Subject: Does that happen today |
Bible Note: We are saying the same thing. I beleive that it is God speaking through you when you preach under the unction of the Holy Spirit. Not you but Him. You have given over your "self" died to self and only He remains. His power and might. All youv'e done is open your mouth (and done alot of studying). You said "But, there are many who believe that Scripture is not the absolute authority in faith and practice, and that God will still give people today a 'new' revelation which can 'replace' or 'add to' the Bible." Isn't what they are really saying is "here is a new interprtation of scripture, an addition to what man has said it means before". Not new scripture, "Add this to the Book God Has Spoken." Who's saying that? Are you saying that God has not revealed a meaning of His word to you, personally. He has never opened up a scripture to you that has been confirmed by two or three witnesses? This is not a new scripture nor does it replace scripture but new Light like Luther got. He wasn't an apostle of old and God gave him (my words) revelation about "saved by faith." It became the crux of what we beleive. Now I'm not asking if God has revealed to you something as great as he did Luther, but all is the same in His eyes. Hasn't He opened scripture to you so you are the one writing the commentary using the words He gave you. Isn't that preaching. Aren't we actually expounding on our expiriences with Jesus as He renews our minds and perfects us into His image by being in Christ. I guess I'm not understanding. Only that which has been expounded on in the past is correct and only that which can be seen with the eye is to be relyed on? This is not my expirience. sun shining 60 degrees here. In Christ Jeff |
