Behold, post #62: quintessential, textbook, self-condemning Charismaticism: using out-of-context misapplications of Scripture to denigrate Scripture and exalt experience. (My favorite has to be your citing, clearly blissfully and wholly unaware, the writer to the Hebrews saying to hear God's voice, and then quoting Old Testament Scripture as being that living voice!)

Now, a simple task:

1. Lay all of Scripture aside, and tell me all you know certainly of the distinctive person and works of God, the person and work of Christ, and of God's specific will for all men, women, and children everywhere.
2. Lay all of Scripture aside, and tell us what Charismatics have added to our knowledge of God's person, works and ways in the last century.

Just that. Would you do that for us, please?

You COULD approach being funny.

But I suspect starchy, fossilized, sterile addiction to THE LAW prevents full blown being funny.

I think I'll let you rumminate in your own shrinking box. . . and pray that God blows the sides out sooner than later.

If one of my cohorts wishes to comply with your request, they would have my blessing. I know in my heart and spirit the solidness of my Biblical foundation. I know in my heart and spirit the vibrancy of my walk with God and the focus on Him my listening for His voice entails.

I have used the Bible as a teddy bear even in college. I have enormous respect for The Word. Perhaps that's one reason I tire so quickly of sharing treasured Scriptures with you. You appear to have no ears to hear what God might try to TELL you, SPEAK TO YOU about those Scriptures. And if God won't break through that brick wall, who am I to try so hard.
