But you cannot interpret this properly because Lee did not, and you take Lee's interpretation over the plain reading of the scriptures.

So who is "my brothers" in this verse, it is not just the 2-3 prophets:
1 Cor 14:39 So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy.

Paul is telling everyone to desire to prophesy.

It seems that prophesy is beneficial to the church, so the more the better.

And if you want the "plain reading of the scriptures", I hope you take note of this verse:

Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 1 Cor 14:34

You cannot insist on only 2-3 prophets and yet ignore Paul's command about women speaking in church. That would be hypocritical to say the least. If you want to say that women speaking in church was for cultural reasons (or some other excuse), maybe I can use that argument also for the 2-3 prophets, and say it was restricted to 2-3 because of the problems. As a general rule everyone should prophesy.
