Scriptures we might have hope. [/i]
2 Peter 1:20-21 (NASB) But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation,
for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
2 Peter is not canonical. It is pseudepigraphical. It was designed to prevent the very revision necessary to discern the "solid food." It is responsible for the retention of the primitive and barbaric "carnal milk" nonsense that still exists today.
Not true. God is more than willing to have a conversation. God does not like being contained in an ancient book. The idea that God only speaks within the pages of a book defies logic.
One thing is self-evident: believers can't agree on what God really thinks. Even believers who accept the Bible as God's Infallible Word can't agree on how to interpret it.
I don't understand why the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe has such a difficult time communicating with his creatures. Good communication cannot be misinterpreted. Based on the amount of religious conflict in the world, I'd say that God lacks basic communication skills. Either that, or God finds religious conflict entertaining.

SHOCKING, is it not? Perhaps this is a revelation that what anyone's god thinks or is supposedly written by that god is totally IRRELEVANT and all that will matte in the end is dis we practice MERCY, demand JUSTICE and walk with HUMILITY in this life...
Not sure about your god, but the GOD I know speaks on a daily basis to ALL people...
BE STILL.
BE QUIET.
