God speaking to us through our conscience |

Guys I have a quick question, just recently my brother had a disagreement with his wife on a certain subject. She came home from work and told him that a lady
that she works with came up to her and said, "God told me to pray for you...because you are in a special position (ie. she is a nurse that deals with
children). She comes from a very catholic background, then to a very charismatic background, now she attends with my brother in a baptist church. Her
grandmother claims to be an exorcists and she has written her own bible to justify her claims. My brothers wife is very into her grandmothers proclaimed gift
and very much enjoys the supernatural things that she claims. Anyway that is just a brief background on her. To get back to what happened she came home and
told my brother that a friend of hers at work came up to her and said that God had spoken to her. My brother is a new Christian but grew up in a baptist
household and he is very much against the charismatic side of things. His response without thinking was that "God speaks to us through scripture and not
so much as he did in the apostolic period or prior to that." She became very angry and because he just popped off with that he had no scriptural proof to
justify his claims. How in the world can this situation be resolved to bring about peace and love for their relationship? Any suggestions?

do not know enough about the details and the personalities involved, etc. In general: (1) writing one's own Bible immediately sounds an alarm too me -
though without understanding more about it (is it a Study Bible just with notes upon the Scripture, is it brand new Scriptures, etc.) I could not comment on
it, (2) apologies may be in store for over reacting for it seems some people had right intentions, though may be somewhat misdirected or maybe just used wrong
terminology - but again this is mere guess work on my part......
In Christ,
