Soul,
You’ve said a lot, and you’re trying to thread the needle between respect for Scripture and defense of mysticism. But brother, that thread keeps snapping because you’re stitching together two opposing fabrics: biblical sufficiency and extra-biblical revelation. They don’t weave. They unravel each other.
First, let’s lock this down: John 21:25 doesn’t mean Scripture is incomplete in what God intended us to know. It means not everything Jesus did was recorded—but everything necessary for faith and life was. That’s not speculation. That’s John 20:31: “These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ… and that by believing you may have life in His name.” God gave us the exact measure needed. Not more. Not less. Not Valtorta.
You keep repeating the “Scripture is sufficient but incomplete” line. But that’s like calling your foundation “solid but missing bricks.” If it needs mystical filler, it was never sufficient. And if it’s sufficient, then adding visions and poetic rewrites isn’t reverence. It’s spiritual inflation.
On Jeremiah 6: again, Satan doesn’t need to produce actual peace. He fakes it. That’s why the people felt secure while judgment loomed. That’s why Jesus and Paul warn about wolves in sheep’s clothing, not dragons breathing fire. Satan’s strategy is seduction, not shock and awe.
And now your take on interpretation. Yes, people twist the Word. But you’re using that reality as a backdoor to say maybe Maria Valtorta got it right and the rest of us are just reading it wrong. That’s not humility. That’s relativism. Just because bad interpretations exist doesn’t mean we start entertaining extra-biblical voices. We go back to the Book, not forward into visions.
You accused me of misinterpreting grace as God changing a person’s will. But that’s not a misinterpretation—it’s Romans 9. It’s Ezekiel 36. It’s John 6:44. It’s the Spirit breathing life into dry bones and turning hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. That’s grace. It doesn’t wait for permission. It resurrects.
So let’s not dodge anymore. If Scripture isn’t enough to know Jesus, then we are all adrift. But if it is—and it is—then every dream, vision, or mystical claim gets tested by it. And if it doesn’t hold up, it gets thrown out. No matter how moving, no matter how beautiful, no matter how sincere.
Jesus didn’t say “blessed are those who read the visions.” He said, “Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it” (Luke 11:28).
