@fltom,
Um, Acts 17:11 is post regeneration and conversion, they have the Spirit. It doesn't prove your false teachings. Nor does Ephesians 3:4, it is to the converted, they have the Spirit.
You've therefore, not surprisingly, misused the texts so stop pretending YOU can't be addressed or refuted. Admit you misused them and that they do not prove your point.
God sending Cornelius A PREACHER shows a mere written text doesn't have magic power. Are you really this blind that you cannot see these prove you incorrect??????
Note the Ehtiopian example, that Scripture was NOT CLEAR until the Spirit showed and illuminated the truth to him via Phillip.
All these texts do is prove that you are in error. It is remarkable that this is right there and that you cannot see it nor can you accept that you are incorrect!

Lets see I posted
Acts 17:11 —KJV
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
This shows one can judge spiritual truth by the scriptures which must be understood to do so
Now where have you shown scripture is insuficient revelation
and as for the actual states of the bereans
Acts 17:10-12 (KJV)
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming
thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
it can be sen many believed after checking the scriptures to see if what Paul stated was true
Hello
your view is contradicted here
Acts 18:28 —KJV
“For he mightily convinced the Jews,
and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.”
Presupposes spiritual truth explained can be understood
here you absurdly state
God sending Cornelius A PREACHER shows a mere written text doesn't have magic power. Are you really this blind that you cannot see these prove you incorrect??????
first you ignore the fact it speaks of preaching not the written text
and you want to talk about being blind
The fact is these jews were convinced of truth by what Paul stated
Hello
second you demonstrate a profound disrespect for the written word of God calling it a mere written text
John 1:7 —KJV
“The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all
men through him might believe.”
Again presupposes spiritual truth explained can be understood
Ephesians 3:4 (KJV)
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Presupposes reading sufficient to know spiritual truth
When God wanted Cornelius to receive the gospel he sent a preacher
Acts 11:13-14 (KJV)
13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and
call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
The spirit sent Philip to preach the gospel to the Ethiopian Eunuch
Acts 8:27-35 (KJV)
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to
him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
now you state
Note the Ehtiopian example, that Scripture was NOT CLEAR until the Spirit showed and illuminated the truth to him via Phillip.
all you are proving it that revelation can come from an inspired preacher
and does not require a personal revelation from the spirit
The fact is the spirit uses means
whether written or orally preached the spirit's means are sufficient
John 20:31 (KJV)
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV)
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
