Matthew Stuckey here, and I'm giving you another video exposing Mormonism, and what I want
to address in this video is this question, do we have modern day prophets?
Do we have modern day prophets?
The religion of Mormonism is based on a system of prophets and leaders in their church, and
they make the decisions worldwide, not just in individual local churches, but worldwide.
They believe that they have modern day prophets, and they have a head person of the Mormon
church, who is basically this modern day prophet that speaks on behalf of God, very
similar to how the Catholic church has a pope.
What they'll say is that we need prophets, and the Bible teaches that we have modern
day prophets.
They'll often quote a verse from the book of Amos.
Amos 3 verse 7, the Bible reads, surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth
his secret unto his servants the prophets.
They say, well see, God reveals his secrets onto the prophets, therefore we have modern
day prophets, and he's going to do nothing without prophets.
Now that verse by itself is a great verse, I have no problems with that verse.
We have to understand the proper context of that verse, and understand that this was written
in the Old Testament, and see what the Bible says in Hebrews 1 verses 1 and 2 is this,
God who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the
prophets hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath appointed heir
of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.
So the Bible says that in the past he spoke by the prophets.
The book of Amos is in the past, but now he's spoken unto us by his son, and we have to
realize that Jesus Christ rose again, and then after that the books of the New Testament
were being written and compiled, and today we have a Bible that has 66 books.
It's completed, it's finished, and when you think about God revealing secrets, he reveals
the deep things of God to us by the word of God, and if you are saved and you're filled
with the spirit, the Bible says ye need not that any man teach you, but the anointing
which abides inside of you, that teaches you of all things, and see when you read the word
of God, if you are saved, you have the Holy Spirit of truth dwelling inside of you, and
you can read the word of God and learn things for yourself.
You don't need some special prophet that is going to reveal hidden things that nobody
knows.
The Bible says in the past he spoke by the prophets, but in these last days he spoke
unto us by his son, of course Jesus Christ is the word, so if you have the Bible, if
you're a saved person, and you read the word of God, you have the spirit of truth inside
of you that can reveal to you those things, and you can know what the Bible says.
We do not have a need for a modern day prophet, and there are no modern day prophets.
What we have is preachers that proclaim what the Bible has already written, but what we
do not have is these modern day prophets that are foretelling the future.
Anyways, thank you, and God bless.
