So if you are studying how scripture was interpreted by scholars in the past without discerning the seasons and the times in which we live today in coorelation with scripture -- you are doing yourself a dis-service to being a modern day BEREAN. Honestly, when discussing prophecy one should never be dogmatic. It's amazing how fast pride will rear it's ugly head whenever talking about issues that are TRULY debateable!

I'd be interested in reading the evidence you've put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. that was a time when God WAS revealing new truth, and yet these men still carefully searched the scriptures I'm not charismatic but I don't judge those people because they have in common the fellowship of God. I agree we need more people making claims what is truth. You misunderstood what I meant I think. Let me explain since you seem to have alot of knowledge. The Lord guides people through trials and daily life according to walk in faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one ofyour posts to followerofjesus and I don't know how I came to miss it, not to get too far off topic, but while Spirit motivated discernment of the scriptures is Biblical, "personal revelation", in addition to the scriptures, is a construct of the charismatic movement: anyone can claim anything these days concerning "what God told me" we need more noble Bereans in 2007, and less people making claims outside what the scripture reveals Acts 17 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. that was a time when God WAS revealing new truth, and yet these men still carefully searched the scriptures Do you mean to say that there was a time when God was not revealing new truth. When was that? That seems like making claims *outside what the scripture reveals* as you put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
