An interruption of the Layman’s commentary. Are there prophets in this enlightened time of the New Testament?


My pastor, who is not the only one, will adamantly proclaim that there are NO prophets since the arrival of the New Testament. Is that true?  Let’s see what the scriptures say. “For just as we have many members in … Continue reading
