DAVEH: Does Protestant theology suggest prophets are no longer needed since Canon is closed?I am not sure if there is an "official" protestant view, but I think it is safe to say yes since they don't recognize any authority but the Bible. Sola Scriptura.
What has changed that would make Protestants think that the Lord no longer wants to reveal secrets (of the mysteries, perhaps) toNothing has changed as far as I know. Just because the LDS think that he SHOULD and DID reveal secrets certainly is no indication that he HAS revealed more, especially when those who do not have an LDS bias recognize the lies and deceit in his writings.
his prophets?
DAVEH: Btw.......Do you remember the "Is God Dead" days some 3 decades ago or so?
Yes.
DAVEH: Did that question not arise because the Lord seemingly isn't speaking to man nowadays?Maybe that is the reason, but I do not see the connection to our present discussion.
DAVEH: Do you really believe vs 6 is not about a future event, or are you just suggesting possibilities?
At this point, just offering possibilities.
DAVEH: I don't know. Did you pray about it?
Yes. I prayed to be shown the truth. And, my prayer was answered.
DAVEH: Now you are saying that it is not closed, is that correct? How should I understand your belief Perry......is Canon open or closed???Sorry that you were confused, David. You might want to read through my explanation again. I though I made it very clear, and I don't think I am capable of making it any clearer.
If you have read the NT, you have my view of it. Of course, I do not add the LDS bias, or capriciously pull random verses out as proof texts to support LDS heresy, such as the two sticks, the "ye are gods", or the "sheep of another fold".DAVEH: Can you give me a thumbnail view of how you define it, please?
DAVEH: I sure didn't get that feeling when I read it.
Sometimes we have to go by the words and their meanings, not our feelings.
DAVEH: Isn't that the gospel message......to explain the mysteries of God that have been hidden from the non believers?Basically. But only the mysteries He chooses to reveal, which are necessary and sufficient for our understanding the gospel in his view, not our view.
DAVEH: Was Moses' (and some of the other prophets) revelations tested when they were given?I am sure they were put to the tests to which all prophets were put. One false prophecy and it was the stone pit. (Or, in modern terms, the Carthage Jail.)
If the authorship is questionable, then how scrutiny was given to the books examined for Canonization?One must be careful where one looks for their theology. Secular TV is probably not the best place.
Not really, but I did add some cynicism which may have made it sound rhetorical. My point being that what you see as shortsightedness I see as being cautious not to accept lies and heresy as new revealed doctrine.DAVEH: I assume that is a rhetorical question?
Perry, do you know if Jewish Canon is open or closed?
I have no idea what the Jews believe about what they consider canon. Take a look at Hebrews 1:1,2. Perry
