And, as has been said, the person with an experience is rarely if ever at the mercy of one with merely an argument

That's what Mormons say, though at least you qualify it a bit more. Did you know that too?

The Biblical Christian has a very different position.

I never said the Mormons were 100% idiots.

I find your construction of "Biblical Christianty" to be very Biblically lacking.

Biblical Christianity yearns to hear God speak; however, it affirms that He speaks today only in Scripture (cf. Hebrews 1:1, 2; 2:1-4; 3:7).

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING! You are using those verses to support that assertion? I think we have a very different dictionary and I have no idea, not the first clue how your "logic" works.

SPOKEN TO US BY HIS SON HEB 1:1--AS IN MY SHEEP KNOW MY ****VOICE**** AS IN VOICE--AS IN EARS TO HEAR!!! sigh.

Heb 2:1-4 I like the heading notation: "Warning to Pay Attention" "We must pay more careful attention, therefore wo what we have HEARD, [emphasis added!]so that we do not drift away. 'for if the message SPOKEN by the angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a GREAT SALVATION? This Sal ation which was first ANNOUNCED by The Lord, was confirmed to us by those who

HEARD Him. God also testified to it by SIGNS, WONDERS and VARIOUS MIRACLES AND GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRITDISTRIBUTING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL.

Awwwww shucks--not according to my constipated theology?

Heb 3:7:

Today, if you

HEAR His VOICE, do not harden your HEARTS as you did in the rebellion . . .

YUP, sounds like GOD WANTS US TO WALK SO HAND IN HAND WITH HIM, SO SENSITIVE TO HIS SPIRIT AND HIS VOICE that we are like a well trained horse responding quickly and obediently to every subtle movement of the rider's body, finger, tone of VOICE.

In another place you assert that The Bible alone--as you say it:

Bible reveals everything a believer needs to know as a Christian, in order to fear, love, serve, and please God

I suppose I could agree in a sense and to a point. The Bible LEADS ME TO HAVE A SENSITIVE-TO-HIS-VOICE WALK WITH GOD AND THEREIN I learn all else I need to know.

If I'm torn between marrying two women. And I have a hard time knowing from reading The Bible which one is best for me--they still appear equal and I Love both of them seemingly equally. . . Ahhhh Ha, I can TALK TO GOD AND LISTENT O HIS VOICE! Certainly HE KNOWS WHICH ONE IS BEST FOR ME! He can tell me. He says Ask, Knock, Seek! Not as acts of futility but as a dynamic dialogue, dance with Almighty God. Song of Solomon comes to mind. How exciting.

Of course if you prefer to dance silently and deafly with a printed page, be my guest.
