Led By Whom?
Some claim
that the Holy Spirit is still speaking to them in a direct, miraculous way IN
ADDITION TO what He recorded in the Bible. However, the Holy Spirit Himself
tells us that His revelation, the New Testament of Jesus Christ, is
"perfect", "complete", and "final" (See Jas.
1:25; 2 Tim. 3:16·17; Jude 3). The New Testament is the Word we must live by
because it is the Word we will be judged by (Jas. 2:12; Jno. 12:48). It is the
'ONLY way God speaks to men today.
It would be
interesting to know just what the Holy Spirit would say to these men that He
has not already said in the Bible. If He said the same thing as the Bible, it
would not be necessary, and if He said something different, one would be
"accursed" if he taught it (Gal. 1:8·9).
Please
consider these obvious facts: FIRST, the Holy Spirit would not teach a doctrine
that denied what He already said in the Bible. Yet, all who claim direct
guidance today teach doctrines which conflict with the Bible. SECOND, the Holy
Spirit would not teach conflicting doctrines. Yet, such as claim direct
guidance (Mormons, Catholics, Pentecostals, etc.) teach opposing and conflicting
doctrines. Who can believe that the Holy Spirit is the author of such chaos?
CONCLUSION: Men who claim miraculous guidance today are frauds who teach THEIR
OWN doctrines instead of God's. Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but my words shall NOT pass away." Read your Bible and do what it
says. It'll make your perfect and throughly furnished (2 Tim. 3:16·17).
