A New Revelation From God?

The doctrines that come from the mind of man are not in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. The Bible tells us that God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). The Bible comes from God, so if one were to follow the Bible, there would not be any confusion.

Have you noticed that every time that someone gives a “new” revelation (supposedly from God?) that the message is different from what God has already spoken in His word? The Bible tells us that God does not change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).2 Peter 1:3 tells us that everything we need pertaining to salvation and how to live has been given to us. So when we follow man’s teachings, the messages are not from God, and thus many people become confused. For some people, they could care less if they are living as God would have them live. For most people, they want to live like they want to live and no God is going to make them do otherwise. They will perish in their arrogance, pride, and sin.

The only way to resolve the present confusion in the religious world is to turn back to the Bible and follow its teachings and the commandments that come from God. This means that many may have to reject the traditions that they have so long enjoyed.

Souls are at stake, so it is very important to decide which path one will follow. The path of God (Psalm 119:105) or the precepts of men. To follow man is to fail God. We are sure you do not want to fail God, so let us help you on the right path.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, (Acts 16:31). Repent of your sins (Acts 8:22). Confess His name (Romans 10:9-10) Be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:15-16). Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10). May God bless you in your study of His word.
