Isn't He more than just a "Jimminy Cricket" who points us in the right direction and hopes we go that way? The Bible is authoritative, but it's a delegated authority. It is not the fourth member of the Trinity. <br /><br />What about times in history where the Bible didn't exist? Wasn't God able to communicate faithfully to His people then? What about today where Bibles are nearly non-existent or illegal, and someone may have only a page or two of it?<br /><br />Let's get back to the Holy Spirit. Without His guidance, His wisdom, and His initiation and enabling into maturity in faith, the words recorded in the Bible remain just that: words.<br /><br />I'll be honest, for someone who adheres to Calvinist theology, to limit God's ability to communicate to us to the Bible is somewhat surprising.Christopher Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320566502094485476noreply@blogger.com
