Was Ezra a prophet?

[pinacled]

Yes,
After an improper divorce according to Torah.
In chapter 10 of ezra's account we are left with very few details.
Its said that only some women had children but does not specify whether or not they are from previous marriages.
Then there is also the likelyhood that all the foreign wives mentioned were only betrothed with no consummation having occurred yet.
Which would leave the hebrews blameless according to Torah

Blessings Always

I'll add that being betrothed means that even if the marriage is called off by the hebrew men.
The women and their families were still honorably able to keep the dowry for provision according to Torah.

Riiiight.

 

[Andrew]

There are none in Ezra.
That was my point and that is one of the reasons that it is accepted as Scripture.

So how can I “Give (you) an example of a contradiction”?

There are no contradictions in any of the apocrypha books either

 

[atpollard]

There are no contradictions in any of the apocrypha books either

Which is irrelevant in a topic on Ezra.

The Westminster Confession of Faith and The Prayer of Jabez are two books that may potentially contain no contradictions of any other scripture, but nobody is arguing to have them added to the Holy Bible. Therefore that is not the only criteria for inclusion, it is only a criteria indicating non-inspired status.

(It is also potentially untrue as has been discussed in the appropriate topics on some of the other books. You can go to those topics and refresh your memory.)
