81 | Why little sign of power in our churches | Mark 16:17 | Suede67 | 93596 | ||
Ken, ...Sorry this is a late response... No big deal! ...1 Cor 13:8 shows us that gifts will cease. At the time of 1 Cor 1:7 spritual gifts were very much abound still. Both 13:8 and 1:7 show us that they cease upon Christ's return. Now it's just a matter of when you feel Christ will or has returned... Yes, this is correct. ...Apparently you must believe He has returned... I believe the Bible is the Word of God alone and I believe what is written in it. Take care, SUEDE |

82 | Why little sign of power in our churches | Mark 16:17 | Suede67 | 93599 | ||
Hey Ken, ".....Neither are gifts and the church....." Incorrect!.... If gifts and the church were tied together absolutely, then they would be absolutely manifested. But they are not, and never were. Even back in the first century, not all believers would exhibit gifts. Lack of salvation? Never. ".......Neither is the church and salvation......" Partly correct!... Correct in it's entirity. Eph 2:2-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. It is important to fellowship, but you are not saved because of it. ".....I think it's a good idea to fellowship with Christians, but it's not a salvation issue...." Maybe! Depends on the condition of the "Christians" and what influence I may bring into the gathering... Yes, if they are wolves amongst the flock, I agree, but I meant fellowshipping in it's purest form, with Believers not non believers. "....Salvation is grace, not church attendance or having a "gift"...." Maybe....A little to cultish here, I'm afraid.... Surely you jest. Eph 2:8 and 9 again? It is often cults that claim that only 'they' have the correct or true church. That is cultish. ...A good question you might ask yourself is "What salvation"?... Grace alone. ...There is one that must be worked out with fear and trembling... Yes, our gift from God must be worked out, or understood. But this does not imply salvation by works. However, that verse is at forefront of cults such as JWs. ...Does the church have part in that one?... In understanding one's Grace from God? No. BUT, we should fellowship with believers. ...How about the gifts?... Absolutely not. Never have, never will. Some charsmatic believe this to be so, as in if you can't speak in "tongues" you aren't saved. That is incorrect on so many levels. Take care, SUEDE |

84 | Did this war already occur? | Rev 12:7 | Suede67 | 116176 | ||
Emmy, This all happened around 70 AD when Jerusalem was sieged by the Romans. Look at Revelation and the Olivet Discourse found in Luke 21. They describing the same thing, only Jesus reveals much greater detail to John in Revelation. True that 1,000 years is but one day to the Lord, but not to us. In the Bible we have the Lord telling mortal men something. Jesus would not say I am coming quickly to mortals knowing full well that our lives are greatly limited. Here's a great example. Daniel was told to seal up his prophecy because the days were not near. Note, that's relative to him and mortal life. 6th century B.C: "Seal up the vision; for it shall be for many days." (Dan. 8:26) Interestingly though, John was told the opposite of what Daniel was told. 1st century A.D.: "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near." (Rev. 22:10) Now, Daniel was told to seal up his prophecies, but they would be fulfilled within roughly 500 years. But John was told NOT to seal up his prophecies and they haven't come to pass in 2,000 years? This is not good Biblical interpretation. God takes into account the mortality of fleshy man. Time indicators in the New Testament demand rapid fulfillment, within the 1st Century. Take care, SUEDE |
