To the editor:

Now that the Phelpses are in the news again, I have one question to ask them.

In the trial defending themselves against a lawsuit brought by Albert Snyder last year over them picketing his Marine son’s funeral, one of the Phelps sisters stated that they were a “prophet” basically to warn America she was doomed. This statement was reported by various print media, including the Lawrence Journal-World.

My question to the Phelpses is this: How many of the generally accepted biblical tests of a true prophet have or can you folks pass? Fail just one but pass the rest, then according to the Christian philosophy you are a false prophet. To be a true prophet all tests must be passed.
