Innocent Bystander said:
If God were to come to you in a dream and tell you that he had fallen out with Jesus, would you stop your worship of either of them?
Obviously there are instances in the Bible where followers had to make decisions with no precedent from the Holy Book (It hadn't been written yet!).
So what would you do (hypothetically of course)?
Hypothetically? -
If god were to come to me in a dream and tell me he'd fallen out with Jesus, I'd tell him to get lost in the name of Jesus. For this wouldn't be the God of the Bible. Then I would continue to worship both the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. God doesn't have fallouts with Himself. He has never shown Himself this way at any time in history. If He had come to people like that in the past they would have known it was not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How can God fall out with himself? Absurd!
How God came to people in the past is what we are to study and learn so we can get to know Him. Our God never changes, He is not like a man that He should lie. The Bible is God's message to man, His communication with us. Jesus came to show us what the Father is like, and the Father shows us in the Bible that He is a constant. He does not chop and change, nor love us one minute and cast us off the next.
Each communication God has with man is built on top of the last communication. (And His communications were always written, He made sure of that) The last communication has to agree with the first one given. And when God spoke with Adam, or Noah, or Job, or Moses, He spoke to them personally in such a way that there was no doubt Who was doing the speaking (and they wrote it down). The only decision they had to make was whether to believe Him or not. God speaks to us, now, through the Holy Spirit and His Word, the Bible. What you hear in your ear must line up with what you read in His Word. If what you hear doesn't line up, then you are listening to the wrong voice.
(Joh 10:25) Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me.
(Joh 10:26) "But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep.
(Joh 10:27) "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;
(Joh 10:28) and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
(Joh 10:29) "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
(Joh 10:30) "I and the Father are one."
