Prerok: Razlika med redakcijama

 

V krščanstvu so preroki označeni kot "vidci", v skladu z [[Sveto pismo|biblijo]], natančneje [[1. Samuelova knjiga|1. Samuelovo knjigo]] ({{biblverz|1Sam|9,9}}). Kristjani delijo z Judi verovanje, da je prerok oseba, ki govori za [[Bog]]a ali v Božjem imenu ali ki prenaša Božje sporočilo ljudem. Sporočanje Božje volje se imenuje profecija. Za kristjane se avtentičnost preroka ocenjuje v skladu z [[Jezus Kristus|Jezusovimi]] besedami, da se preroka ocenjuje po njihovih sadovih ({{biblverz|Mt|7,15-20}}) in ne po tem, ali se njegove prerokbe uresničijo. [[5. Mojzesova knjiga]] (Deuteronomium) ({{biblverz|5Mz|18,21-22}}) vsebuje več opozoril o lažnih prerokih.

 

Christians recognize that anyone they consider prophetic is still human and fallible, and may make wrong decisions, have incorrect personal beliefs or opinions, and sin from time to time; the human characteristics of a prophet are independent of the message God has given him and do not negate the validity of his prophecies.

 

New Testament passages that explicitly discuss prophets existing after the death and resurrection of Christ include Revelation 11:10, Matthew 10:40-41 & 23:34, John 13:20 & 15:20, and Acts 11:25-30, 13:1 & 15:32. Christians believe that the Holy Spirit leads people to faith in Jesus and gives them the ability to lead a Christian life and to give gifts (i.e. abilities) to Christians. These may include the charismatic gifts such as prophecy, tongues, healing, and knowledge. Christians holding a view known as cessationism believe these gifts were given only in New Testament times and ceased after the last apostle died. Historical records, however, contradict this theory.[citation needed] Christians almost universally agree that "spiritual gifts" such as the gifts of ministry, teaching, giving, leadership, and mercy (see, e.g. Romans 12:6-8) are still in effect today.
