When did God stop speaking?

[Salamander]

None of the "versions" enjoy plenary, verbal inspiration, but I do believe enough of scripture has been preserved down through the years so that we can enjoy the word of God in most versions.

Do we make mistakes when we think we know what God is saying? We surely do, but in keeping close to God in prayer, I believe we receive enough guidance to keep us true to His will in our lives.

I will never worship a book, but I will worship out of that book.

Cheers,

Jim

Can you explain how an inanimate object can enjoy something?

I enjoy reading God's inpsired words. I don't always enjoy what God says to me when He first speaks to me from His word, but as I cling to the Cross and obey His command I find myslef in His perfect will having joy unspeakable and full of glory!

I'll worship as the Spirit leads according to what I've hidden in my heart from His word. I haven't attained to true worship beyond what I find Him to speak in His word.

His Son, being once dead and now risen, yet speaketh.

Good ol' Sal...answering questions that nobody's even asking...

Your feddish is turned into an obsession that causes my wife to be suspect of your intentions.:laugh:

 

[Salamander]

Are you suggesting that God Himself is not able to stop doing something when and if He Himself chooses to do so?

Would you claim that the Scriptures teach that God continued to give new revelation or to inspire directly additional Scripture after the completion of the New Testament?

NO.:godisgood:

Reported as a slam against the ESV, you might as well have used the "p" word. It is just as much God's Word as your KJV.

:laugh: Your bias controls you to the point of reacting according to your imagination!

I'll say it for you a little differently: I love good commentaries and devotionals which hold true in their referencing God's word. God speaks this way very well.:godisgood:

The gross error upon your behalf is to make a claim where there is no wording to justify your action.

I didn't even mention the ESV or ANY "p" word!

You're a sly one, Mr. Salamander- I'll give you that. Anyone with one whit of 'horse sense' knew what you were implying. I'll leave it up to the moderators to decide but you know in your heart what you were implying.

Maybe you should address me on this via PM as the rules of BB command!

To allude to other members to have "horse-sense" is very derogatory and a slam at anyone who is a member.

I love the way you determine what is the intent of my heart.

Matthew 7:1-3

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

 

[Salamander]

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

And fashioning the word of God as a weapon against thy brother is ok in your "book".

Stick to the topic.

It is out of the abundance of the Heart of God he gave us His forever settled in heaven/ inspired word!

Attacking the word of God is what you've done when you use it against the person of another as to slander them.

You have judged the intention of my heart and violate Mathew 7's inspiration.

You have also violated the admonition to reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all authority by judging my intentions. You are not my authority. The word of God is my Authority and it IS inspired!:godisgood:

Care to proceed in your violations?

Clearer now?

... Slandering the Salamander has become a common practise on the BB.

What you are feebly attempting to express would actually be called "libel" (not "slander"). Libel is a false publication (as in writing, print, signs, or pictures) that damages a person's reputation. But I fail to see how libel could be applied to your standing here.

The perfect defense against either libel or slander is if the allegations are TRUE.

Oh, yeah, sure! This explains exactly how an inanimate object can experience something!:laugh:

You're a riot.

I'll be praying God remove these scales form your eyes.

Libel is slander.

Now there's sound reasoning.

 

[Salamander]

So, we can conclude that all of God's word is still inspired due to the FACT that God has never stopped speaking through His INSPIRED word.

We were never really talking about when and if His revelation of word was still active.

To ask if God ever spoke an inspired word in English is a deliberate and self-conceited ATTACK on the very word of God!

Glad I have the Actively Inspired Words of God who cannot be made to stop his mouth!:godisgood: (although some would dare to try.)

 

[Dr. Bob]

Almost correct.

We can conclude that all of God's word is still inspired due to the FACT that God has never stopped speaking IN His INSPIRED word.

And all translations, including English ones, can derive "applied inspiration" as they accurately translate what God has said IN His inspired Word.

I couldn't agree more, except God has never depended upon anyone to derive applied inspiration to that which reamins for all eternity to be directly and personally inspired.

I suppose you would also, as a whole, award applicable inspiration to the NWT!

As in any OTHER translation, the inspiration was halted when something diametrically opposed to sound reason was introduced. That cannot be said about the KJB, but it can about some other Englsih versions, huh?

 

[franklinmonroe]

... Libel is slander.

Really? Wow. Well then, now I'm convinced.

But seriously, just three words. That's all? C'mon, denial is not refutation.

Although, I do sympathize with your predicament. Hmmm. Since the truth can't be refuted away, let me try to help you. What should Salamander do in this situation? Oh, wait! I've got it! He should predictably resort to some arrogent 'holier-than-thou' slur (like: he's praying for the other guy). Yeah, go with that! Maybe no one will notice that you've got no substantive responses whatsoever.

Yep, when one has exhibited the higher understanding the one of lower degree resports to insults as if he has now gained some superiority in his deviant process.

Reminds me of the darwinists expulsion of those who can't help but admit intelligent design.:laugh:
