Any revelation which contradicts this is false revelation and must be rejected as such. Christians will disagree among themselves concerning whether or not divine revelation continues today, but if it does, it must not contradict the doctrine of Scripture.
That kind of makes it sound like you go into it having already decided what you will find out. Is there really any point in prayer or beseeching God for anything if you already know what the answer is permitted to be?
I'll be honest, I have a very low regard for most fundamentalists but I"m impressed with you. I'm afraid that must be owing to your youth. If you persist in the religion I'm afraid you'll acquire some of the bad qualities that go with the genre. I hope I'm wrong.
