Female Prophets

Re: Female Prophets

Peace kprasad

Thank you for the sentiments … the problem with the notion that there “are no female prophets” is that one needs to assert evidence for it, we do not have evidence to suggest that “there are no female prophets” also we cannot say that religions are man-made on local customs since that would suggest females and males differ significantly - are you saying that women do not make up religions and men do? And if so - how can you prove that? How can it even be proven that men made any religion up on the proviso that the prophets were men?

Your argument is taking this form:

There are no female prophets therefore men made religion

Are you hence suggesting that:

If there were male and female prophets therefore God made religion?

If not then your argument for contention is misplaced. In order to have a valid argument is that when you change the premises the conclusion changes. So if in all three possible cases the conclusion does not change then you have to conclude that the inference being made connecting the premises with the conclusion is wrong.

If A then B
If not A then C, where C is not B.

If A is the premises - “There are no female prophets”
B is “religion is man-made”

It is a logical requirement that if not A - “there are some female prophets” hence C must be “religion is not man-made” … If it can be shown that having female prophets will necessarily rule out man-made religions then you have yourself a valid argument - but you will not have that valid argument.

One can just as easily say if there are male and female prophets then men and women made religion … or if there are only female prophets then women made religion. This is happening because you are connecting two things that have no cause and effect relationship that is necessitated in the logical sense.

My argument is: Men made religions, so there are no female prophets.

You have my assertion backwards. Having rectified your understanding, your above premise, if somewhat flawed, is a good basis for my rebuttal.

Men made religions. Religions reflect the culture, and superstitions, of the period and location they were created in. Therefore, there are no female prophets.

Your assertion is: There is a god. It’s your particular variety, your one true god over the other myriad of one true gods. Yours is the most authentic and last prophet, over the other myriad of authentic and last prophets. Also, divine revelations seems to have only been give to men, ignoring half of humanity.

My evidence for my assertions are religious books. In specific, the Quran, Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith, Bible, Ramayana, and Mahabharata.
