Let me ask you something: If Scripture is not necessary, and God’s word can be revealed in many, many ways, including prayers, hymns, television programs, etc., where do you go to prove that what you are hearing is God’s Word of Truth? We are told to search the scriptures daily to see if those things are so. We are to compare scripture with scripture to determine whether we are being taught false doctrine. Do you just accept that if Christ’s name is mentioned in the prayer it MUST be from God? Or if the teacher mentions the gospel, it is the gospel that you know and believe? The only way to KNOW these things is in God’s Word, the Bible. A burning in the bosom doesn’t confirm a single thing. God has revealed Himself to us through His Word. And in order NOT to be swept around by every wind of false doctrine, we MUST read what His word says. Just because it sounds lovely doesn’t mean it’s truth. Truth CAN be absolutely KNOWN. Not just hoped for.

I stopped reading after this.....if Scripture is not necessary.

I NOWHERE and NO HOW ever said such a thing.

More jumping to a conclusion that comes from a predetermined mindset and not from actually reading and contemplating what was actually written.
