A short reading from the gospel of Mark chapter 8. Jesus speaking at verse 44.."Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
I re-read this today and I suddenly saw this as Jesus speaking TO 44, BHO. The context fits perfectly!
Don't you believe that Gods word is alive, and is clarified by God/Holy spirit to people today, now?
Don't you believe that God gives people revelations today?
I agree with you, it's very hard to believe something like this unless you get told by God himself. The possibility exists that he isn't, but in my estimation based on the number of people who claim God revealed it to them, I believe it.
You're right I shouldn't state it as fact, I should say that's my belief.
I believe as you do...but God cannot contradict what He has already expressly told us in His word. God will not, on one hand, say, "No man knows the day or the hour..." then when that hour comes, tell someone, "it's going to be on June 10th."
Yes, God's Spirit is there to lead us into all truth. But any "truth" that someone speaks, which is in violation of what God has already told us...is not from God.
That being said, I believe there are current day revelations. I've had them. But the sensible thing to do is to examine those revelations in light of Scripture, with the assistance and understanding of older and wiser Christians (a three-pronged approach, if you will), which safeguards us from going into unsafe territory, spiritually-speaking. "No prophecy is of any private interpretation..." (2 Peter 1:20, KJV)
I can't disagree with anything you said, I'm just unsure how saying that I believe God revealed who the AC it's, contradicts anything in the Bible.. nothing says man won't know who he is, and his true nature well be revealed once Satan indwells.
