Subject: What happens when you refuse God? |
Bible Note: Dear Gillyhaz, No, SCRIPTURE is our authority, NOT experience! What you are saying has no foundation in Orthodoxy. What scripture(s) says we are to live and be guided by experience? Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6); "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth" (John 17:17) Jesus is the Truth and His Word is Truth, but experience is not! What you are being lead by is subjective in nature. If you "only go on experience", then where does that leave the Word of God?..., second place? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
