1 | Is prophecy dead? | Matt 11:13 | whyndell | 110710 | ||
The question is not whether prophecy is dead- but whether God is still speaking in a revelatory manner- such as declared by the charismatics and pentecostals. If Scripture is closed and God has provided all we need for life and salvation- then why would He continue to "so call" speak to individuals through people?; seeing that these very same people claim to be fallible. God is "no longer" speaking in revelatory manners- the "whole foundation" of the charismatic movement is flawed- every person who claims to speak from God is lying and is actually being prompted by Satan. |

2 | why can't a christian dink or dance | Bible general Archive 1 | whyndell | 51511 | ||
While we would all liketo think we have all hard choices to make, when in reality there are not that many. It is evident from Scripture that consumption of alchol is not acceptable, a brief search through Proverbs is enough to convince one that "God" knows His buisness, and is to be avoided. There is no provision for those "who can handle it" clause. As for dancing, to take verses which are meant to be used in a "worshipful" way, and equate them to the bumping and grinding that people do, which they call dancing. Our actions are to honor God and present a witness that we are His, and yes that means we are not going to be able to tatoo, sticks earrings all over our bodies, and particpate in the "sinful" pastimes of those who do not know Him. I know there are those who will scream leagalist and bible thumper, but ok- I know my opinions are not RC- Religiously Correct. Seek the things that are above, no the things of the earth . Love in christ Whyndell |

4 | Is prophecy dead? | Matt 11:13 | whyndell | 1639 | ||
It depends on what you mean by "prophesy" if it is a word that is to be taken as verbally from God- therefore the contents of those words are to be adhered to as we do Scripture- you are going to be hard pressed to prove your position from the Word of God. By the way John was an Apostle, chosen by the Lord to write Scripture, so your first defense falls, because 99 percent of the miracles and prophesy in the NT is by an apostle. Though normative for them in the office, does not mean normative for the church, or later generations. Like all adherents to the "so called" charismatic movement they have no Scriptual basis for how they operate their gifts, sense no clear definition or declaration is given as to how each and everyone was performed by the individual. The case of the modern "false tongues", every and I mean every indication in the NT is these were "earthly languages", never babbling unintelligble noise, yet every gift of so-called tongues today is nithing but gibberish. Speaking from experience since I have heard probably 6 to 7,000 people speak them, and not all at once, including myself who through the grace of God was delivered from the false holy ghost revival. As to heavenly pray language well it does not exsist and never did- 1 cor 12:7, Paul clearly states these gifts were for the "common" good never to build oneself up spiritually or communicate with God on a private level. The modern Cahrismatic movement, the Third Wave, etc, are "mysticism" in christian "sheep colthing". I do not mean to be so blunt- but thats the facts. Do I believe God speaks to His people - most assuredly- in the Word, in response to our prayers, and yes I have seen people raised from sickness to health, with the aid of doctors and without- though the Lord is working in both situations. But I have also seen loved ones slip into eternity- even with our prayers- but even there He works miracles in our minds and heart. So yes our God is a God of miracles- but no the stuff I hear come from those who have fallen into the false "holy spirit" that started approx. 35 years ago. Standing for our Saviour Jesus Christ, who by the Eternal Spirit has redeemed us. Whyndell |

5 | Are there female angels? | Zechariah | whyndell | 1638 | ||
From what i have been able to understand from some reading and a little Heb. work on the passage - these are not angels- but are taken as agents of evil sent to carry off the "wickedness" of the people. The wings do not necessarily make them "angels. See commentary note in t"the Bible knowledge commentary" vol.1/1557 and "Expositors Bible Commentary" vol.7/634-635. | ||||||
