Is The Angel under the Oak a Prophet?

Quote
11 The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. 12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior.”

 13 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the LORD has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.”

 14 The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”

 15 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.”

 16 The LORD answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.”

 17 Gideon replied, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, give me a sign that it is really you talking to me. 18 Please do not go away until I come back and bring my offering and set it before you.”

   And the LORD said, “I will wait until you return.”

 19 Gideon went inside, prepared a young goat, and from an ephah[a] of flour he made bread without yeast. Putting the meat in a basket and its broth in a pot, he brought them out and offered them to him under the oak.

I'm voting yes. Any complaints?

We're voting 'No'

Pretty sure we discussed it during PT and decided against it.

Can I ask the difference between AUTO and Gabriel that makes one no and the other yes?

1. He predicted the defeat of the Midianites.
2. There's extremely strong evidence to suggest he was Jesus.
3. He fits the criterion we've used to profitize both AWaSN and Gabe.

Conclusion: Prophet

I didn't mean it as if I think it should or shouldn't be.  I just would like some clarification on why some angels (10, by my count) qualify but AUTO doesn't.  By RDT's post, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that there is a good reason and it was discussed, I just was wondering what the difference is going forward :)  Thanks.

I don't remember that discussion, but I have to admit that Alex makes a convincing argument. I would have to vote yes.
Press 1 for more options.

He makes a very convincing argument.

James and I had a discussion where we wanted AuTo to be a prophet for some reason, and figured we wouldn't get it through, and I swear we had a discussion about it during PT - But if we didn't, then I vote Yes as well.

Probably because now Simeon is the third best bander in the game.

Well, yeah, I actually did remember why James and I wanted AUTO to be a prophet - But I didn't exactly want to let the cat out of the bag.

I figured it's pretty obvious. It's really the only reason non-green prophets ever matter.

While I understand the ability to band, the good version of Simeon (green, protected from discard if no SoG, CBN by evil) says it has to be a NT prophet, which AUTO is not.  Not sure the problem  :dunno:

Oh.


Proceed with your new prophet anyway though. Thanks.

Gold Simeon.

Well I guess this is all the way out of the bag now.

And I understand the combo that gives you this, I was just pointing out that it seemed people were wanting to use Green Simeon (which is much better), but that one doesn't work :)

I don't see anywhere people were suggesting Green Sim.
