There's no evidence He's changed those parameters or reopened the Canon for additions. There's certainly no need of it.

Speaking of evidence, there is none indicating any ongoing "prophets" in the Church. The so-called "prophets" of today has a less that biblical (100%) accuracy rate. Either that or they are so generic that they are useless from a practical standpoint.

You can't have it both ways. You can't say "tradition" has closed the Canon while arguing against the "tradition" that says prophets are no more.

I think you have a real hard time with the historical record.

I didn't say anything about TRADITION, BTW.

You seem to be the one wedded to traditions of men.

God closed the Canon. That's evident by the statements of Believers within 30-40 years of the events.

The Historical record as well as Scripture indicates quite clearly enough for the fairminded child, even, that prophetic inputs and other Corinthians 12-14 mentioned gifts were operating throughout the historical record and certainly in the early church post closing of the Canon and passing of the disciples etc.

I hope to get some of the sources posted in the next couple of weeks. But it's not really my responsibility to bail anyone out of willfully ignoring the historical record.
