Bible Note: Hello koscheiman, You had said: "Remember this vital point. Spiritual gifts and the revelatory process were to be co-extensive. If men are performing miracles today, their messages are as binding as the New Testament record!" If the message of miracles is as binding as the NT record, then the unrecorded miracles performed by the apostles are also binding--but we don't have these, so we must be missing part of the NT. And since the Gospel of Thomas purports to have unrecorded miracles, perhaps we should canonize it as holy writ. And perhaps the Gospel of Peter as well. I'm simply taking your absurdity to its logical conclusion. Steve |
