It seems like you are confusing a couple of things. First, the command in Revelation states specifically it is for that book (the Scriptures as we have them were not complied when Revelation was written). Second, we are to test these things against Scripture. No one is saying additional...

You know it is strange how our world has changed. When I was young it seems most people accepted Scripture to an extent. We used EE and the Romans Road when I was a teenager going home to home speaking with people. But now most people outside of the church do not accept Scripture at all. They...

Exactly. Acts 17:16-34 proves this. Paul reasoned at the synagogue. But in his sermon on Mars Hill Paul reasoned to the pagan audience in their own context. He did not argue against their idolatry but reasoned that God is the Unknown God they worship in ignorance and God cannot be contained...

I've been checking my plants daily (only a few tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers). I always think, why do I plant these things when the are fresh produce all over the place here? I am not a very patient person, I suppose. I always want to at least see those buds starting to bloom. But I suppose...

I guess it could be. I am just not sure what he means. It sounds to me like his posts are saying God does not work except through Scripture BUT I do not believe that is actually what he is saying (or believes) based on other comments. I think that some (myself included) may be...

I agree. The "anti" part is normally wrong and often reactionary. We are not our intellect or our emotions, but we are both.

@Anthony D'Arienzo , I think the issue most are objecting to is that your posts seem to suggest God does not speak (or communicate) to Christians except that communication be Scripture itself. I am not sure that this is what you mean. When asked a question about your beliefs you have a habit...

Hi Marksman, I agree with you about man inviting Christ into their heart (although at the same time I know many use this phrase meaning repentance and belief, but I do not like the term... I believe it came from Revelation 3:20 but is a misappropriation of the passage). I have to see the...

I am not sure I can explain, but I will try. I grew up knowing the gospel message (I grew up in a Christian home). One day God spoke to me (internally, a spiritual thing). I realized God's love and was saved. Another example - I worked at a hospital when I was in my 20's. I knew a lady on...

What I mean is that God still works and speaks. Not to diminish Scripture at all. But not to diminish the work of God in the lives of His people either. They go together.

I think that we all process things differently. God is a God of means, which includes us as His means. For me, I have experienced quite a lot from God communicated in a spiritual way (in a way that I cannot rightfully explain, I guess in a way that is felt rather than articulated). I've...

There seems to be a movement (has been for awhile) towards Christian intellectualism. A person reads the Bible and when he determines the Bible is true then he is considered a Christian. Spiritual maturity becomes the acceptance of different Scriptures into a theological construct. Can a...

Yes. I hear God, voices in my head and heart (mind and spirit). You have never heard the voice of God? I understand if backslidden, but never? The flesh cannot grasp that which is spiritual. I bet you hate that song In The Garden. You probably cannot see how it is biblical... Lol

God's call to Samuel was audible to Samuel. Eli did not hear the voice. Your assumption about the voice bring able to be recorded on tape recorder is legalistic and misses the spiritual truth of these matters entirely.

I believe 2 Timothy 3 speaks to the overall issue here (not applying to anyone directly but to our world and perhaps even the Christian environment in general). We live in a time when people, even in the church, are proud, headstrong, boaters, haughty, unloving, unforgiving, brutal...

Do you believe that the Spirit communicates to people? I mean, more than just making them believe Scripture?

So God left the conversation???? It was my pm and I was done. So I left. Nothing else to say or hear. Are you talking about any kind of revelation (like God revealing to a missionary a course of action) or revelation about God in addition to Scripture (like God the Father was once a man)?

The irony is that the belief that revelation has been sealed is itself a post Revelation revelation, if true. o_O

Do you mean revelation or Revelation? The warning in the book of Revelation applied to that book. I'm just not sure I am following your logic. When is this seal?
