    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    Excellent points. I guess it is their idea of humility, by humbling themselves into the morass of Scripture to rescue us unspiritual morons. LOL

    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    I see, I thought that you quoted me saying this... But that was actually your response. No personal offense but I find on this forum, the separation between what one quotes and what one says is very faint. It seems there needs to be a clearer line of demarcation between the two and that is what...

    I agree with all that. By new revelation, I meant additional Scripture. In that sense I don't believe in new/additional revelation. :)

    I believe you quoted someone else. Could you please give me the post # where I said what you quoted me saying? I pretty much agreed with you in the fact God is not finished with us yet. Why all this cross examination?

    I agree. The Holy Spirit will take His Word and confirm it to our understanding. He will not contradict His own Word. And He is not adding new revelation about Himself.

    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    No, it ends with God being glorified, not me. John 3:30 is John testifying to the fact that our dependency is to grow increasingly upon Him and less upon ourselves. What made you ask your 1st question?

    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    I am not mocking you. I just don't have a clue what you are talking about. All I know is that you are taking this thread off the topic and on to personal stuff. Are you able to talk about the topic in the OP without getting into personal jabs? Your first personal jab started on post 12 your...

    I see, you are just talking off the cuff, without substance of your charges, hoping something sticks. Did God make pink Leprechauns? I suppose you would make a case for that too?

    The Law? Whaa? How did that topic enter? Apples and turnips.

    Obviously you do care, otherwise you wouldn't have responded. lol

    Can You Defeat the Spirit Within Me

    I only read two pages of this and couldn't bear it any longer. It was like a 'troll down memory pane'.

    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    I didn't say it was better, I said it wasn't personal. Personal attacks are not nice, but I can't help it if someone takes offense at a general statement not aimed at them. If I said 'most theological liberals are heretics' and someone interjects themselves into that statement and takes...

    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    No one is talking about the milk of the Word. Do you consider Revelation 6 the milk of the Word? Do you have a full grasp on it? This view of putting away childish things, having it refer to God's Word is poor hermeneutics as Paul is not referring to God's Word but our maturity. You cited (1Co...

    Last time, I did not direct my statement to any specific individual, just a group...hence, not personal. Ping pong is over for me.

    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    What change? Where God writes His nature on our hearts? I'm not opposed to that since it has happened to me, but I still find that God's written Word is essential.

    Do you understand the difference between an attack and a personal attack? (Hint: I'll attack the fraudulent theology of a person, but I won't insult them personally.) But if you want to turn this thread into a personal ping pong match I am not interested.

    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    The discussion isn't about a literal vs a metaphorical (aka spiritual) approach to Scripture, but rather do you reach a point in your growth where God's Word is no longer needed in it's written form? Think Ps 119, where every 8th verse starts with a Hebrew letter and the whole Psalm revolves...

    Yes, I've heard him say that with his wily explanation. It would be much better for the Scriptures to define Jesus rather than Andy Stanley, yet he pastors one of the largest Churches in the United States. It clearly shows what a mess 'Christen-dumb' is in, here in America.
