Subject: dreams and visions |
Bible Note: Chochma: The problem, as I see it with dreams and visions as you have referrred to them is this- they are completely extrabiblical and subjective in nature. As one who believes in the inerrancy and authority of scripture, dreams and visions are nothing but convenient "end runs" around this. Instead of the Bible being the authority ( as Christ gives it in His proclamation against satan in Matt. 4:4-10), personal visions, etc. become the basis of "truth". The highly subjective nature of dreams and vision should caution one against their being given too much credence! We have the completed canon of Scripture as our final authority and plumb-line of truth! As Jesus said, He is the way, the TRUTH, and the life (John 14:6). Just out of curiosity, you state "To deny any of these methods of communication is to deny God His/Her rightful voice." Upon what basis would you give God a feminine gender?
