50 prophet types tickle your ears. 1 prophet tells the truth.

You listen to them all equally and decide the 50 got it right because they align best with each other (averages) and align closest to how you perceive the world or want the world to be.

This leads to folly. True prophetic word is not handled on the average. True prophets rarely (possibly never) bring a message that the people of the time want to hear or receive well. The Bible clearly identifies where true prophets were raised up to tell the Hebrew people to repent and that judgement was coming, yet the people and kings routinely beat them and rounded them up to execute them. It was much rarer that the Hebrew people repented and turned back to following God. The true prophets were often not the only voice calling to the people's attentions. Often false prophets were also present with opposing messages and higher numbers, some were exposed and executed, others never were called out for their falsehoods.

Now in scripture it is clearly identified that a person claiming to be a prophet of God must get it right 100% of the time. If he prophesies something that does not occur then the penalty was death because it marked him as a false prophet. In this context, falsely claiming to bring the word or message of the Holy, Perfect, Just God via the mantle of the Holy Spirit was a most serious offense thus the punishment for pretending you spoke on behalf of God and misled the people spiritually was death.

We don't seem to hold people to any similar standard of at least requiring 100% accuracy in prophesy today. I'm not suggesting those in error be eliminated, but they should be noted for error and derided as false prophets which too often does not happen today.
