What about the angel appearing to Joseph in a dream telling them to flee Herod?

What about it ? It is a biblical event, documented in the Bible. If 2 Tim 3:16-17 is true, then there is no need for God to speak to us in dreams because he has already given us everything we need. OTOH, if God speaks to us in dreams, then that scripture is not true. If that scripture is not true, then what others are not true ? See, once you open the door for extra-biblical revelations, then anything goes.

Twisting Scripture to one's individual notions of what would make the individual feel more comfortable with a tidy little box construction on reality

does

NOT

negate

SCRIPTURE

AT ALL.

BTW, I think this is a disingenuous postulation.

You don't live that way--devoid of Holy Spirit's input, yourself.

You have had Biblical verses jump off the page as being VERY POINTEDLY PERTINENT TO A SITUATION YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING ABOUT AS HOLY SPIRIT HAS PUT A KIND OF EXISTENTIAL HIGHLIGHT ON THE VERSE IN YOUR READINGS OR MEDITATIONS.

You have also prayed for guidance on important matters.

Please only reply to the TP THREAT POTENTIAL thread.

USNDAD: See, once you open the door for extra-biblical revelations, then anything goes.

QX: NOT AT ALL! I Cor 14:29 gives us an excellent pattern for handling such matters. The local Body of Christ judges. Certainly part of that judgment is how well does a given prophetic input match up with the whole counsel of God in Scripture.

But Scripture is not likely to say in Psalms 119:20 whether to move to a new house; take a particular wife; home school the kids; become a missionary; change occupations; RUN out of the WTC IMMEDIATELY; . . . etc.

And, JESUS SAID: MY SHEEP KNOW MY VOICE.

Which COULD LOGICALLY BE CONSTRUED TO INDICATE that if one doesn't KNOW and isn't at least IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING HOW to hear and obey HIS VOICE,

then perhaps that one is not HIS SHEEP.
