I wonder if there is a way for 'us' if we can spot out a false prophet from a true one? Well, in this age of science where everything is based upon facts and evidence, if we tried I am sure we could. Well, I would like to start a running list of 'qualities' a prophet should have or do in order to qualify as a true prophet. Please feel free to add more if you can think of:
1) They have to perform miracles.
2) Can bring back the dead. I would like to list this separately because this is quite significant, how many prophets really had the power to bring back the dead?
3) They have to give prophecies.
4) Their prophecies have to come true.
5) Their moral conduct is of the highest standing.
6) Have to had spoken directly to God. In other words, getting their message or revelation from God directly instead of getting it through a secondary source.
7) The prophet in question should not contradict the true prophets before him/her.
