They say they accept that Bible writers were all inspired by God, and also believe a lot of saints' divine revelations. Nowadays, how do they decide which peoples' dreams, ideas, and revelations they will believe?

Dihan, I wasn't trying to insult anyone. I was just curious.

I guess they use the same skills, they use when they decide which part of the bible is supposed to be literal, and which part is supposed to be an inspirational story.

Nice one.. Well first, you we should know where dreams usually comes from or rather… who inspires them? There are 3 answers, God, the devil, and the flesh. Of course, if you think too much of your things before you sleep, that’s what will appear in your dreams (flesh). If you dream of something that evokes fear, like nightmares and horrifying dream, that from the devil. Any dreams that glorifies Jesus’ as God and Him alone is from God.. so if the revelation, whether that is in the form of dreams or visions that doest glorify God, edifies the church, or discourages some one, that is not from God. Revelations or prophesies coming from God through visions and dreams should be edifying, strengthening, and encouraging the church.

It is a good bet not to believe any. Take what moral lesson or warning you want from a dream, the vast majority in this world are not prophetic.
For the law of correspondences to interpret dreams and visions in a prophetic way, see Swedenborg's law of correspondences discussion.

I don't believe any of them. The Teaching of God's infallible Church and the Holy Bible infallibly compiled by that same Church are quite sufficient without running after questionable private "revelation".

that may no longer what you opt for to pay attention, yet God does not choose area in this drama. there is not any one settle for God. God is the single, and that's all. There are 100s of boys you ought to have a efficient relationship. in simple terms meat them and be friendly and consult with them further and extra in case you have an activity. God does not decide to feed every physique's romantic fantasies. that may no longer the main considered necessary element in existence or maybe the remarkable 5. yet understand, God isn't messing with you. God needs you to be happy. If this is via looking somebody to be with, this is nice. Do you think of this is atypical which you basically messaged the boy as quickly as in a month in case you like him? in case you like somebody you may desire to attempt to teach it extra, yet no longer get so overwhelmed if a boy likes you or no longer.

It would depend on the denomination. Basically catholics consider dream interpretation - in the religious sense - to be against our teachings. Fundies really go for it,though. So do New Agers.

They choose that the same way the rest of humanity does. No more, no less.
Guess what? Here I am defending Christians, and I'm not one. Someday, I hope our culture will outgrow all the "us and them" thinking that we've regressed to. A lot of it sounds like tall kindergarteners.

i think that you dont have to choose what dreams and visions you have to choose because i believe that when you get a vision you will know it and then if you have the faith then you will pursue it
