[Avodah] can a navi make a mistake

[hankman]

I apologize. I was a little sloppy with the wording of my response to RET in my previous posting. 
Where I wrote: "Whether the nevuoh comes to pass as the novi predicts is another parsha and is not an indicator as to whether the novi misinterpreted his nevuoh." this should have read: "Whether the nevuoh comes to pass as the novi predicts is another parsha and is not always or necessarily an indicator as to whether the novi misinterpreted his nevuoh and is therefore a novi sheker. It will depend on the Rambam below.

See Rambam Yesodei HaTorah 10:1-3 when the nevuoh must come to pass and 10-4 where the nevuoh does not necessarily need to come to pass.  The latter was obviously the case for Yona.
