Question

If a prophet of God arrived on Earth today would we lock him up in a mental institute?

Answer 1

Only if I told you why I was really here. That's why I do it on the internet. Harder to find me to lock up.

Yes, most likely we would lock them up.

If I told you Jesus was my younger bother, would you persecute me for this belief? What if I am? Perhaps this is why I don't push this issue. Don't want to be locked up or stuck on a cross.

Good question.

Answer 2

Why would we want to lock up 80% of our american population?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Why would we do that when millions of delusional "believers" are out there walking the streets?  Don't be silly!

Answer 5

Yeah, or try to kill him.

Answer 6

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Can you get me out???

Answer 7

More than likely, If Jesus showed up today and started talking the way he did he would end up in an institution.

Answer 8

As a Mormon, I do believe there is a Prophet of God on the Earth today.... his name is Thomas S. Monson.  

Answer 9

Only if he insisted on spouting the same Scriptural drivel as most of his predecessors, and then tried to force his "beliefs" into law!!!

The problem with self-proclaimed prophets of God is:

1) None have ever prophesized anything that was not 'after the fact'.

2) None have EVER made any accurate predictions that can be verified historically.

3) Most are so fanatically absorbed in their own fanatasies that they should commit themselves to mental institutions.  

Answer 10

yes

there is no doubt

if jesus were alive today, and it was known that he was the saviour, the wickedness of politics and power hungry secret combinations would surely put him in a straight jacket. and lock him up!

first of all, jesus would come and say he talks with God! ooops schizzophrenia

second if there were a temple, and he cast out the money changers! he would be labeled violent and a threat to others, what do they call that in psychology?

third he would say people are trying to kill him, Paranoia. Even though it was proven by people who confessed

fourth he was called a man of sorrow, ooops Manic depression

there are every single psychological disorders that can be labeled on christ not to forget false witnesses bribes and payoffs.

there is no difference for prophets who testify of jesus.
