    God doesn’t send pastors into remote villages in Chile. He sends, wait for it, Apostles.

    And then when a church forms through the Gospel being preached, apostles raise up pastors and then they go off to the next village. Still happens today. It’s happening right now, even without some of y’all’s permission.

    God ceased to speak to us any additional revelations once canon was closed with death of Apostle John!

    So missionaries like Hudson Taylor and Jonathan Livingstone were Apostles, by your definition. They weren't evangelists or teachers...they were apostles. Is that correct?

    What doctrine about God and about humanity do you derive from this passage in Isaiah 40?

    I actually do not mind if we define Missionaries as modern day Apostles, as they are not claiming additional and new divine revelations from God!

    You have no scripture to prove or even suggest that.

    Are you aware of the view that all Holy Scripture is the revelation of Jesus Christ (Luke 24:44, Revelation 19:10)? And that that last book, being called the Revelation of Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:1-3) is being understood as the close of all written and spoken revelation (Revelation 22:18, ". . . heareth the words of the prophecy of this book . . . .") It being the close of the Bible.

    The book of the Revelation was the last time God spoke to us concerning theology and doctrines!

    When one adapts an ongoing revelation model, then all sorts of heresies can be allowed into church, see Sda, word of faith, Charismatic chaos etc!

    The canon was closed before John died. Else it is still open, because some understand Jesus as saying that John would not die, until a future time. No one has proof of John's death. There are some occasions where they could NOT kill him. He outlived most just like Moses did. No one ever recorded a true account of John's history, that most are aware of.

    None, I keep telling you that. What is the point in attempting any such thing?

    No one sees the truth of Scripture. Not even those who declare it from God. They declare what the truth will be and is; as it can bypass Satan's deception. Satan's deception does not void any Scriptural truth. It does not change the meaning of Truth. Private interpretation of Scripture does that job just fine and dandy, and Satan does not need to decieve. He was just allowed to decieve all of humanity, and it seems all of the elect. Or else they are just not given the liberty to reveal this deception. It will be revealed soon enough. John the Baptist started his ministry a few years before Jesus was baptized. There is not years left, only months, those months still need to cover 7 trumpets and 7 Thunderings.

    For the church only two more seals if even that now. I am not a prophet, I do not know when things are going to happen. That may be the job of those, whom this thread is about. I am just a witness to the truth of Revelation. Any doctrine is in the words for all to see and understand. Anything else I add just comes across as crazy talk, because it buts heads with Satan's deception. Those decieved can only change through listening to the Holy Spirit, not me.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    From: What Is An Apostle? Bible Definition and Meaning



    Do you believe Hudson Taylor and Jonathan Livingstone were directly commissioned by the risen Lord to the task of Apostleship? If so, can you provide documentation?

    John 21:25

    "But there are also many other things Yeshua did; and if they were all to be recorded, I don’t think the whole world could contain the books that would have to be written!"

    Ephesians 4. We can ask him when we get to glory. His work is the fruit of his calling. Put aside your bias for a second and really think about it.
