Depends. Some deists seem to utterly reject all forms of revelation. But some do accept personal revelation, but they do not expect anyone else to accept it as fact since it would just be heresay.Victor said:Do Deist accept any form of revelation?
Forgive me, but isn't Deism characterized by the belief that God doesn't interfere in life?True deists would say no. We may follow the teachings of revealed knowledge as we may view them to be good moral standards, but generally very little revelation is accepted except as scitso said in the case of personal revelation in those deists who believe God intervenes in life.
Most deists have this view, but there are some who call themselves deists and yet believe God may intervene but does not use supernatural or miraculous means. I have not run across many of this persuasion, but a few have popped up here and there. They seem to read intent into what otherwise might be coincidence.Forgive me, but isn't Deism characterized by the belief that God doesn't interfere in life?
As to the OP, many Deists consider the universe itself as the only form of revelation.
There is no "Dogma" in Deism, no "True Path". As our understanding of Nature, and the science and laws that govern it increase, so to does our understanding of God. For all Deists to accept a "Reveled Revelation", all would have to experience the revelation.
I disagree with the first part of this response. I would argue that Naturalism is the dogma of Deism.
The last part of the response is simply brilliant. Thanks.
