Your favorite Prophets?

[Jabar]

If you would rate the Prophets, which would you like most and which you adore most? *Would like a list*

 

[Jabar]

Bill Hicks

Lol.

 

[Lyndon]

Daniel, Jesus

 

[Jabar]

Daniel, Jesus

I see.

My top lists:

1) Prophet Muhammad
2) Prophet Moses
3) Prophet Jesus
4) Prophet Abraham
5) Prophet Adam

I still love them all equally, it is just i favorite others and think of others in a divergent way.

 

[Jabar]

I would say Abraham, he seemed pretty chill, the Jews aren't exactly known for their radicals. But then again he did preach the whole chopping off baby penis bits thing, which honestly sends him shooting down to the bottom of the list.

Yeah, i revere Abraham a lot.

He was great guy.

 

[Losin]

It has to be Isaiah. He is the most quoted prophet in the new testament.

 

[Rival]

I'm not Abrahamic but we have a prophet!

Zarathustra!

 

[Aštra’el]

I'm not Abrahamic but we have a prophet!

Zarathustra!

If you are not Abrahamic, than why would you post this in the Abrahamic DIR?

If you would rate the Prophets, which would you like most and which you adore most?

Now i can't show favoritism or adoration for anyone being, as only God is worthy of that... Yet in terms of prophetic fulfillment, intricacy, intelligence, and profound understanding:

1. Isaiah
2. Yeshua
3. Author of Revelations
   
4. Daniel
   
5. Zechariah
6. Habakkuk
   
7. etc

3) Prophet Jesus

So you've studied the Bible; which is your favorite prophecy by Yeshua?

4) Prophet Abraham
5) Prophet Adam

Where did either of those prophesies?

Aware of the Apocalypse of Abraham; yet it wasn't by him.

Zarathustra!

Thing is, Zoroastrianism influenced the Abrahamic Faiths so potently - pioneering the ideas of heaven/hell, resurrection of the dead, personal judgement, a saviour (saoshyant) - that I think, personally, Zoroastrians should be 'sort of' included in the Abrahamic fold even though you don't recognise Abraham as 'father of faith'.

It should also be noted that many Islamic scholars - followers of an Abrahamic religion - recognise Zoroastrians as 'people of the book,' with protected status like Jews and Christians. In the Baha'i Faith, the most recent religion in the Abrahamic tradition, Zoroaster is a Manifestation of God (major prophet).

So Abrahamics do seem to afford some recognition to Zoroaster (rightly so, given how much we took from him!).

 

[Aštra’el]

I have never been one to deny a connection between Zoroastrianism and Abrahamism, or Sumero-Babylonian mythology and the Old Testament... but some people here are adamantly defensive over what constitutes as "Abrahamic"...

For example... I worship YHWH has the highest and greatest being of the cosmos, and my spiritual-religious system involves Hells and Heavens, and Demons and Angels... and greatly incorporates Abrahamic and biblical lore... yet, some here would still say I am not Abrahamic unless I worship in a strictly monotheistic manner and belong to a widely recognized "Abrahamic" religion of many followers...

The criteria I use is which message resonates the strongest with me.
And the one that tops my list is Micah.

I agree with you that 'Abrahamic' can often be interpreted in a very limited, narrow way that oversimplifies the 'tradition'.

The problem stems from the misconception that the 'Abrahamic' religions occupy a straight, unidirectional line from Abraham and the Jewish religion to the Baha'i Faith in the 19th century.

Such is not the case. The Abrahamic tradition underwent significant redaction and imbibed insights from numerous traditions - ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian and Hellenistic (at the latter phase, as with the Wisdom of Solomon in the Deuterocanon).

Even in the Bible itself, we find that one of the prophets with a book named after him, Job, was not a Jew at all but an Edomite - a gentile, prophesying to other gentiles.

The Qur'an, for its part, makes clear that Allah has sent prophets to many different nations - many of them unmentioned in the Qur'an.

Many of the beliefs that we understand today to be quintessentially 'Abrahamic' would have been utterly alien to Abraham or the early pre-exilic Jewish authors of the Torah.

Nice.

[Jabar]

I prefer profits over prophets.

Lol,

 

[Jabar]

Somebody could make a set of Prophets Top Trumps cards. That would be fantastic..

What would the categories be?

Miracles
Prophecy
Worldly power
Wisdom
Smiting

All together.

 

[wizanda]

Jesus being born of a woman.

You said you adored his prophecy; so which prophecy by Yeshua that has come true?

Not a description about him, as that isn't related to the question.
