So Justin, you are implying that God is dumb? He missed mentioning things we needed to know? You are implying that the Holy Spirit will teach us more then what is in scripture?Justin Mangonel said:However, we have been given the Spirit of truth who can lead and guide us into all truth if we will listen. Some people want to corral God's people with doctrine and make them stay within the confines of whatever truth they have decided is right. However, I think the shepherding of God's sheep is best left up to God Himself. The offices of the church are transitory and ultimately we all have to stand before God and allow Him to lead us directly.
Those who are fearful say that chaos will ensue if we actually allow people to be led by the Spirit. However, is that any worse than the hypocrisy that exists in our congregations today? Is disobedience better because it is hidden? At least, if everyone is allowed and even encouraged to either follow or not follow the Holy Spirit the sin which is hidden will be made manifest.
The bottom line is that those who freak out about God being more than is contained within the Bible simply do not trust God to lead His people. However, if not Him then who?
Sorry, God is not dumb and the Holy Spirit / God and Jesus will never go against scripture nor add to it. If you are having any experience that add's to it or goes against it, I suggest you check the source (emotions or demons) or pray for the Holy Spirit to prove it to you in scripture before you continue in whatever it is you are.
Did you miss the last verse in the bible?
