Well number 1, there is still revelation that has happened, it's part of church tradition. Number 2, ask God not me lol

2019-06-24 00:58:35 UTC  

Believing God's involvement in guiding humanity is minimal isn't an arbitrary position.

2019-06-24 00:58:52 UTC  

What revelation is that pray tell?

2019-06-24 00:59:13 UTC  

For what? A debate? I'm not trying to convince you of anything

2019-06-24 00:59:15 UTC  

Has God appeared to any man like he has with Christ, Moses, Abraham, Jesus, the apostles?

2019-06-24 00:59:44 UTC  

I'm providing you the substantiation to my claim.

2019-06-24 01:00:41 UTC  

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

2019-06-24 01:01:18 UTC  

It's not secret information or something. Just not something that is preached to people outside the church

2019-06-24 01:01:31 UTC  

I actually do, and which church is it?

2019-06-24 01:01:38 UTC  

I'm not an atheist dude

2019-06-24 01:02:03 UTC  

?

2019-06-24 01:02:11 UTC  

Agnostic?

2019-06-24 01:02:22 UTC  

Because there are thousands of different denominations, and most outside of Catholicism and Mormon's believe revelation is over.

2019-06-24 01:02:45 UTC  

I suppose you could say I'm agnostic, but only recently, and I still go to church regularly.

2019-06-24 01:03:26 UTC  

Canon is closed, but revelation has never stopped

2019-06-24 01:04:03 UTC  

Why is Canon closed?

2019-06-24 01:04:05 UTC  

I'm not part of any denomination, nor catholic. I'm eastern orthodox

2019-06-24 01:04:19 UTC  

But I'd imagine catholics teach it too

2019-06-24 01:04:31 UTC  

And the type of Revelation I refer to is literal communication from God. Not inspiration.

2019-06-24 01:04:41 UTC  

Yes

2019-06-24 01:05:31 UTC  

Mary, Saints, Angels, etc.

2019-06-24 01:05:51 UTC  

Nothing like this happens without God

2019-06-24 01:06:07 UTC  

There is no rogue saint or angel that appears without God lol

2019-06-24 01:06:48 UTC  

And what have these angels and saints taught exactly? What has been revealed to then that hasn't been before?

2019-06-24 01:06:53 UTC  

Prayers

2019-06-24 01:07:01 UTC  

Sometimes teachings

2019-06-24 01:07:10 UTC  

Usually revelation is accompanied with either prophecy or direction for correcting false doctrine.

2019-06-24 01:07:29 UTC  

At least if we use the Bible as an example.

2019-06-24 01:08:33 UTC  

There's some pretty wild things that have happened in the past 2000 years that we hear about, it has never really stopped

2019-06-24 01:09:30 UTC  

Yeah I could say the same about Pagan rituals too.

2019-06-24 01:09:37 UTC  

For sure

2019-06-24 01:09:37 UTC  

Or Hinduism, or any other sect

2019-06-24 01:09:42 UTC  

Absolutely

2019-06-24 01:09:52 UTC  

Why though are those amazing things not put into scripture?

2019-06-24 01:09:59 UTC  

Why is Canon closed?

2019-06-24 01:10:30 UTC  

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

2019-06-24 01:13:49 UTC  

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?

2019-06-24 01:14:38 UTC  

Because calling people possessed isn't very nice lol

2019-06-24 01:21:29 UTC  

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

2019-06-24 01:33:40 UTC  

That doesn't explain why it's closed. Closed means there won't be anything new, not that there hasn't been.

2019-06-24 01:34:27 UTC  

Arguably a new prophet is more necessary now than it's ever been to reign in Christianity's fractured teachings.
