If a non-Christian tells you something about God ...

[angela 2]

Non-Christians can have experiences of God. Those experiences are intended to lead them to Jesus Christ. If the non-Christian comes to believe in Jesus Christ as he is attested in scripture on the basis of such experience, then it is true.

is it in the bible?
That's it, if they can find a reference in the bible for this statement, then i might consider it, i would most likely read it up first myself but. God bless.

Absolutely correct.

Not to mention I would do teh same if a Christian said it... or if I thought it, or however the idea came up I would use the bible as the ultimate authority to judge it against.

Peace

Doesn't scripture mention the depths of the riches of the Trinitarian God? I agree that true statements about God shouldn't contradict scripture. But also, what do you think? Is God bigger than the bible? Could something be true about God if it doesn't contradict what's written but is not in the bible?

Consider that the opening of Luke's gospel tells us that not everything Jesus did is written there. Could Jesus still be doing things that aren't written there?

Check it with the bible? In that case, things like "God is furious" is a 100% correct statement, no?

I'd just listen. Their revelation isn't my revelation. I tend to look for similarities.

If it's in the Bible, I'll believe it.

If the non-Christian is describing God accurately (according to the Bible) I'll believe it.
