"Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;" -Romans 12:6
Since I was born in 1994 there have been have around 40 predictions that the world would end [1]. One of the major "predictions" was from Harold Camping. He predicted the end of the world multiple times (the irony of that is clear). The truth is, the Bible gives us guidelines on how we are to handle "prophets" (I use that word vary loosely in this case. With this in mind, it makes me wonder why there is not more discussion of the gift of prophecy. This gift has seemed to become a topic for the more "scholarly", when it is something that is vary applicable to the ordinary.
