if so, what is it, and what basis do you claim it inspired by God?
does God hany ANY other revelation to us than his Bible?

1. External Natural revelation - vv. 1-5
2. Written revelation - vv. 6-11
3. Internal natural revelation - vv. 12-14
Only special revelation (God's written Word) provides direction for living and for salvation - Psalm 119
Natural revelation provides sufficient light to prove that man is in rebellion against God and is a sinner. -
Jesus is God revealed incarnate, and according to Romans 1:19-20 states God revealed Himself in creation. He also reveals Himself as the Holy Spirit as our internal witness.

The incarnate revelation of God no longer exists on earth. The Holy Spirit within the realm of the human spirit is subjective and any claims must be tested by the objective Word of God.
Satan is perfectly capable of duplicating miracles signs and wonders (2 Thes. 2:9; Mt. 24:24) and therefore such things must be tested by the objective witness of God's written revelation (Isa. 8:20). -

Where is the basis to be able to make claim not in bible, but ok to use as in another source? -
God given common sense? Nothing in the bible permits HVAC.
-
As has been said above, specific revelation via the Scriptures and general revelation via creation.
It is amazing to dig into persons like Plato and see just how much of God they discerned from mere observation of the general revelation -- enough so that some in the realm of Christiandom adopted some of his principles -- which speaks to the truths found IN the specific revelation, particularly Romans 1 and some of the Psalms that speak to God's glory revealed through nature.
What we can never know, however, is the specifics of salvation, except that God revealed it and Himself to us. -
I listened yesterday to June Hunt state that God still uses dreams.
-
But, a caveat is that WE cannot manipulate dreams, nor can we somehow cause them to occur. We might "accept" them if they occur, especially if they transform someone otherwise hardened to the true gospel and cause the church to gain a foothold in a closed area. -
I take it 'hany' is a new word conglomeration containing 'have' and 'any' into one conveniently shortened word! Thanks Jesusfan! :laugh: :laugh:
