Subject: Can a congragent hear form God ? |
Bible Note: Sawubona, King... Our brother Brad has explained very well, I think. We do not exclude the possibility that God could speak to any one of us, even in an audible voice; nor do we exclude that all truth, no matter how it is communicated, is from Him. The old theologians used to talk about something called the "light of nature." Read Romans 1:18-23. We may know some things just by looking at the world around us. We may even know something about what God must be like by those observations. Nevertheless, that knowledge is inadequate. All that we are to know (for faith, obedience, and belief) is fully disclosed by God in the Word. Indeed, we are to walk in the Word, live by the Word, and be sustained by the Word. Once someone asked me about dreams. I told them that if they had a dream that seemed to be from God, then check the Scriptures. If the Scriptures contradicted the dream, then throw out the dream. If the Scriptures affirmed the dream, then throw out the dream and cling to the Scriptures. We are a forum in which participation requires that everyone believe this way. It is a requirement of our joining by our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation. This teaching is called sola Scriptura. We have no interest in dreams, visions, and whatnot; for they are not to be our authority. We live for the King by the Word of the King. Indeed, we live by every word of the Lord. If He were talking to people all over the world, we would have to be running around gathering those words. In His mercy and grace, He stopped all such nonsense by giving us a completed and closed revelation. In Him, Doc |
