Bible Note: Strom, I note phrases in your post about which I'd like to ask you a question. You use phrases such as "Jesus has shown me ... the Lord opened to me ... the Holy Spirit spoke up on the inside of me and said ... Jesus told me." My question is this: HOW has Jesus shown you, opened to you, told you, the things to which you refer? Through Scripture (see 2 Timothy 3:16) or through extra-biblical, personalized and individual revelation? Incidentially, whoever the "widely published and well-respected speaker" was who told his congregation that they were supposed to give God all the glory because He wants it and needs it was wrong on both counts. God doesn't want all the glory, He demands it; but He certainly doesn't need it. --Hank |
