I thought you would say something in this sense.
This, of course, is a major point of disagreement: I believe there have, indeed, been new revelations from God.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
