Due to technical issues I have stayed out of this debate.<br><br>If we disregard Hazal and the Rambam, what would our read of Tanach alone teach us about Nevi'im?<br><br><ol><li>Haftara's Bo. Yirmiyahu states that Nevucharezzar will whack Mitzrayim. What happened?</li>
<li>When Yona said Ninve is "nehepeches" did he KNOW the double entendre implication before he stated it? Or did he just know to use this term and the double entendre only became apparent after the fact?</li><li>
It is assur to Test a Navi too much [Hinuch Parahs Vo'eschanan] So once a Navi is established who says he cannot err? The proof of a navi emes is that BEFORE he has an established Hazzakah he may not fail otherwise he would be a Navi Sheker. But who says that an established Navi has to have the same level of infallibility? once HKBH told Avimelech that Avraham was a legit Navi why couldn't he miss a symbol or two? After all, lichora, the litmus test applies according to Miqra ONLY before a Navi is established?</li>
<li>Is the The fact that Avraham spoke to his son Yitzchak as a navi re: the Aqeida have the same parameters as a public nevuah? Or are there different standards for public nevuah and privafe nevuah?</li><li>Wasn't Shemu'el engaged in private Nevuah when he helped Sha'ul find his lost flock?</li>
<li>Was Rivka's Treatment of Ya'akov a public function or a private one? Was the prophecy converyed to her sufficient to motivate Ya'akov to action even though it was not a national prophecy?</li><li>What about the shtuyos embedded in Yosef's dreams? Didn't even legitimate dreamers have extraneous material?</li>
<li>If every navi is infallible then how is Moshe superior to brother Aharon and siter Miriam? Yet this is precisely what the Torah says in the is week's parsha! But how is that shayach when EVERY navi bats one thousand!? What's the nafka mina of peh el peh vs. Mar'ah? <br>
