What Language Does God Speak

It would seem so.

Remember this event at Penecost?

Acts 2:
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.
5 Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6 And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language.…
8" And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?
9 "Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,…
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,…
11 Cretans and Arabs-- we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God."…

The Trinity is not in the Bible, that's true. But some of us don't believe God is limited to speaking through the Bible.

Kind of like the Biblical Canon. I've yet to find that place in Scripture that outlines which books are divinely inspired and which ones aren't, almost as though which books are Scripture was something that came about by Church tradition.

Because it was and is.

Which is, frankly, the massive hole that sinks every "Bible-only" argument.*

*I'm aware that I'm a Lutheran and we're kind of known for being the Sola Scriptura folk. Sola Scripture, not "Bible-onlyism". Sola Scriptura is about establishing a definite rule of faith, wherein Scripture alone serves as norma normans (the norm that norms) and thus is, in a sense, the final court of appeal. What Sola Scriptura is not is the idea that all Christian teaching, practice, and ideas must be found explicitly within the texts of the Christian Canon of Scripture. I find it necessary to explain what Sola Scriptura is, as actually understood by the Reformers and used within the historic churches of the Reformation, as opposed to modern hyper-Protestant Bible-onlyist positions.
