Even being one of those Chuck refers to as being sola scriptura, I agree with your basic premise. However, I do know a lot of frustrated Christians trying very hard to hear God with all their hearts. One of those people told me God said I was supposed to marry her. God didn't tell me though. Enough said? What I want to add is that what you believe God has said specifically beyond what is said in the Bible pertains to you, not me. Your convictions are not my convictions and vice versa. Gary
