Bible Note: PS Following are a few quotes that demonstrate the discomfort I have with experiences like you describe. What these folks talk about is substantively no different. If we allow for these self-validating, mystical experiences, then it opens the door for many other errors! "Mormons believe in revelation as the opportunity to commune with God. It can occur in a variety of ways. It is highly personal, and is initiated, understood, and improved throughout one's life by the knowledge one acquires and by the decisions an individual makes. The Church exists for the purpose of fostering this communion." --LDS Momonism (from "What We Believe") "I remain in full control of my senses of perception... I simply listen and take down the words that I hear and register the thoughts which are dropped one by one into my brain." --Alice Bailey (Regarding the Master DK's communications from her autobiography) "Muhammad heard voices and was not sure which was from God and which was not. He could not always distinguish the voice of God from that of Satan. Therefore, we find satanic verses even in Qur'an (Sura an-Najm 53:20-23)." (from muhammadism.org) "Here I must not forget again to insist upon the necessity of a personal revelation of our relations to God, as being naturally excluded from all access to him and his favour." --Charles Finney ("Systematic Theology") Please understand that I'm *not* saying your experiences are equivalent to Mormon, New Agers, Moslems, etc. I mean no offense. |
