Who has the WORD of God for the Saints?

[mfblume]

The preacher? At first, sure! New saints need to learn and grow, and cannot clearly hear from the Lord at first. But that is for new believers. the saints are not to look at the pastor as ever having the word of God for their lives. That is Old Testament mentality. One of the many differences between the old and new testaments is the fact that believers today can all enter the holiest and hear directly from God.

Heb 8:7-12 KJV For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. (8) For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: (9) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. (10) For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: (11) And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. (12) For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
