Bible Note: Hello Colton, Jesus said, "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth." (John 17:17) Are you saying that the Bible itself is not the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God? If scripture is true- and I certainly belive it is- 2 Tim. 3:16, then it needs no outside source for validatation! The Bible does not merely contain the Word of God- it is The Word of God! How exactly does God communicate to you directly? Are you saying that God communicates ourside of His Holy Word? Are you therefore placing credence in extra-Biblical revelation? Non offense, but you seem to be downplaying the authority of God's Word! Where do we find in scripture, "That's why GOD gives us the gift of insight"? If scripture is not wholly authoritative and complete in it's revelation of God to us, then it's essentially rendered meaningless! (Heb. 4:12) Are you then saying that direct revelation trumps Scripture? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
