Why This Matters
Christians are called to test every claim, teacher, and spiritual experience by the Word of God. When a Bible version, teacher, or movement claims divine authority while departing from sound doctrine, believers must respond with biblical discernment.The church does not need secret revelations, mystical downloads, or extra-biblical claims to hear from God. God has spoken clearly and sufficiently in His Word, and His people are called to hold fast to the truth once for all delivered to the saints.About NAR to Christ
