I am called upon to judge righteous judgment - that is discernment rooted in God's Law-Word. I am called to test the spirits. Judged by Scripture
Great I am sure without a doubt that you will be able to identify the Anti-Christ.
As you well know Scripture is subject to interpetation one of the biggest dilemmas for Jews and Christians in reading the Tanakh as well as the Gospels..
I am sure you know scripture has been re-written. ALthough I beleive in Jesus's Gospel I do understand things might not be accurate that is why Meditation and prayer to Jesus gives you answers when you become un-sure of scripture.
The 1 Epistle of John already identifies those who are antichrist (Scripture never teaches that there was or is to come a single man known as the antichrist).
Scripture and its accuracy are well attested. No doctrine or truth has been lost in the translation from Hebrew or Greek into any other language. Nor is any teaching of Jesus changed significantly by speculation that he spoke Aramaic. Indeed - Jesus may just as easily have spoken Greek. Nonetheless, as B.B. Warfield said we know we are handling the Word of God either in the text or the footnotes. Between primary and variant readings we know we possess God's Word.
Christians have a sure Word from God in Scripture. There is no need for the radical subjectivism you advocate. You ascribe differing interpretations to corruptions of the written texts. Would dueling dreams or feelings offer any additional certainty?
What if your meditation and my prayer find us with two contradictory beliefs. For instance - you defend Hinn as a proponent of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I find Hinn to be the enemy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our final rule of faith and practice is Scripture - not our subjective feelings and fancies.
