could have fulfilled this prophecy of Jesus. Muhammad was truly sent in his name because he bore testimony to his truth. The Holy Quran says: \n\nThe Messiah, son of Mary, was a messenger, "surely messengers like unto him had passed away before him" (The Holy Quran 5:76) \n\nThe Holy Quran reports that the angels told Mary: \n\nSurely Allah gives you good news with a word from Him of whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, worthy of regard in this world and hereafter. (The Holy Quran 3:46) \n\nThe Holy Prophet testified to the truth of Jesus as a divine and honored Teacher and Prophet, and declared them mistaken and misguided who thought him accursed. The Holy Quran described his teachings as "guidance and light ."Further elaborating the same prophecy, Jesus said: \n\nNevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will sent him unto you

There is no such thing as a 'sure' thing. You have to trust that he is.  Has he given you any reason not to? Have an open, honest discussion and pray like crazy. Good Luck!

A lot of scripture prophecy is written such a way that you can't see it ahead of time, but after it happens it is as clear as can be.\n\nJohn 13:19, "From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He."

Well if u take Jesus as prophet then there will be  no confusion...if he was God why havn't  he saved himself, If he was son of God,why didn't God  save him,and thre is no point in getting killed for other's sins.simply Jesus(pbuh) was  a prophet , and we muslims are at peace by believing this

You really have to get close to God in prayer. Also read and study your Bible as much as you can, and pray to God over the meanings. Never, ever take someone else's word for it that someone is a prophet! You really can find out for yourself.

Every one has right to choose, prophets only deliver the message of God, they never forced people to change the religion. They invited them politely as knowing the truth is the right of every person as well. After the message was delivered all people were free for their choice and there is no compulsion. Similarly if some one gets the truth, this is good for him/her and it makes no difference for me.

Simply, no.  The Koran is not a prophetic book, but the Bible is.

Not all prophecy comes from reliable sources. Those who see the future can also change it.Etc. Some things might just be misinterpreted. Maybe we won't need anymore religious leaders then. Hopefully we won't be converted to Islam.

In Christianity there no prophets today. There are some who have the spiritual gift of prophecy. They will usually be the great preachers. When I say great-I mean outstanding men who preach truth from the Bible, not necessarily preachers who have large churches. These preachers  do not tell the future, as some think-they preach hard, tough sermons.\nAnyone who claims to be a prophet today is self-proclaimed. They have nothing to do with God.

Why would he do that? If you feel it is right, do it. If not, pray about it. That is one of those situations where you do not know what is right or wrong.

I heard that too but it was just another dud! LOL.\n\nGoes to show that we don't have as many reliable prophets around these days, huh?\n\nNow for the last part of your question... only you can answer that. Hahaha!

Good question. \n\nThree different and distinct questions were posed to John the Baptist and to which he gave three emphatic "NO'S" as answers:- \n1) ART THOU THE CHRIST? \n2) ART THOU ELIAS? \n3) ART THOU THAT PROPHET? \n\nJews definitely had T-H-R-E-E separate prophecies in their minds when they were interogating John the Baptist. The Jews were waiting for the fulfilment of THREE distinct prophecies: One, the coming of CHRIST. Two the coming of ELIAS, and Three, the coming of THAT PROPHET....Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Be careful,the christian reich will have your question deleted!I bet there will be at least 4 to 8 people saying that either your wrong and will burn in hell, or that one prophet or another shouldn't be brought into this.I understand what you are asking,they do that because they can't handle the fact that they are at fault,"I'm saved from fault by the blood & sacrifice our lord made for me!"(as he types he speaks in a whinning voice)They can't admit thier faults antmore than my dog can type with one paw tyed behind her back!

A lot of people think so.  It really depends on how you interpret the 'prophecies'.  A lot of prophecies are written in a way that when you look at them in hindsight, they appear to have foretold something. Usually they are so generic that they could apply to a number of different events.\n\nThat said, I don't think he was a true prophet, just a talented writer.
