Subject: special revelation vs general revelation |
Bible Note: Tim, In all honesty, I'm not exactly sure if you're asking a question or making a statement. My feelings are that, again you're assuming too much:-) First of all, may I ask did you agree or disagree with my comments to Hank and Radioman2? You state "If we do not hear form God on a regular basis, then How do we walk in the Spirit? If we do not walk in the Spirit, we must be practicing dead works handed down from the traditions of man or by the letter, which kills, it is the spirit that gives life." Well, we "hear" from God through His Word primarily. We do this by study and meditation. We also hear from God through prayer. Both the study of Gods' Word and Prayer are vital to the Christian life. As Hebrews 4:12 states: "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Tim, I honestly believe (from empirical evidence) that Gods' Word, faithfully and acurately proclaimed WILL without question change the hearer- if the hearer is diligent and humble in seeking Him! That's what Heb 4:12 is saying. Further, you also state "Anyone Born again, by Spiritual revelation can understand the Mystery" May I ask what this "Mystery" is or means to you? In other words, can you define for me what your understanding of this is so as I can better understand where you're coming from? Finally, yes God did speak to all these men- without doubt. However, if you're asking me if He's still giving direct "revelation" to us today, I would answer unequivocally, NO! This type of revelation, is again HIGHLY subjective. We have the completed, infallible, immutable canon of scripture. In that I stand firm. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
