Michael
Flournoy continues to (1) embarrass himself and (2) prove the truth of Heb
6:4-6 in a new article where he tries to defend Sola Scriptura in an article entitled Why The Bible Doesn’t Need To Be Rescued (but we do!).
In it,
Michael writes:
As long as new scripture is able, not only to
add to old scripture but to contradict it, an open canon is worthless because
we never know what’s coming that might obliterate something we believe in now.
With an open canon, there’s no guarantee that even the gospel basics won’t be
changed somewhere down the road.
The problem
for Michael is that (1) there is no text of the New Testament that supports a
cessation of special revelation at the inscripturation of the final book of the
New Testament and (2) the New Testament was written during a time of special
revelation, so this argument could be used against Paul et al. when they were
writing their inspired texts.
Michael ends
with this:
With a closed canon, God’s word is succinct.
It is powerful. It can’t be altered by the whims of a false prophet. To say we
need an endless quantity of God’s word is to say there’s no quality in God’s
word, and that simply isn’t true. So no, The Book of Mormon did not rescue the
Bible. On the contrary, the Bible rescues us from The Book of Mormon and
anything else that corrupts the gospel of Christ.
Sadly, it is
Michael, not Latter-day Saints and the Book of Mormon, who preach a false
gospel. See the listing of articles at Responses to Michael Flournoy to see why this is the case.
As for Sola
Scriptura, to see it is anti-biblical (and further proof Michael has, sadly,
embraced a damnable false gospel), see:
