Assignment - PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAP In John 1: Priests and Levites went to meet John the Baptist. In verses 20-21, they asked him questions: "And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? John said he was not the Messiah nor Elijah. So, we have one left, "That Prophet" He answered, “No" (Which means he wasn't that Prophet also) Verses 24-25 read: "And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?" I have used the Authorized King James Bible (politically not spiritually authorized) which says THAT PROPHET, NIV reads The Prophet. Either way, it's same thing. That Prophet, the Prophet and why was he referred to twice without mentioning his name? Is his name forbidden or it was mischievously hidden? Did the Priests and Levites (read your Bible before telling me not to differentiate between priests and Levites, that's how the Bible puts it) not know his name? If yes, why didn't John tell them? These are the questions Christians should honestly ask their pastors instead casting and binding anyone who cares to ask questions. It's not King James Era, it's the age of reason - of enlightenment.
