    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    No I did not admit believers needed spiritual discernment of the things of God. That is not what I said. You have twisted my words, just as you twist Paul's word. I said believers have "Spiritual discernment that the things the apostles spoke are true" - something completely different. You have...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    Wrong. The KJV is not "the" Bible. It is a poor translation by today's standards. Not only does it use antiquated Elizabethan English, a language that is completely different from today's, but it was based on Erasmus's 15th century Greek Textus Receptus which has a lot of corruptions in the...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    You are lying again. I have always acknowledged that Gill (and some other commentators) say that the anointing in 1 John 2:27 is the Holy Spirit. However you clipped out the bit where he says the Spirit teaches by the ministry of God's word and believers have no need of any separate revelation -...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    No, there's no confusion. It is plain for all to see what you did. You mischievously changed my words to make it appear I said something different. I said "Believers have spiritual discernment that the things the apostles spoke are true". You changed what I said to say beleivers have Spiritual...

    Why would he pray for them to have something if they all already had it? Paul never prayed for them to "grow" or have "more" revelation. You are reading your own words into scripture again. And 2 Peter 3:18 wasn't a prayer to grow in grace, it was an exhortation. I have refuted your...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    Yes, you did. Your whole argument throughout this thread has been that the "we" in 1 Cor 2:13 is all believers who are taught by the Spirit. If you are now saying it is Paul and Sosthenes then you have just refuted your own argument, and shot yourself in the foot.

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    You keep trying to twist Gill's words by taking them out of context to try to make them say something different, just as you do with scripture. He does not say they are new revelations. Read what he says in full... But God hath revealed them unto us,.... Should it be said, that since this...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    I see how you twisted my words by cutting my sentence in half to make it seem I said something different.....exactly as you do with scripture. This is what I asked..... But show me one commentator, just one, who says any of those verses in 1 Cor 2 is referring to God giving us new revelations...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    That is not a commentary on verse 13! I corrected you misunderstanding of the word "also" in v13 here. How many times must I keep saying that. Instead of repeating your error, go and read my correction, then comment on it if you think I'm wrong. That is not Gill's commentary of 1 John 2:27...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    No it is not a continual revelation that all believers have. Read the verse again carefully. Paul prays that God may give them the Spirit of revelation. They obviously didn't have that revelation, otherwise Paul wouldn't be praying for it! This kind of revelation was only piecemeal, given by God...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    I did not say that. You quoted what I said, but you then nefariously changed my words to something different - just as you do with Paul's words. I said "Spiritual discernment that the things the apostles spoke are true". You changed what I said to match a verse in scripture that was referring to...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    If the "we" was Paul and Sosthenes, then you have just shot yourself in the foot. You said the "we" in v13 was all believers! But why on earth would it be Sosthenes? Sosthenes did not accompany Paul in his missionary journey to Corinth. Only Paul preached God's wisdom to the Corinthians (the...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    Makes no difference. It is still something he only subjectively thinks he knows. That's not what the verse says.... "If anyone thinks that he knows something, " An impression or an intuition (gut-feeling) would fall into that category. No, it is a general principle that applies to all...

    I said no such thing. You put words into my mouth, as well as Paul's. Where did I say the Spirit would teach believers about all things?

    The clue to the meaning of this verse is given at the end of the verse itself... Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: So yes, the Holy Spirit giving an insight into the one true...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    I never said it does. I asked for verses that say God gives new revelations to believers by impressions or the like, telling them to do things etc, and you gave me 1 Cor 2:13. We now know you were wrong, and not a single commentator agrees with you. But if there are other verses that say as you...

    the People who say "God told me, God spoke to me" extra biblical revelation

    No, I did not mean the whole chapter. I made a typing mistake and I corrected my error, not you. Why would I say the whole chapter when the specific subject of my paragraph was verse 13 only? You made the error of thinking the "us" in that verse is all believers, and I corrected your error along...

    We've already discussed whether the absence of the 'word' Trinity means we can go beyond what is written and invent new doctrines that are not in scripture. Go back and read. They had the audible voice of God, and God's moral law written on their hearts and their conscience informing them of...
