Re: *Lurkers Only*: Now's Your Chance
With respect to "all can prophecy". It is quite crystal clear that the whole of christianity very clearly picks and chooses which parts of the bible they will actually believe.
This 1cor 14 is a prime example. I have heard over a thousand times , you can all prophecy, but I have never heard wl or any leading one admit to the speaking of Paul that "if one receives a revelation, let the first sit down and the second speak". Oh how we need to hear revelation. What you have figured out as WL often did can leave you so cold. But when someone speaks from revelation you get the sense so strongly inwardly that this is truth which is of course God. The new saint who gets a revelation that in a sense you already realize is a real blessing. But to hear a reading of HWFMR can be pure death.
I went to a Lutheren church when I first left the LC and their reading a book including their prayers left me cold. But I did get some speaking of The Lord
"You know your friends just a mile or so away are doing about the same thing using HWFMR."
How we need The Lord!
Seventy five years ago we used to sing a song "Trust and obey for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. The theology is probably not that good but maybe as good as we've heard the last forty years.
