A seldom used gender specific noun for a female is 'prophetess'.
Answer A To my information, there are no female prophets mentioned in any of the four main Bibles. Answer B There are female prophets mentioned in the bible. A prophet who is a female is actually called a prophetess. One of the prophetess mentioned in the bible, her name is Deborah. You can find this in Judges 4:4. Upon further study you can find other women who were prophetess' in the bible. Answer C (Hint on Answer B above) Not any name mentioned in the Bible is considered a prophet or prophetess. A prophet/prophetess is one who is inspired by God through an angel and is assigned to guide his/her people to the right path of God. Is Deporah among those? I doubt. How the church, until recently, does not except female Cardinals while there are female prophets as claimed above? Answer D Prophet is someone who speaks by divine inspiration; someone who is an interpreter of the will of God. In religion, a prophet is a person who has been contacted by, or has encountered, the supernatural or the divine, and serves as an intermediary with humanity, delivering this new found knowledge from the supernatural entity to other humans. The message that the prophet conveys is called a prophecy. There are female prophets mentioned in the bible. A prophet who is a female is actually called a prophetess. One of the prophetess mentioned in the bible, her name is Deborah. You can find this in Judges 4:4. Upon further study you can find other women who were prophetess' in the bible. Answer E (Hint on Answer D) I agree with the definition above for a prophet. However, the definition applies also on the specially God blessed people and also to people who were supported with special God miracles and not considered prophets or prophetess. My view is that Prophets/prophetesses are only those who mentioned explicitly in the holy book as such and of course the definition above is automatically applies on them. Otherwise, many saints and saintas will be considered also prophets. In the KJV exodus 15:20 "Then Meriam, the prophetess, sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand...."....Notice it reads, "The prophetess", which may indicate she was the only one at that time...
The Oracle of Delphi was always a woman, and the only oracle I am familiar with, and known only by that title. A female prophet is usually called a prophetess.
