Re: The Living God speaks to His children directly.
No one has suggested placing the Bible above Christ and definitely not replace Him. Just saying that when a person says something is from God the bible is the test for it. As well as John saying there would be no new revelation. Does this mean God does not speak to us individually, of course not. But there will be nothing new revealed about himself that is not already in the bible. Sorry it is what the book says, weather we like it or not.
You have promoted Bill Johnson's church
"one of the most Spirit filled churches in the country" while saying in recent posts you do not agree with everything he says. So once again the man that you think is the pastor of one of the most spirit filled churches denies the Deity of Christ, His Church promotes the practices of necromancy and divination (witchcraft), while his wife promotes the use of new age concepts as Christianity.
and this is just a few things that can't be disputed.
So I question your discernment when a man whose church that he pastors endorses necromancy, and you say it is a spirit filled church. I agree it is, but with what kind of spirits?
This is why we need the Bible. To test these things.
I am sure Hitler probably said something good in his life. I would not quote anything from him because he was a monster.
Same with Bill Johnson.
