Bible Note: Look in your Bible. Can you find any time in the entire history of Israel (or the church) when Israel (or the church) did not create new scriptures? Moses wrote new scripture. Isaiah did. Malachi did Peter and Paul and John did. All the time when the true church existed, it created new scriptures! The only time when new scripture was not produced was times when Israel was in apostasy, such as the time between the Old and New Testaments. Whenever the church thinks it needs no more prophets, it is because it prefers to kill the prophets. Matthew 23:29-32 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers." The true church is easy to spot. It is the one that produces new scriptures. Amos 3:7 "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." |
