Bible Note: Dear Jesusman, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Are you saying that because Abraham was apprehended directly and personally, without the written Word or a preacher of the Gospel, that it still DOES happen, or still CAN happen? One (CAN) is simply theory, therefore may be possible, but with no practical way to measure one way or another. The other (DOES) is propounding more than just possibility, and requires proof from the Bible. This said, I don't think that it is possible anyway. Abraham is the 'father' of our faith, the first recipient of God's saving faith that we know of a certainty. His experience is unique, and not an example to be followed or sought after. While it may be possible to come to a saving relationship solely by reading the Bible (by the Holy Spirit), I don't think it is possible without the Word of God. Anybody preaching the Gospel would, by definition, be preaching the Word. IMHO. In Christ Jesus, charis |
