Subject: Does God speak to us in dreams today? |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, I am sorry, but again I have to disagree with your characturizations. To my mind, I am not "assuming" extra-Biblical revelation. :-( This is what the Bible teaches me. I have presented a textually based foundation for why I believe that. I have not seen a textually based refutation showing me where I am wrong, simply the assertion that I am wrong. I have not seen a textually based exposition of what the Bible actually teaches, were it to teach something different. Is there then no voice of God, heard anywhere, by anyone, by any means, but what is from the printed page of the Bible? Paul, in 1 Cor 14, gave us rules on how to go about sharing what the Lord had given to us by prophecy, His direct revelation to individuals. Would not Paul have simply said, "If you think God is speaking to you, shut up, because He's not. You're not an apostle, your words are not the Bible, so forget it." Is this actually a discussion of cessationism? These are just some more of my thoughts. We needn't neccissarily continue this, as I think of it from a cessationinst point of view, both camps are widely represented in the archives. Love in Christ, Mark |
