For those who don't believe in prophets today....explain this

[Willie T]

Harmanuetics has been a long accepted rule that everything in the Bible must harmonize with everything else in the Bible.

Otherwise you have what I call shopping cart theology, a favorite of non-literalists. Take what you want from the Bible, make it say what you want and ignore the rest.

So yes, it is stated specifically for the book of Revelation, but I see no reason it does not harmonize with the rest of the Bible.

As well, well before the fifth century, the true Church had already accepted the books of the Bible we use today and rejected all the rest.

So-called church fathers, meaning the founders of the Catholic Church, recognized This reality but still added the books of the Apocrypha and some others.

So calling this argument moot, to me, is a nonstarter.

What is " Harmanuetics "? LOL

What is biblical hermeneutics?

 

[Willie T]

What is biblical hermeneutics?

But I asked about what you were discussing, harmanuetics.

Just that "hypocrite" in the bible denotes something far worse than film stars making a living.

And "acting" with the connotation presented of "hypocrite" denotes something far worse than "acting" as concerning the way a person behaves...whether that behaviour is consistent with their character or a front.

Luck thing for many "prophets" today.

Really, lucky for the false ones.

The true ones would probably not even be affected by such a law.

(and whatever the original point was, from which we have digressed, I have completely forgotten at this point).

Are you being judgmental?

I think he is giving you the benefit of the doubt.

 

[CoreIssue]

But I asked about what you were discussing, harmanuetics.

And I answered you.

From Genesis to revelations there is no contradiction.

Therefore, it is not wrong to add anything in one place but okay to do so elsewhere.

In different context in different words that is said more than once in the Bible.

It all fits together. Every piece builds on the whole.

So are you endorsing his judging me?

Did you ever consider the Pharisees also had "oral" enhancements to the scriptures that Jesus also condemned?

 

[justbyfaith]

I don't think he was judging you at all...just your behaviour (funny how that ties in...).

 

[Dave L]

I don't think he was judging you at all...just your behaviour (funny how that ties in...).

So you are judging me saying I'm off in my assessment?

 

[justbyfaith]

Did you ever consider the Pharisees also had "oral" enhancements to the scriptures that Jesus also condemned?

I believe that sound biblical teaching would tell us that that is the case.

Is there a point?

 

[justbyfaith]

So you are judging me saying I'm off in my assessment?

What assessment?

 

[Willie T]

So are you endorsing his judging me?

So, you have gone from "asking" me, to deciding I was? All without me answering anything at all?

 

[Dave L]

Jesus condemned the Pharisees for doing what many today continue doing. Replacing scripture with their own ideas vocally.

If we do not judge each other, this ill fated conversation will drop.

 

[Dave L]

What assessment?

Let's drop it before we waste any more bandwidth.

I believe that when a prophetic word, word of wisdom, word of knowledge, etc. does not contradict any revelation of the inspired canon, it can be accepted as of the Lord; though it is also to be judged by any other prophets present in the meeting (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21, 1 Corinthians 14:29-32).

@Dave L,

I don't think that you have to walk on eggshells at this website like at other ones. You can say in the form of a statement what you seem to feel has to be put in the form of a question, because of the fact that at other websites there are severe punishments for saying things in any way that seem to be straightforward or as a rebuke.

I believe that there is liberty here (2 Corinthians 3:17).

If it doesn't contradict the word, it still can lead astray. But I've been on both sides of the fence and Scripture is a sure word of prophecy that out guns voices in the head any day.
