A prophet must be a man.

[Woody]

"A prophet is simply a man bearing a message from God." Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Vol. 5, 383.

Please note that the church's stand on the issue of a prophet - is that the prophet must be a man. They needed women's lib even back in Ellen White's time. And we still need it today.

[Lysimachus]

The expression "man" simply can mean human being, in a non-gender format. Paul talks about the "man of God". It just means a person of God.

[Q.E.D.]

"27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them"(Gen 1:27)

Hmmmm. . . Man. . .male and female created he them.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Because when God says in Genesis that he created Man, he was calling Adam and Eve, Man.

"27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them"(Gen 1:27)

Hmmmm. . . Man. . .male and female created he them.

This is not written in OT lingo. This is current English language. I pray that a man is a man and not a woman.

[Woody]

Gen. 2:23 "And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

Since the Bible tells us to call a Woman a Woman and Man a Man - I think it best to do as scripture tells us to do. :)

You may be right. For if a woman so desires to be in the office of prophet - she thus has the right:

"[Women] are to be qualified to take any post that may be offered" Ellen White ("The Influence of Women," The Health Reformer, June 1880, 175)

[Woody]

Yes -

"When a great and decisive work is to be done, God chooses men and women to do this work, and it will feel the loss if the talents of both are not combined."

—Ellen G. White, Evangelism p. 469

[Woody]

Which is interesting considering the following:

"I do not recommend that women should seek to become a voter or an office holder" Ellen White --Review and Herald, Dec. 19, 1878. ChS 28

LGBT, it's getting harder to tell nowadays.

Heh, heh, To be a false prophet anyone can get into the fray.

But altogether a different story with a true. You see only God is the Prophet, the person is the messenger whom He alone doth choose!

By His Spirit if in you, you will know the True one.

1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Interesting how easy it is to spin something to say what we want it to say, but fortunately the truth always comes out. Thanks Pam.

Danke.

The motto of Loma Linda University is "To Make Man Whole". No they aren't just in the business of treating male patients. This topic smells like a troll.

The motto is referring to mankind.

It does not have an 'a' in front of it.

The quote has an 'a' in front and thus could not been read "A Mankind". However the motto you quoted can have mankind inserted without the 'a'.
