nikolai_42,
In reply to:
[color:"blue"]I think you miss my point. You seem to be making an assumption that when I say 'experience' that man is his own arbiter of truth. The two do not necessarily cross paths. Were that what I was saying, your post would be appropos.

Actually no... I assumed your question meant what you said. You asked, "weren't the scriptures founded on experience?" Your question was raised to SWW who is no longer a member and will be unable to respond. However your question came in reply to her comments about how charismatics are likely to put experience before the Scriptures. She wrote:

I would say that I would distrust a charismatic because they are likely to put experience before the Scriptures. If their experience goes against scriptures, they will often throw away the Scriptures. Our experiences can be deceptive and are not a reliable way of receiving information from God. The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth through the Bible. We get into trouble when we believe that there is new revelation coming from God. The Scriptures are complete.
Do you disagree with her comments?
