Nobody here has stated the “daily or frequent direct revelation” that you refer to. That Jesus ‘can’ reveal Himself in any manner He chooses has been stated. That God doesn’t ‘only’ reveal Himself through the Bible has been stated. The apostles didn’t condemn communion with God by means other than a Bible which didn’t even exist yet. They condemned the tenets of gnostic theology that were in direct opposition to the tenets of Christianity. The fact that none of the apostles, and none of the many early first century followers of Jesus had a Bible likely didn’t interfere with their salvation, or their abilities to have communion with God. I’m certain they asked, as we do, for knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Not having a Bible was clearly not an issue with any of em’.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
