willemina quoted: Lk 7:28 "For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he." (KJV)
When I see this verse I think of the question that I've heard RC Sproul ask, "Who was the greatest of the Old Testament prophets?"
Sproul's answer? "John the Baptist." <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cheers2.gif" alt="" />
