Prophets are just people, the bible says so.

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.

That is my point the prophets were no better then any one else. they were just human.
Matthew 11:11 I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Matthew 19:25
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?"
The disciples got it.

Dues this answer your question? Jesus is the way and only way!
How can I be putting the prophets down by calling them scum. When it was not the prophets who are of spiritual value, but their Prophesy.

Where does it say in scripture that Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, etc. are prophets?

Acts 1:16
and said, "Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus—
Acts 2:25 David said about him: " 'I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Hebrews 4:7 Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." [ Psalm 95:7,8]
Those were the verse off the top of my head which speak of David's prophecy. The other three also spoke or did prophecy, but I can't remember any verse off the top of my head right now.
Craig:
Not wishing to argue. David was a king, a great man after God's own heart, he is credited with the Psalms. But he was not called a prophet, (that I'm aware of). Samuel and Nathan, I believe, where the prophets of king David, and Nathan of his son Solomon too.

You are showing yourself as an self righteous judge who is neither humble nor loving. Jesus never spoke to any sinner in that manner.
Your semantics about their prophesies does not change the fact that your love of the brethern is not sincere ( from sincere= without wax...a trick they used to conceal crack in their pots.)
Jesus did recognize a viper and a hipocrit and called them when he saw them. Even Satan was able to quote scripture. You say Jesus is the way the only way...... BUT .......If you do not obey God's command then you are not following Jesus.
Your fruits show us who you are
1Jo 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
1Jo 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
1Jo 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor.
Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Rom 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
I want to thank you for showing me that I can truely and honestly say that I still love you .....even when you say these kinds of things about any person .....The only reason I can this is
Eph 2:10 For I am his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that I should walk in them.
Beloved
