and Father we pray that we will not be taken in by delusions and evil masquerading as truth, realizing that the only Truth is Your Word. Amen and Amen.

"that the only Truth is Your Word"

is at best significantly misleading. SCRIPTURE ITSELF proves that statement untrue--for example--when it notes that The Heavens declare God's handiwork.

The above statement would have us believe that God lied in the heavens but not in the printed text. Or perhaps God lied when He made a majestic flower but not in His printed Word.

Bibliolitry is no excuse for lacking or being lazy or in denial about the need for discernment whether one is listening to a sermon in the most orthodox, straight-laced, UNemotional Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod congregation or in an African American Pentecostal congregation's service.

The Living Word cannot be contained EVEN WITHIN HIS OWN finite printed text. And He insists that HIS SHEEP KNOW HIS

!!!!!!!VOICE!!!!!!!

I don't think that when we stand before Him, He'll be impressed with the excuse that we preferred to cotton and worn out Bible pages in our spiritual ears so we could not hear His VOICE . . .

and thereby be accountable to a daily, moment by moment dialogue with

GOD ALMIGHTY.

The printed text is a lot easier to slice and dice than God Almighty's voice booming within you:

"Noah, how long can you tread water?"

The printed text is a lot easier to manipulate and play pharisaical games with than God's insistent still small voice within us:

"I'm waiting. Let me know when you are willing to obey me, quit your job and go serve me in Iran."

or

"No! that woman is not my choice for you. Abandon the relationship. NOW!

'Tis much, much MUCH more convenient to the games people play to pretend on a stack of well chosen proof texts that God doesn't speak to man in our era.

Sheesh.

Sigh.

As far as Nostradamus in any of the translations and interpretations . . . It's a hazard, imho, for believers to dabble in anyone who more than dabbled in the evidently satanic driven occult.

We hear His voice by reading His Word as well and learn to recognize it. You have made my statement much more specific than it was intended. And I already criticized reading Nostradamus...why are you doing it again?
