Great rant, Dave! I too am sick to death of the "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" line.

I agree. That is one of the most overused lines in this sort of debate. What bothers me most about it, is that it demands acceptance that their is actually a baby in the dirty bathwater.

Straw, when God says "here ye Him" concerning Christ, what is it that we need to hear from Christ beyond what has been recorded in His word? If I want to know what God thinks about something I have a "more sure word of prophecy" (2 Peter 1:19) and the truth "once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). When we "hear" God, it is the Spirit bearing witness with our spirits that the WORD is true (Rom 8:16, Heb 10:15), not some private personal revelation that goes beyond what is written.
