You're starting to be very predictable, Sojourner. It's quickly getting to where you just turn every debate into an anti-Mormon tirade. This thread really has little to do with why you or anybody else should accept the LDS prophet as a legitimate spokesman for God. If you will read the OP again you will see that the question asked was not, "Is Gordon B. Hinckley a prophet of God?" It was, "In light of the passage in Amos, and the fact that much of Christianity is based on the very existance of prophets, revelations, and inspired writings, why does it seem that most Christians deny the existance or even possible existance of modern-day prophets?"
If the culprit here is sectarianism, it's because that's what you've chosen to make it. Why don't you try actually addressing the question for a change. If you do not believe there is a need for living prophets today, tell us why. I'm sure you have the ability to do so as well. Tell us why you believe there were to be no more prophets called after Jesus Christ. Kai, Victor, and Michel were all able to address the topic without turning this into a sectarian battle. I am willing to bet that you might have some interesting thoughts on the subject. Take the time to sort them out and then come back with a less confrontational attitude. And for crying out loud, stop seeing us as the enemy. We're not.
