Did Jesus stop calling apostles, don't we have apostles today? Was John the writer of revelations the last apostle Jesus called?
Who cannonized the scriptures? Does man have the right to remove from the word ofor God?
Please mention some of the other books that did not make it to the bible.
You also stated that you have read other books from divine revelation so let's agree that the Bible isn't the end to God's words. It was man not God that ended things in the bible. God continue's to reveal and all his revelations are equally important.

You are missing something here...

The apostles, who had direct encounters with Christ didn't have more than the old books (old testament - the Jewish bible, the Torah) but beyond the old testament, these men wrote a witness about the time of Jesus on earth, and the move of His grace on their lives after he had left.


God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Hebrews 1:1-2

Jesus himself is the revelation of God. No more revelation beyond Jesus is acceptable. These men only revealed Christ to us in the gospels and letters. No other revelation will show something greater or different from Christ. Until the Lord returns, the Holyspirit in us only teaches and reminds of us of Christ. He is the way, the truth and life...

Anything revealed beyond this reality is erroneous and heretic.

The Bible ended with the book of revelation because the new testament was a written account and testimonies of apostles and brethren that had first hand encounters with Jesus Christ[color=#770077][/color].

Most of the new testament was written by Paul, he wasn't among those that met Jesus Christmas in flesh. Did men stop having encounter's with Christ?

Jesu himself revealed himself to Paul. The believers and apostles of that time knew of his encounters with Paul. Not only of the encounters in Damascus but of the encounters in the wilderness of Arabia, where Jesus directly thought him and gave him mandate to the gentiles. The reason why most of his letter were cannonized is simple: the message of Christ was both for the Jews and the gentiles, and only Paul brought that revelations in his letters more clearly and in detail.

tctrills:
First, How do you claim that the bible is the conclusion of evens? Is it your personal opinion or did God reveal it anywhere?
Secondly, If you say that God still reveals himself or still works with people, does that not counter your first point? If God still works with people then the bible can't be the conclusion.

The Bible ended with the book of revelation because the new testament was a written account and testimonies of apostles and brethren that had first hand encounters with Jesus Christ. And these scriptures were written by the inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

God hasn't stopped revealing himself. There are many other books written after the apostles of old but they were not cannonized so that you don't filter errors mistakenly into the Bible. And I think it was right to limit the account of the new testament to the testimonies of those that experienced Jesus Christ directly.

I have read many books by Christian authors that were based on divine revelation. But all of them always bring alignment to the existing canons of the scripture. You cannot have any such understanding that are inconsistent with the word of God.

Authority1o1:
Okay...


If I was not a Christian by birth, except I am visited by the Lord Jesus Himself, nothing would make me become one. Nothing. Not even miracles, which I would have believed are all fake and scripted. But anyway, I am an insider from birth, and that has allowed for serious understanding of certain things.

The mockery is founded on the fact that these same wolves should be overseeing the church in the absence of the deceased. People have become lovers of their own self. Greed has eaten deep into the Church.

SCOAN may die with T.B Joshua.

SCOAN was never the Church of Christ. And whatever is not built on Christ will scatter. This is how you know what was on Christ or not. He built the system around himself and not on Jesus. After dying, there is no Christ in the heart of many that were close to him enough to keep the light of the gospel within sphere and the influence of the church.

Time always test the altar on which a 'church' is built. This is why believers should not be jumping churches but stay in a place where the word is nourishing and nurturing (not miracle centres). The miracles and the power of God are in His word, and can only be activated by faith not television display.

N60k?

Bubu I know likes talking.


He doesn't act


If I hear that bubu wrote or even understood the speech

The Bubu I know likes reading (not talking) but he probably has even forgotten he gave a speech this morning. Let everyone look upward to God and inward to self. Don't lean on government

Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) decreased by –6.10%(year-on-year) in real terms in the second
quarter of 2020, ending the 3-year trend of low but positive real growth rates recorded since the 2016/17
recession.

The decline was largely attributable to significantly lower levels of both domestic and international
economic activity during the quarter, which resulted from nationwide shutdown efforts aimed at
containing the COVID-19 pandemic. The domestic efforts ranged from initial restrictions of human and
vehicular movement implemented in only a few states to a nationwide curfew, bans on domestic and
international travel, closure of schools and markets etc., affecting both local and international trade. The
efforts, led by both the Federal and State governments, evolved over the course of the quarter and
persisted throughout.

When compared with Q2 2019, which recorded a growth of 2.12%, the Q2 2020 growth rate indicates a
drop of –8.22% points, and a fall of –7.97% points when compared to the first quarter of 2020 (1.87%).
Consequently, for the first half of 2020, real GDP declined by –2.18% year on year, compared with 2.11%
recorded in the first half of 2019. Quarter on quarter, real GDP decreased by –5.04%. Furthermore, only
13 activities recorded positive real growth compared to 30 in the preceding quarter.

In the quarter under review, aggregate GDP stood at N34,023,197.60 million in nominal terms, or -2.8%
lower than the second quarter of 2019 which recorded an aggregate of N35,001,877.95 million. Overall,
the nominal growth rate was –16.81% points lower than recorded in the second quarter of 2019, and
–14.81% points lower than recorded in the first quarter of 2020. For better clarity, the Nigerian economy
has been classified broadly into the oil and non-oil sectors.

MansoryMX:
You sound intelligent and someone fit to drop this bomb for. What if one day you wake up and discover the Bible and Quran are just books, an interesting books and nothing more.

What will give you the understanding that the bible is mere book? As in, you will just sleep and wake up and become convinced that it is a story book. Something must happen to give you the conviction. Why dont you give the instances or possibilities of what could inspire that knowledge

bolaayenimo:
I prefer Yinka Ogunmakin. With the way he has been managing Afenifere, it shows he will manage Nigeria better if elected President

Sure you dont know Yinka. He is a political robber. I know how he collects money from govt and politicians to raise his voice over issues.

You cannot change to christianity without being supported spiritually by brethren in your church. Please get in touch with your pastor or elders and explain your predicament. If this is genuine, God will always arrange a way of escape.
