Bible Note: Hello Aaron, As you can see, you have stirred up the proverbial hornets nest. I'm not sure if that was your intention or not, but, here we are. You responded to BradK that you were "trying the spirits of this forum". You then offer 1John 4:1. I need clarification. Did you intentionally post some bogus stuff, calling it "prophecy of the church" with the thought of testing those of us on the forum? If so, I see clearly that those who have responded have passed your test; clearly seeing and pointing out the bogus nature of your posting. However, on the other hand, I'm not sure that you don't really, actually believe what your original post states. As the dialogue continues I'm believing you do believe it. In any case, Acts 17:11 is a good place to refer regarding the testing of spirits Acts 17:11 11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so. ASV Note that the key here is the "examining" of "the Scriptures". Others have already sufficiently examined the scriptures to "test" your "prophecy of the church" and found it to have failed the test. In other words, it does not "line up" with Scripture. One more thought. The idea of "testing" seems to be one of using Scripture to validate or refute a teaching, not the other way around. In other words, I don't find the apostles presenting bogus teachings as "tests" for the saints to see if they can "get it right". Christ's Love, Jeff |
