Bible Note: Hi Tim, I've been waiting for you to join us :-) It certainly does presume all of these things, and that is why I so richly value the written Word above all. The Word is objective, while my inner experience is not. If I, or someone else, has some experience, I like to ask: Does it conform to the Word? Does it glory Jesus? Does it make me more like Jesus? Does it build up the body of Jesus? Yes answers to all of these go a long way towards my saying "Maybe, maybe, that was from the Lord." Thank you for bringing this out! :-) Love in Christ, Mark |
