I trust the prophets. They were humble men. Realizing the need to be humble. They chose to humble themselves wearing sackcloth and owning nothing. God can use men like that. They can be trusted because they know not to try to steal his glory. These preachers today, making big bucks, expensive suits, etc. They can not be trusted.I think there was some trouble validating Jude.
The prophets though, weren't they speaking for God? When Jesus referred to "Scripture says" wasn't he referring to the actual Word of God? Did Jesus ever say that Scripture was the Word of his Father?
Maybe Jesus himself knew that scripture was the written work of man. Important none the less but the recording of man telling the story.
The prophets were speaking by divine authority. Some of their "speakings" were recorded and some were not. Yet they were relaying the messages they were receiving from God.
