202 The Promised Messiah as taught that the reason people hold such misconceptions regarding Prophets is because of their lack of understanding, their failure to fathom the Divine word, and their eagerness to spread their half-baked ideas. All of God’s Prophets are sinless. They are an embodiment of truth and devotion and a reflection of Divine attributes. Through their own purity and holiness, they point to the Purity and Holiness of God. They are like a mirror in which a sinner will often see a reflection of his own distorted self and naively attribute it to the Prophets. Adam was no sinner. Abraham never lied.
