Question:
What does it mean to speak the oracles of God and how is it different from the apostles who actually wrote down the Scriptures? 1 Peter 4:11 says, “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God.” The oracles of God are given to us by the Holy Spirit, and we can speak this way when we completely remove any thoughts of ourselves and allow God to work through us to give “a word for the time for the needs of the people.” 1 Corinthians 2:13 tells us that we speak that which the Holy Ghost teaches. Also, we must know that Scripture, the Word of God, is complete and we won’t add to it by speaking by inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
