The Riddle of That Prophet
Sunday, June 13, 2010
Gerald Flurry has omitted two key scriptures from his book, Who Is That Prophet? These two scriptures prove that he has misinterpreted John 1:21. His misinterpretation of John 1:21 is the platform on which he has placed all of the material that he says is the revelation that God gave to him about a previously unknown prophet. An explanation of his mistake is available in HTML and PDF formats at the following links.

To fully understand his mistake, you need to appreciate the meaning of theory number 2. Theory number 2 is a portrayal of Mr. Flurry's method of interpreting New Testament verses that contain “that prophet” or “the prophet”. Theory number 1 is the reverse side of the coin.
Mr. Flurry has confused the beliefs of professing Christians with those of normal members of Jewish society who were living at the time of Christ's ministry on earth. He has assigned Christian beliefs to all speakers who utter the name, “the prophet”, in the three passages in John's gospel account.
The 2001 PDF version of Who Is That Prophet? can be accessed by the link below. The Philadelphia Church of God removed it from its website prior to publishing the 2007 edition.

The PCG now provides it in hard copy form only. The reason for this is included in the history of the riddle.
I sent my tithes to the PCG for nearly seven years, from 1995 until 2002. I withdrew my financial support when I saw that Mr. Flurry had firmly committed himself to maintaining this erroneous belief.
