The evangelist D.L. Moody said, “One of three persons wrote the Bible: Good men, but they couldn’t have penned it, for they would have lied when they recorded it was God’s Word. Bad men would not have written it, not with all the condemnation that is in it concerning their life-styles. Therefore, the only one who could have written it is God.” The words, “The Lord said”; “The Lord spake’”; The word of the Lord came”; and other such expressions are used 3,808 times in the Old Testament alone.
The Bible is God’s final Word to mankind; there ain’t no more! Eastern oriental religion, which governs many of today’s cults, is now creeping into Christianity. More and more, you hear the expressions among professing Christians, “I feel,” “I think,” etc. No longer is it, as the beloved old evangelist used to say, “The Bible says.” These religious pagans believe that salvation, purity, and communion with God can be achieved apart from the scriptures. They make feeling the source of knowing God. But, when one has gone beyond the Bible, they have gone beyond the truth. (John 17:17,b)
Their primary belief is that God is known through the senses, not the scriptures. A good illustration of this was when Jacob went by feeling, rather than the word, thereby being deceived. They attempt to by-pass the Bible for great experiences. It’s a short-cut, but one that always leaves them coming up short. You can always spot them; they have a tendency to rarely talk of the Bible.
How you ‘feel’ does not validate the religion to which you happen to belong.
