Whoever will listen will hear the speaking Heaven. This is definitely not the
hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there.
Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster
make a man dear to God. But we may take heart. To a people caught in the
tempest of the last great conflict God says,
"Be still, and know that I am God, "and still He says it, as if He means to tell us that our strength and safety lie not in
noise but in silence.

Hi
I certainly like Tozer
He would implore you to make sure you have discernment about which voices you’re listening to that they are actually from the Holy Spirit and not from your own personal thoughts and will. Really the only way to gain discernment is to read the Bible and be as wise as the Bereans.
Hope retirement is treating you well!

Thank you.
I do not adhere to your opinion that really the only way to gain discernment is to read the Bible. I can’t argue with your idea if being wise though.

That wasn’t my opinion, my opinion on this matter is not important. It’s what the Holy Spirit said through the Bible.
2 Timothy 3:14-17
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[1] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work
Acts 17:11
11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

No, it is your opinion of what the Holy Spirit is saying to you through these verses from the Bible.
I don’t agree with your opinion about what the Holy Spirit is saying through these verses.

So everyone has their own opinion about what the Holy Spirit says? That is confusion and anarchy those things are not of God. God has an order and a blueprint. If you’re not following that order and the blueprint, you’re following someone other than God. He is the same yesterday today and forever. You don’t get to make up in your head what he saying. That’s actually heresy. Tread carefully.

Bible commentaries can be great but you always need to compare them to what the Bible actually says.

It Is the measuring stick. if it doesn’t line up with what the book says, you should question it.

Yes I believe everyone has their own opinion as to what the Bible means and is trying to say.
I personally believe that my opinion to what the meaning of scripture is comes from the Holy Spirit of God, who speaks to me.
Show how what you say is not your opinion.

Not everyone interprets what the Bible actually says the same. There are many different versions of and translations of the Bible.

Which book, which translation, whose interpretation?
I do know the Apostles performed miracles. Until you can also you're a charlatan.

The Bible is the written word of God, and because it is written it is confined and
limited by the necessities of ink and paper and leather. The Voice of God, however, is alive and free as the sovereign God is free.
"The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." The life is in the speaking words. God's word in the Bible can have power only because it corresponds to God's word in the universe. It is the present Voice which makes the written Word all-powerful. Otherwise it would lie locked in slumber within the covers of a book.

I believe that much of our religious unbelief is due to a wrong conception of and
a wrong feeling for the Scriptures of Truth. A silent God suddenly began to
speak in a book and when the book was finished lapsed back into silence again
forever. Now we read the book as the record of what God said when He was for
a brief time in a speaking mood. With notions like that in our heads how can we
believe? The facts are that God is not silent, has never been silent. It is the nature
of God to speak. The second Person of the Holy Trinity is called the Word. The
Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech. It is the infallible
declaration of His mind for us put into our familiar human words.

Interesting you left off the most important part of
Tozier quote
“The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech”
And
“It is the infallible declaration of His mind for us put into our familiar human words”
I think you do that a lot. You just take out the pieces you don’t want to believe if it doesn’t suit you and you personal narrative or belief.

Actually meant I you don’t believe Toziers quote. You say you don’t believe the Bible is infallible. Just a bunch of Men writing folklore and traditions.
