Read Deuteronomy 18. The Bible says that if a prophet is always right but gets one message supposedly from God that is incorrect you must dismiss him. You don’t make the excuse, “God really spoke to him but he misunderstood.” If God tolerates that ineptitude them how much does he tolerate? There are people who are good with accurate reporting. Why not speak to them? Even 2% error in a system will corrupt the truth and will do grave damage in time. The Bible rationale is that God is clear and in control.
It would be a miracle however for the prophet to be always right in everything else. Yet here we have God being the sceptic and saying otherwise. While sceptics like Carl Sagan and James Randi are falsely accused of being ideologues, the fact remains that they merely gave evidences for people to see through paranormal claims thus leaving it up to their readers and hearers. Here we have God being the super-sceptic, the stereotyped sceptic.
[We will ignore that teaching that one error gets the prophet the sack for the purpose of argument. We will hold that somebody always being right when giving revelations like a prophet is a miracle even if it is a different story tomorrow. So here we are told that the purpose of the miraculous protection from error is to clarify how reliable God is and that any miracle even a resurrection of Jesus that casts doubt on his competence and/or clarity should be ignored. We are not to worry about, “This is something that nature cannot do so it must be a sign from God.” We are to worry about, “This is something that nature cannot do so it must be a sign from God if there are no real objections and it fits in the framework of how God does not communicate lies or errors. The best sign is one that is prophesied and happens all by itself.” That sets a very high standard.]
A prophecy when it has not come to pass yet should not be believed even if the prophet or forecaster has never been wrong. But as nature comes first and any paranormal or magical or supernatural-ridden suppositions do not even count in the face of nature and should not. Without prophecy we have no reason to believe any book is written by God or inspired. We have no reason to trust in prayer.
A miracle claim opposes the truth: the dice comes up continuously 40 billion times as a six but that has nothing to do with what it is going to come up the next time. I call that the dice principle. That is clearly more startling than anybody coming back from the dead. The
Typically, the Bible asks for belief in prophets of God for it both honours them as God's servants and brings closeness to God and his truth that he conveys through them. So while the Bible affirms the dice principle as we have seen, now it contradicts it. Asking for belief is odd considering that the prophets might be wrong in the next "revelation" and need to be discarded. Then to take that seriously you have to take a wait and see attitude. To do that means you will never affirm Moses or Muhammad or Jesus as prophets. If you accept them then you are being pragmatic rather than faithful.
Jesus cheated by simply saying, "I will never get it wrong and let you down." That defeats the whole argument of Deuteronomy 18. [With Jesus there is the problem of knowing when he is guessing the future or predicting it. He never started off with, "Thus says the Lord." Moses and Isaiah and others used that, according to the Bible, when they gave prophecy from God, when God was revealing hidden knowledge. The John gospel gets around that by having Jesus say that everything he says he heard it from his Father, God.]
Given that only a God might know the future, a man rising from the dead is not enough. You need it to be predicted first. The Bible realises this which is why it says Jesus rose from the dead according to the prophets.
