Well number 1, there is still revelation that has happened, it's part of church tradition. Number 2, ask God not me lol
Believing God's involvement in guiding humanity is minimal isn't an arbitrary position.
What revelation is that pray tell?
For what? A debate? I'm not trying to convince you of anything
Has God appeared to any man like he has with Christ, Moses, Abraham, Jesus, the apostles?
I'm providing you the substantiation to my claim.
A lot, but I'd say not nearly all revelation is kept with church tradition. We are taught about it all the time. You don't hear it because I assume you don't attend
It's not secret information or something. Just not something that is preached to people outside the church
I actually do, and which church is it?
I'm not an atheist dude
?
Agnostic?
Because there are thousands of different denominations, and most outside of Catholicism and Mormon's believe revelation is over.
I suppose you could say I'm agnostic, but only recently, and I still go to church regularly.
Canon is closed, but revelation has never stopped
Why is Canon closed?
I'm not part of any denomination, nor catholic. I'm eastern orthodox
But I'd imagine catholics teach it too
And the type of Revelation I refer to is literal communication from God. Not inspiration.
Yes
Nothing like this happens without God
There is no rogue saint or angel that appears without God lol
And what have these angels and saints taught exactly? What has been revealed to then that hasn't been before?
Prayers
Sometimes teachings
Usually revelation is accompanied with either prophecy or direction for correcting false doctrine.
At least if we use the Bible as an example.
There's some pretty wild things that have happened in the past 2000 years that we hear about, it has never really stopped
Yeah I could say the same about Pagan rituals too.
For sure
Or Hinduism, or any other sect
Absolutely
Why though are those amazing things not put into scripture?
Why is Canon closed?
I don't like assuming things are just the work of demons, we generally don't make assumptions like that. Trying to stay humble about the world
What does humility about the world mean? But still I'm wondering, why is canon closed? Why are the revelations you say are occurring not being put into scripture like any other pre NT time period?
Because calling people possessed isn't very nice lol
And they're pretty small scale revelations. It was a task of itself to put all of the necessary things into the bible that are there to begin with. Something isn't just simply added because it's part of the faith. Even the book of revelation took a while to be added
That doesn't explain why it's closed. Closed means there won't be anything new, not that there hasn't been.
Arguably a new prophet is more necessary now than it's ever been to reign in Christianity's fractured teachings.
