We agree with the conclusions that we cannot know false prophets simply by their legal status or circumstances. If we could, our prophets would all make lots of profit. However, you imply we cannot have negative emotions if we are filled with the Holy Ghost. We have heard the phrase 'righteous anger'. Is there truly such a thing? Yes. Evil makes us angry. It should be emphasized it is not the emotion within the prophet which determines whether they be true or false, it is the feelings they create in others.

Quote:
Matt 6:24 ΒΆ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


Either we love God AND hate Satan, or we hold to Satan and despise God. We cannot love Satan. It is an impossibility. A righteous man can have hate in his heart when faced with evil. But he will not create hate for others or propagate the hate. Instead he will generate feelings of love and peace in others, even if he himself is in turmoil.

God Himself has wrath and anger. He is always in control of His emotions, but He has them, both positive and negative. But God will never promote negative emotions in others.

Also, as this book is intended for all Christians, using more examples from the Bible when identifying prophets who have been imprisoned would capture a wider audience. Daniel in the Lion's Den, Shadrack, Mishak and Abednigo in the firey furnace, many of Christ's Apostles were imprisoned and put to death, etc.
