Title: You do not have the right.......
Post by: Brother Love on August 18, 2004, 05:44:06 AM
You do not have the right to question God's motives!
You do not have the right to revelations from God apart from scripture!
You do not have the right to take the promises of Israel for yourself!
You do not have the right to enter into the kingdom!
You do not have the right to spiritualize every verse of scripture!
You do not have the right to pray to heavenly beings other than Christ!
You do not have the right to place another human being closer to God than yourself!
You do not have the right to work your way into Heaven!
You do not have the right to pay for salvation, a free gift, before or after you receive it!
You do not have the right .............

I could probably go on all day, but you get the idea

Er, I believe everyone has the right to do all of those things...

Tell that to Job.

Quote
You do not have the right to revelations from God apart from scripture!

Joel 2:28  And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Acst 2:17  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Quote
You do not have the right to take the promises of Israel for yourself!
Gal 3:14  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Gal 3:15  Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
Gal 3:16  Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Heb 6:12  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Heb 11:31  By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
Heb 11:32  And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
Heb 11:33  Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

I could go on an answer the rest, but you get the idea, I'm sure. As for having the right....maybe not, but God has certainly given us license to do some of these things, and in fact indicates we should.

However:

Quote
You do not have the right to pray to heavenly beings other than Christ! (GOD)
You do not have the right to place another human being closer to God than yourself! (WE ARE EQUAL IN HIS EYES)
You do not have the right to work your way into Heaven! (WE DON"T NEED TO, CHRIST'S WORK DID IT FOR US)
You do not have the right to pay for salvation, a free gift, before or after you receive it! (PAY? FOR A GIFT? NO; OFFER Gratitude, praise worship and love? YES)

I hate to say it, but I agree with these.

pi]"You do not have the right to revelations from God apart from scripture!"[/i]

Then why all this revelation without scripture?

How can one know it is of God and not a private interpretation of truth without scripture?

THE WORD OF GOD IS "COMPLETE".

This is so.

But God is much more than the written word. Our God is a living God.
