Do you believe that God spoke to Paul but it was heard as thunder -- a story told only once.
Yes
Is this another one of those sagas?

JD, I don't bind God to anything - after all it's His Word I study but once again it appears to be
"different strokes for different folks" You seem to respect "hermeneutics" and all that so go for it.
The scriptures I cite below apparently don't mean anything to you However when Paul writes
"This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall
every word be established" he speaks of a spiritual principal familiar to those who know God, His
Word, and His ways.
When Jesus tells the Jews "It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of me"
He is speaking of the same principle. Since you are so disinterested I won't quote the others.
So it's good enough for Moses, Jesus, and Paul - but JD rejects it because it does not line up with
hermeneutical rules. Jesus - God the Word says "If you abide in Me and My words abide in you"
He said nothing about having the right hermeneutical rules to qualify. Why do you put this yoke on
others JD?
Everyone has a hermeneutic. For some, it is logical; for others it is emotional. I thought we were talking about scripture, doctrine, truth ------------ that sort of thing. Not the establishment of authority or the enactment of discipline. I do not have time to go through scripture and find all the single statements, the single acts of God in creation. Do you believe that God spoke to Paul but it was heard as thunder -- a story told only once.
