Bible Question (short): Regarding earlier post (thread) 156868 |
Question (full): I'm asking this question in regards to a different post by fwiaskycap regarding his dream. (refer to post 156868) I agree with everyone in relation to not assuming a dream is from God especially when the dream in question doesn’t point specifically to scripture. I also agree with any who pointed out the unloving and unfriendly rebukes that CAP received that bordered on abusive. But I have come to expect this on the forum from the high and mighties. I wonder if Cap had been sitting in your living room or Sunday school class and asked the same question if he/she would have received the same type of responses, humm. My question is. Do all of you believe that God doesn’t intend to include dreams as a means of speaking to Christians? And why is it that every time a person’s experience is mentioned there is a quick and sharp rebuke? Does God not use our experiences to mold and grow us? Because someone includes experience does not necessarily mean they are calling that experience equal to the word of God. If they do, then rebuke them, if they are not, then patiently coach them to understand the truth. Goodness. Jeff |
