You may choose to ignore the seriousness of the doctrine you now embrace but that isn't going to make it any less fallacious. Either one believes that the Bible is THE sole and finally authority in all matters of faith and practice, or one believes that the Bible is A source of authority in addition to: direct revelation from God, a human source, e.g., the pope, Joseph Smith, The Watchtower, Buddha, et al. I would encourage you to read the following article at your earliest convenience:
The Bible is written by men inspired by God.
It is the Word of God and throughout my life it has guided my life kept me out of more trouble than I could handle. It made sure that I never lost sight of the fact that I am a sinner and I made me know who I need to turn to for my, deliverance from sin, help, explanations, etc. Now you provide for me a copy of a quotation from me in which I stated that men like the pope etal and any human source takes president over the Bible, or for that matter, where did I say that a human source can provide a revelation equal to that of the Bible???

In fact as much as you do not seem interested in what I have said by the way in which you have not noticed that the recurring theme in most of my posts is that God and God alone is the source of our Salvation and not even theology can equate or replace His Will for us. Theology is based on human understanding and the fact that we cannot earn Salvation though it is recited over and over it is not understood. I say that a person can be drawn to God by God Himself as supported by John 6:44, 65 and you say that the only way that this can happen is by the preaching of the Gospel and reading of the Bible. All I am saying is that God choses to draw whomever, wherever, whenever and nothing we say can change this.

By saying that I believe that God can draw us directly by speaking to us directly or impressing upon us that we are sinners in need of His forgiveness, that for saying this you equate me to someone who supports an idea that can give credence to the establishment of man inpired and false god inspired religion(False god because you could not possible be saying that if the real True God speaks now it is less important than the Bible)???

Furthermore I also said that such revelations would have to be confirmed by a Bible text. I never said that this revelation should stand on it's on or that it is to overshadow the Bible. I suggested that we agree to disagree on this matter owing to the fact that it seems impossible for us to get past theological precepts. Whereas "that which is perfect" is now believed to be the Word of God by most theological camps, however perfect is applied to God Deut 32:4, 2 Samuel 22:31, Psalm 18:30, so I believe that "That which is perfect" in 1 Corinthians 13:10 describes the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. Is Christ not Perfect? Is He not coming again? Will not His coming put all theories and Partial understanding to rest?
