So...if I declare that God told me I could have multiple wives, that supercedes Scripture? Or am I Joseph Smith?
True, the example was lame, but the arguement isn't. God speaks through Scripture. He often speaks through circumstance, people, events, even secular television and music. But the Bible is God's revealed word, and it is complete. Nothing may be added to it and be called Scripture.
I know that the Bible states that He gave some apostles, some prophets. It was stated for that time, before the completion of the Canon. We now have the finished product.
Preachers are a form of prophet...the "forth-telling" part. If a man starts predicting the future, take note. The Bible says to prove them. How? watch to see if what they prophesy comes to pass. As far as if they are proved false, I'll let you look up what was done to them.
In Christ,
Trotter
