Subject: Hereing from God |
Bible Note: Hello to you BradK Iam posting this to you because you are the one having this conversation with James. After reading all of this thread Iam not seeing where James said that when God spoke to him he (now) has a message to the Body of Christ. He just said God spoke to him. Did he question the authority of the written word? These were his words. I'm just saying that, for me, He gave me an experience to hear his voice, 'it sounded like thunder', and also maybe an angel. Also in looking at all of the scriptures about this subject. There are not any scriptures that are saying that anything that a (prophet or a dreamer) will say to us in this (End Time) should be recorded in a (New Canon). of scripture. This scripture is telling us how we are to be treating the prophet or the dreamer. But it is only saying (if ) they are saying something that will lead the people away from God. Deut. 13 1--- (If) there arise among you a prophet, (or a dreamer of dreams,) and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2--- And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, (saying, Let us go after other gods,) which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3--- (Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that) prophet, or that (dreamer of dreams:) (for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4--- Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. 5--- (And) that prophet, or (that dreamer of dreams,) (shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God,) which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, (to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in.) So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. You are saying "There is not one single verse where God is teaching and or prescribing that dreams, visions, and audible communication from Him are to be for all people at all times!" This is being a prophesy about the (end times) Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, (your old men shall dream dreams,) your young men shall see visions: This is being said again because we are (now in) the (last days.) Are we not? Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, (and your old men shall dream dreams:) Are we supposed to be beleaving that in (the end times) when these prophesys visions dreams are taking place that they are not going to be spoken to the Body? And as we have been told in Deut. we have been given a way for the judging of them to be taking place. Speaking the Truth in Love, KcabmI4 |
