Bible Note: "Any prophet speaking for Jesus, in other words, as a conduit for Jesus' own words, with a clearer explanation of spiritual things than the Bible gives us, is going to be false." ____________________ Tj57h@cs.com writes: "I am sorry that you do not see this scripture as It has been revieled (sic) to me, I operate in it's spiritual power every day. The word that I have posted on the forum is the truth as it has been revield (sic) by the Spirit to me, I am not saying I have no error in my life, I am submitted to God and he will lead me into his truth. Just because you do not understand it, does not mean I am wrong!" "My prayer also is that everyone reading this will pray for me to further be revealed the truth from the Spirit of God." ____________________ "New" Revelation 'Whenever you hear that kind of thing, there is a very important question you have to ask. I know what the truth is, and when I compare the first revelation to the second revelation, I know the second revelation couldn't be Jesus speaking through whoever that prophet is. It is not enough for someone to say, "Jesus told me this thing, therefore you ought to believe the revelation." Though many people leave it at that, quite frankly. I'm really surprised that there are so many so-called prophets of Jesus here now in these latter days, and they make a bald-faced authority claim and say, "You ought to believe this." Why? Because Jesus is speaking here. Well, the very question is...Why should I trust that any of this new material is a genuine revelation of Jesus? Why should I trust that? ( . . . ) 'What about people who pop up nearly 2000 years later and claim to have the most recent word from Christ after a couple millennia of silence? Often times you will get this response, "Well, it feels right. I really have this feeling that it's true. I have a burning in my heart that authenticates the truth of this alleged revelation." This response just won't do because what they're offering is a mere subjective test for something that is supposedly objectively true. Yet this objective truth is not patently obvious on the face of it.' ____________________ 'Testing "New" Revelation' by Gregory Koukl.
