Why all prophet are man ? What is the reason?

Answer 1

There were women prophets as well, called prophetess.

Exodus 15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
2 Kings 22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.
Nehemiah 6:14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
Luke 2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I'm sure there are some female prophets obscurely mentioned, however, the bible was written by men in a time when women were considered second class, therefore, they will not be given positions of power of influence within something like the bible which was written as a guideline for behavior and worship during that time period.

Answer 3

hey, does anyone else find this odd? We got two muslims on here like they are talking in code? One asks a question that is about prophets and the other answers with a sports article?

Answer 4

u mean to say why not women ? that is a good question. at that time the life was difficult. to spread their message one had to struggle very hard, which women were not able to do. not only that .women were not given importance. at that time. they were suppressed. their job was to cook, look after the family & to raise the children. there might have been many women who were almost equal to the prophets but they did not come to the light. this is my guessing.

Ravens, Reed agree to six-year extension
Ravens, Reed agree to six-year extension

June 27, 2006

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -- Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed agreed to terms Tuesday on a six-year, $40 million contract extension with the team.

Reed was entering the final year of his original contract. The agreement ended off-and-on talks that began last season. Reed's agent, Greg Genske, said his client will receive a $15 million signing bonus in the largest deal ever given to a safety.

"Ed is one of the bright young stars in the NFL," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. "He's already had outstanding production, including his MVP season in 2004. He's an emerging leader on our defense, and to the whole team for that matter. The way he works, the way he prepares, speaks volumes to his teammates."

Drafted out of Miami by the Ravens in the first round of the 2002 draft, Reed quickly became one of the league's most dynamic playmakers on defense. He was named Defensive Player of the Year in 2004 and selected to the Pro Bowl in 2003 and 2004.

In 2004, he led the league with nine interceptions and set an NFL record with 358 yards on interception returns.

During his four years with Baltimore, Reed has totaled 307 tackles, knocked away 61 passes and picked off a team-record 22 passes. He has also blocked four punts, returning three for touchdowns.

Despite missing six games last season with a high ankle sprain, Reed was a first alternate to the Pro Bowl.

Answer 6

Deborah was an Old Testament prophet.

Answer 7

Some are women. But for practical reasons, most are men. Most prophets probably travelled alone in roads and wilderness. It wouldn't be prudent for most women to travel alone.

Answer 8

Not all men are prophets. I know prophets today that are women.

Answer 9

No Deborah of the bible was a (Queen Of Israel a Judge) and a Prophetess/Prophet just to name one (she is one of my faves and my name sake) A Wise and Brave Warrior Queen .

Answer 10

Because (until very recently) as a consequence of men's physical dominance over women, men have been "in charge", and consequently have authored the myths of scripture designed to intellectually "bully" the populace into accepting religion.
