Christian faith cannot accept "revelations" that claim to surpass or correct the Revelation of which Christ is the fulfillment, as is the case in certain nonChristian religions and also in certain recent sects which base themselves on such "revelations".

"When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." - Deuteronomy 18:22

This may be a first for us, NL, I agree with you! One caveat to the warning the Lord gave in Deuteronomy about false prophets, he also said:

But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death. (Deut. 18:20)

"This may be a first for us, NL, I agree with you!"

Actually, we both agree with God. Finding the truth or a truth is the reason I participate in these threads these days.
