Hi Doves,

Recall I had posted a question regarding how to evaluate prophecy and the issue of accountability on the part of the prophets. I've also questioned whether or not errors due to interpretation were possible on the part of the prophet. I came across this verse which I think maybe helpful in addressing these issues:

Peter 1:19-21 (NIV)
19 And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.
21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

In Christ,

Sandy
