I re-read the article from this site "Does God Speak Today Apart from the Bible?" by R. Fowler White. I'm wondering if you can give me any more insight, specifically from Scripture if possible, on this issue. I'm specifically wondering about the issue of those who say they have heard something from God - this is either in words that maybe someone will then write down in their journal or one who will say they just know it was Jesus or God speaking to them about something that they needed to hear or go do.

I know there was a recent thread somewhere and the question was rightly asked of how does one really know the things he/she thinks they hear is from God. And I agree that that's a good question. But I'm trying to "combat" the idea of someone saying it's ok to "hear" something from God as long as it squares with Scripture. I had recently gotten into a discussion with someone about this issue. I was trying to make the case that the Bible alone is sufficient; but it wasn't getting through to the other person (and maybe it just won't). THe person argued back at me that I'm putting God in a box and also said that God can do anything He wants to communicate with us. Are there any other articles here or threads or books on this issue - that God doesn't have to speak to us today and that the Bible is sufficient?
