Come Let Us Reason Together

Tonight is already Thursday.  I cannot believe it!  This is the night dedicated to discussing prophecy.  Are we in the last days?  What makes this any different than when the apostles were expecting the imminent return of Messiah, or through the centuries when calamities and crisis brought the focus of society back to the Second Coming?  Something else I'd like to discuss and we touched on it last week.  Why do we believe nothing more than what's already written in the Bible can come from G-d?  I'm not talking about the crazy predictions of time and place of Messiah's return, nor am I referring to the corporate religious take overs going on around the world, but rather and simply if Ephesians mentions the offices of apostle, prophet, as well as evangelist, pastor and teacher, why do we just listen to pastors and teachers.  Seems there are so many folks calling themselves and others calling them "pastor."  Again, I'm not talking about the self-proclaimed titles of apostle or prophet and all the schoos claiming to train such folks.  I'm talking about those rather obscure, not so famous people that are living according to written Scripture, but sounding the warning and the promise of judgment and redemption.  Who, besides Constantine and the Nicene Council said the New Testament closed the Bible?  Join me as we consider what a modern prophet or apostle would be like and what  their message would be.
