What do cults and religions claim about further revelation after Jesus?
Cults and religions appearing in the last several hundred years claim to have further revelation. They claim their prophet came later than Jesus, so he received revelations Jesus did not have. Yet Scripture says Paul laid the church's foundation in the finished work of the cross, and no one can add to it.
Les explains that many cults and religions have appeared even in the last several hundred years. They claim to have further revelation. They claim their prophet came later than Jesus, so he received revelations Jesus did not have. Les says that is not what verse 11 teaches. Paul writes that no other foundation can be laid than the one already laid, Jesus Christ. When Paul laid the foundation for the church—the finished work of the cross—that is it. No one can add to it, so later revelation cannot supplement Christ's finished work.
