Quite right. Prophets are a dangerous breed, licensed schizophrenics. And of
course they are their own licensing authority. (They sometimes sign in
triplicate.)

What would this guy have done if the voice of God had told him to kill
somebody? Would he have done it? Or would he have decided that wasn't the
real God, and ignored the voice? On what authority?

And what would have happened if the "genuine" voice have God had told him to
write another book for the Bible? Who would believe his claim to be divinely
inspired?

It's funny, but nobody seemed to question Paul's authority to proclaim
himself directly inspired by Christ, but if "Prof Mo" declared the same he
would run the risk of being locked up for his own safety.

Since the foundation of the church in Rome nobody has managed to convince
the whole Christian church they have got the ear of God. Can you explain why
that is the case? Coincidence?
