When His Eminence Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen was asked: Is there a difference between a Messenger and a Prophet? He said: Yes, the scholars say: A Prophet is one to whom God has revealed a law and has not commanded him to convey it, but rather he acts upon it in his own mind without being obligated to convey it.
A Messenger is someone to whom God has revealed a law and commanded him to convey it and implement it. Every Messenger is a Prophet, but not every Prophet is a Messenger. There are more Prophets than Messengers. God has mentioned some Messengers in the Qur'an and not others.

But I departed from the consensus of scholars in this fatwa with two verses from the Holy Quran.

God Almighty said: (Messengers of good tidings and of warning, so that mankind will have no argument against God after the messengers. And ever is God Exalted in Might and Wise.)
God Almighty said: “Mankind was one community, then God sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners, and He sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that over which they differed.”
Both verses confirm that both the prophet and the messenger convey what was revealed to them according to the text of the Qur’an, and there is no exception for any of them. Is it logical that a matter concerning the people would be revealed to the messenger or the prophet and he would not convey it to the people?

So, did I contradict the Qur’an and Sunnah or contradict the consensus of scholars?
Am I thereby denying something that is known in the religion by necessity from the Qur’an and Sunnah, or am I denying something that is known in the religion by necessity based on the fatwas of scholars?
When fatwas are of a higher rank than the Qur’an and Sunnah, I welcome the fact that, from their point of view, I am denying something that is known from the religion by necessity.
