Many a "blind" priest, or shepherd, who have fallen to "traditions of man", have successfully, "restricted" the "Word of God", to the point that He, will fit "quite nicely", in their "little boxes!" "Some", mean well, but for reasons, whether it be from "church leadership", saying, either specifically, or by insinuation, "We do the paying?" (meaning the pastor's/preist's,shepherd's salary) "WE, do the saying!" (meaning, if it is not found to be favorable to these "eyes of men?"...It don't get said/taught/preached!) If this is what you have been "experiencing", in whichever "church of stone", you are attending? as it seems you may be, or at least "inquisitive" enough, in "peering through the lid?" If it were me? I would "RUN...NOT walk" away from such a place, or, those that teach/preach this? Or? Stay, and wait until you either "feel" strong enough, or frustrated enough (you may even feel a dark forboding, oppressiveness, around the edges of your spirit), or, are not "being fed", or, your "peers" in such an assembly, or teaching, "frowns" upon "such inquisitiveness!"
Then? There are those, one might refer to as the "mouthful of well pleasin', and, a handful of MUCH OBLIGED" "snake oil" types! That will cause one to "feel good", as long as you keep "pitching" in the offering plate, whenever, or how many times it's passed during "their session!" These, are referred to as "hirelings!" They are not so much interested in "feeding their flock", as they are in FLEECING the SHEEPS! Doesn't matter to them, if they are chomping down a ribeye, and washing it down with a starbucks, while making you "feel" like your bolonie sammich, and glass of water, is a "meal, fit for a king!" (p.s....you are being "watched", during "collection times!) Jes "indicitive" of how badly the "spirit of anti-christ", has infiltrated "The Church!"
But, to answer the inquiry of your OP? A RESOUNDING, YES! How else could the "fulness of the gentiles" come to pass, during these last days?
To be sure, however? Enemies of God, mascarading, as "MESSENGERS of Christ", have been in "full tilt boogie", in PREVENTING this from coming to manifestation, since? Well?, Since, Jesus ascended onto the right side of our Heavenly Father! Yea, even before! For, indeed, if this were not the case? There would be no such "critter" as "Traditions of men!" "Which makes VOID, the Word Of God!" If it were true when Christ spoke these words? I ask? Just what has changed, to cause this statement to NOT be true?
(hope these words aid you in your inquiring's)

This church, i guess, doesn't really believe to God speaking directly. Through the Holy Spirit, yes. Through our conscience, yes. But speaking directly to us like he did to Samuel? No. God no longer need to do that because it has all been in the Scripture. In the Old Testament, people hadn't known who Jesus is and they hadn't got the full Scripture. That's why God needed to speak directly to them in order for them to understand him. Now when the Scripture is complete and the salvation has been done, God no longer need to speak directly to us because all God's will has been written in the Scripture.
That's what i have heard in my church.
