1 | How to teach people to hear God's voice? | John 10:4 | flinkywood | 137350 | ||
Doc, would you rule out entirely the possibility that since Christ's ascension someone, other than Paul, has heard the voice of Christ? Colin |

No, Colin, of course not: Since Christ's ascension both of the apostles Paul and John heard the voice of Christ. After the time of the apostles -- i.e., outside of scripture alone -- I would be extremely skeptical. God speaks through His Word and through His Word alone. This is fortunate for us, since man lives by every word of God. If God didn't limit Himself to His Word, can you imagine what it would be like? We'd be running around trying to write down everything anyone ever heard from Him! God makes it easy for us. If someone says, "Thus says the Lord," if it isn't in scripture, He didn't say it. | ||||||

Doc, I've heard accounts of people hearing Jesus' voice; obviously, these are hard to confirm, but I can't disbelieve them; in fact, I want to believe them. That's just how I am. Colin |

That's understandable, Colin. Each of us has something that we consider authoratitve. If that thing is satisfied, then we are willing to believe. Your admission of a desire to believe and an inability to disbelieve in extra-Biblical Christophenies, is very honest and insightful. I strongly suggest that you settle in your mind the greater authority of Scripture. Even Peter said that seeing the transfiguration and audibly hearing the voice of God was less of a "sure word of prophecy" than the scripture itself. Having this solidly settled in your mind will prevent you from being deceived by those who would happily take advantage of your preconceptions of supernatural manifestations. Thank you for being so open and honest. I trust that my post will be received with the kind and gentle intent with which it is offered. In Him, Doc |
