Greetings Jeff! Thanks for the response my friend! It is rather rainy here today! :-) Allow me to clarify my position just a bit. I do believe that the Holy Spirit speaks, and of course He is the same Holy Spirit. The difference to me is one of degree. The Holy Spirit moved the writters of Scripture to record a unique, new, and infalliable revelation. When I preach, yes the Holy Spirit moves (depending upon whom you ask of course :-) )! However, He is not giving me a new and unique revelation. He is helping me to understand, explain, and apply Scripture. But, He is not adding new Scripture. We may be saying the same thing with slightly different words. But, there are many who believe that Scripture is not the absolute authority in faith and practice, and that God will still give people today a 'new' revelation which can 'replace' or 'add to' the Bible. This is the position with which I disagree. Finally, yes I do study Greek. I have been for about 16 years now. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

We are saying the same thing. I beleive that it is God speaking through you when you preach under the unction of the Holy Spirit. Not you but Him. You have given over your "self" died to self and only He remains. His power and might. All youv'e done is open your mouth (and done alot of studying). You said "But, there are many who believe that Scripture is not the absolute authority in faith and practice, and that God will still give people today a 'new' revelation which can 'replace' or 'add to' the Bible." Isn't what they are really saying is "here is a new interprtation of scripture, an addition to what man has said it means before". Not new scripture, "Add this to the Book God Has Spoken." Who's saying that? Are you saying that God has not revealed a meaning of His word to you, personally. He has never opened up a scripture to you that has been confirmed by two or three witnesses? This is not a new scripture nor does it replace scripture but new Light like Luther got. He wasn't an apostle of old and God gave him (my words) revelation about "saved by faith." It became the crux of what we beleive. Now I'm not asking if God has revealed to you something as great as he did Luther, but all is the same in His eyes. Hasn't He opened scripture to you so you are the one writing the commentary using the words He gave you. Isn't that preaching. Aren't we actually expounding on our expiriences with Jesus as He renews our minds and perfects us into His image by being in Christ. I guess I'm not understanding. Only that which has been expounded on in the past is correct and only that which can be seen with the eye is to be relyed on? This is not my expirience. sun shining 60 degrees here. In Christ Jeff |

Greetings Jeff! No! I've actually spoken with those who believe in absolutely new revelation, in addition to and in some cases actually replacing Scripture. I have also spoken to those who believe that something 'revealed' to them has the same authority as Scripture, even if it directly contradicts Scripture. Concerning enlightenment, yes I have experienced times where God opened my eyes and helped me to understand a passage better. But, notice that Luther wasn't taught something 'new', he just finally believed something which was there all the time. :-) Rainy and 57 here! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Pray for them. They will face Judgement. All that God reveals is there we just have not gotten to a place where we can see it. YOU sure type fast. In CHjReIfSfT |
