Now if by revelation you mean the Bible--which is all there is and all there's going to be--then yeah. I know little old ladies who might have a high school diploma who wear the covers off their bibles on a regular basis who walk with the Lord day by day in a way that most of us can't really grasp.

Otherwise I'm a little concerned about that term revelation Joe. Its been waved about way too often by charismatic groups who tout experience over the study of the Word of God and thereby exalt it over everything else.

THis is not what i mean. May I suggest you do a concordance/lexigon study of the word REVEAL in scripture. Then you shall understand what I mean.

apokalupto {ap-ok-al-oop'-to}


1) to uncover, lay open what has been veiled or covered up

a) disclose, make bare

2) to make known, make manifest, disclose what before was unknown

Which comes directly from God (revelation) and not by education.(Study, books, intelligence)


This comes from God. I agree that some translations are terrible. But I believe the translations we have today are inspired. If one claims that only the original copies are inspired, then noone has ever read the truth. If only those who know 1st century Koine greek, which may be 1% of the worlds population, what are we left with?


There never was a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
