What is the answer to this?

There can definitely be more than one minor prophet at the same time but definitely not more than one major prophet at the same time.

What's the difference between a major prophet and a minor prophet other than the size of the books that bear their names? Do you measure their impact or importance by the size of their books?

It has nothing to do with the size of the books. Elijah and John the Baptist were major prophets but they only have a few chapters attributed to them.

It depends on the scope and importance of their prophetic ministries.

It amazes me to see that a man can offend you so much. What is comforting to me though is that Jesus also offended many people and He himself said 'blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me'. Many walked no more with Jesus because what he said drove people away. When he did miracles the people loved him, but when he spoke they didn't want to know! Many prophets of the Bible also offended many people. Moses offended many israelites and two million perished in the wilderness. The Bible says that if people speak well of you then beware. If people do not speak well of you then all is well.

Anyway, you have said quite a few baseless disparaging remarks about William Branham and yet you have consistently failed to provide any proof whatsoever that he is a false prophet. You have been very vague and unspecific in your comments. No one to this day can prove he was not a true prophet because they know he was! No one can ever deny it! But they will.

Please could you possibly be more specific? You say you have seen nothing supportive or affirming of any prophecies. With all due respect, you probably haven't even bothered to look and find out if it is so or not. You take one look at one sermon and then cast it all aside. Could you perhaps be more precise and tell me exactly what prophecies have not been fulfilled? I am not referring to those which are yet to come (and they will come to pass whatever anyone thinks) nor am I referring to predictions he made. What I am referring to is when he said 'thus saith the Lord'. You will find however that you cannot and will not be able to disprove anything he ever said in His name. But you will continue to throw unsubstantiated accusations, no doubt!

Further to this, you say he said sensational things which are false. Again, what did he say that is sensational and false? Again you are being very vague in your remarks. Did not Jesus say sensational things that drove people away?

I look forward to the 'proof' you will provide to back your claims.

God Bless!

Who decides the scope and importance of their ministries? Is there any record as to where the messages they preached were carried to by the initial hearers or how many in total took those messages to heart? I believe that the minor prophets are thus identified only because the books that bear their names are smaller than those of the major prophets.
