So I guess if I go by this thread here, or if there is even a single verse in the Bible, even half of verse (as “the oracle” used to like to poach half-verses to create a truth), then there isn’t such a thing that exists in this world as absolute truth, 100% accurate and pure. There is absolutely nothing a person can use to test the current winds of teaching and revelations against, as Bereans did to Paul when he was starting his ministry. It’s all up to YOU, or ME to see and feel how my spirit leads me.
Sounds like we should just all go back to the local church, and experience that “oneness” of spirit once again, since you know it’s all about it, and the people there sure know this spirit and will point everyone into a right direction. They sure were right when they say, “you are deceived if you leave the visions of recovery”. Maybe time to have a “come to Jesus moment”. I guess some of us can already admit that they are deceived, but some of us hardheaded goats still need to be dealt with.

Just saying,
Thanks for just saying. You're a trip! Please register and join in!
I tend to agree with what I think you are saying. I have only personally experienced maybe 3 times in my entire life where I can say "that was God that spoke that to me". All the other times are me fumbling around not knowing if it's my digestion rumbling, my own head creating stuff, or wishful thinking. I would be worried about way too many things if I didn't have the concrete words of Scripture to turn to and examine what I am unsure about against it.
Of course, as awareness and some have said, the Bible itself doesn't come without it's own issues to contend with - e.g., how many of the many transcript discrepancies are significant or change the story in an actually meaningful way, etc? But the Scripture is grounding, or else quite literally anyone can claim whatever they want about what God said to them, and we have no way to test the validity at all. Many, many cult leaders have claimed God told them all kinds of thoroughly evil and unrighteous things (for example, if you have Netflix, watch "Keep Sweet: Pray, and Obey" about the polygamist FLDS cult that endorsed child marriage and other horrific things......shudder......or, rather, don't watch it), and if the congregants had just known to hold those unrighteous "divine commands" up to the Bible, so many would have been saved from a lifetime of trauma and abuse.
