A simple test of teaching

[Jimbob]

"If I'm teaching something that's brand new, that nobody else has taught, then probably it's not true—no, surely it's not true.  If I ever say, "The Lord told me this," or, "The Lord told me that," or, "The Lord spoke to me," and said something that's contrary to Scripture, or something that not in the Scripture, then that's not really from God."
~John MacArthur

I just don't know why this would have caught my attention recently and made me think of posting it on the forum!
