Prophets are just people, the bible says so.

I don't see why adding a bag of chips to Jesus makes any difference.  ;D

Beloved:
Are you a follower of Christ?. I cannot tell from the title of your topic or from your posts. 

Jesus was asked
(Mat 19:17 REV)  And, he, said unto him-Why dost thou question me concerning that which is good? There is, One, that is good! But, if thou desirest, into life, to enter, be keeping the commandments.

Almost all the people that God called to be His servants were imperfect and they all knew it. Perhaps the people who heard them or those who read their writings were impressed and perhaps even envious of their calling. I do not see one of the prophetsever exalting himself. They saw themselves as servants.
 
Jesus himself took on the human flesh to be The Servant
Phi 2:7  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

It seemed that the apostles and diciples all constantly referred to themselves as His servants

Rom 14:4  Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

I am not aware the God created any scum...but I know that we are all wretched sinners.    He created ALL of the vessels. It seems that you are struggling with some issue and I do not understand why you feel the need to degrade these writers and add snide terms like "chips etc. I do not see the love of the brethern there.

We all need to 'learn' to be humble and grateful what role we have been given.  I sense a bit of the spirit of Miriam when she resented Moses's position. I do not think anyone at BT forum thinks that the prophets in the bible were Super Saints..or believed that they achieved righteousness. They were chosen by God for His purpose and we also know from scripture
 
1Co 1:28  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

We therfore need to be watchful
2Ti 2:24  And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient.

1Co 8:2  And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

Col 3:15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Beloved

I also don't understand your choice for a title of this thread.  If the prophets were scum, what does that make us?  We should be thankful that we have such an appolgetic tool as the prophets and the people of God written about in the scriptures.  If I were to make up a fake god for the purpose of financial gain, I would make sure that those chosen of my fabled god were flawless (sinless).  The short sighted look at the sins of Moses, Abraham and such as putting God in a flawed condition.  This only shows how perfectly righteous our God is and that only God can achieve perfection at this time.  Again, the sins spoken of by God's people only goes to show that these things probably were not made up.


By the way, God did create scum.

I agree with the sentiment of others. No offence to you RV,but this post was not well crafted.Every time I see the heading,I cringe a little. I get the point,I just don't like the package it's wrapped in. I wish we could press delete and start over again.
