Dear Chusarcik, Man lives by every word of God. If He were speaking, we'd have to run around and gather all those words. God now speaks through "the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience" the Bible. In Him, Doc |

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (New American Standard Bible) 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. Malachi 3:6 (New American Standard Bible) 6"For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. James 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. Job 33:14-18 (New American Standard Bible) 14"Indeed God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it. 15"In a dream, a vision of the night, When sound sleep falls on men, While they slumber in their beds, 16Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction, 17That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep man from pride; 18He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from passing over into Sheol. Joel 2:27-29 (New American Standard Bible) The Promise of the Spirit 28"It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. 29"Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. Acts 2:16-21 (New American Standard Bible) 16but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: (note: caps not mine) 17'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS; 18EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT And they shall prophesy. 19'AND I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW, BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE. 20'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME. 21'AND IT SHALL BE THAT (B)EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.' Acts 2:39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." Conclusion: Since all scripture is to be used for teaching, etc., and God does not change, and the promise is for all, it is reasonable to conclude that since He spoke in dreams to many throughout the Bible,including the Apostle Paul, that He can and will speak to us today in dreams as well. Hope this helps, Bows44 |

What it does NOT say - 2 Tim 3:16 What it does NOT say: 2 Timothy 3:16 All DREAMS are inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; (Emphasis added.) What it DOES say: NASB 2 Timothy 3:16 All SCRIPTURE is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; (Emphasis added.) Note that the definition of Scripture includes only WRITINGS -- only that which is WRITTEN. 'scrip·ture Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin scriptura, from Latin, act or product of WRITING, from scriptus 1 a (1) capitalized : the books of the Bible -- often used in plural (2) often capitalized : a passage from the Bible b : a body of WRITINGS considered sacred or authoritative 2 : something WRITTEN' (Emphasis added.) (www.m-w.com) I've never before seen anyone interpret 2 Tim 3:16 to prove something that is not Scripture (i.e. dreams) is inspired. It's like taking the verse and reinterpreting it to mean the opposite of what it actually says. Grace to you, Kalos |

Hi Kalos, I never said this scripture proves all dreams are God inspired. What this scripture is supporting is the fact that we can use all scripture to develop a believe system, including the ones I referenced. What I believe is the same thing you said in your other post. Grace to you, Bows44 |
