‘All truth’ versus continuing revelation (TC0, B1356)
If Christ revealed ‘all truth’ to his disciples, then why do we need continuing revelation today?
- (-) John 16:13 (B1356) Christ revealed ‘all truth’ in His day, so there is no need for revelation or new scripture now
- (-) Acts 2:1-4 (B1367) Since the disciples were all filled with the Holy Ghost, no further revelation is needed
- (-) 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (B1515) Since ‘all scripture’ was given in Christ’s day, there is no need for a Book of Mormon or revelation
- (+) Matthew 10:4-8 (B1202) The lost sheep of Israel received things that the Samaritans and Gentiles did not, thus they would need later revelation
- (+) Acts 8:14-17 (B1379) The spirit fell upon the Samaritans, and Peter and John went to them to lay hands on them and grant them revelation by the Spirit of God
- (+) 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 (B1471) Paul is caught up to Paradise, and hears unspeakable things that it was not lawful for him to utter — pure revelation
- (+) 2 Timothy 3:15 (B1515) The holy scriptures can make thee wise unto salvation, but the New Testament wasn’t even written at this time
