     | 4,162 views

    There are those who believe that the 66 books of the Bible are not enough, so they continuously look for fresh revelation through private prophetic words, dreams, or visions for a more meaningful personal experiential relationship with God.

Therefore, because the Disciples in the first century had to rely on hearing the ...read more
