Does emotion establish truth

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

Does emotion establish truth?

While I was working in Romania, there were calls and two large articles affirming that we should follow James 1:5 and ask God to confirm the Book of Mormon. First, this is a misuse of the passage. It was written to believers (v. 2) and they were to pray for wisdom in applying the truth they had received. Second, Scripture is our guide (2 Tim. 3:16,17), not our emotion. Muslims feel the Koran is God’s word. Christian Scientists feel Mrs. Eddy’s writings are from God. If emotion is the final authority, then everyone who feels right is right! The Bereans "searched the Scriptures" to determine the truth (Acts 17:11). Jesus told His apostles the Holy Spirit would guide them into "all truth" (Jn. 16:13). If that is true, the gospel they preached is for all nations (Mt. 28:18-20) and there are no new revelations.
