1 | What about so-called revelation knowledg | Bible general Archive 1 | gracefull | 82113 | ||
Christ provided all believers, as a gift,through His blood, His righteousness, His justification for the purpose of His work. God the Father sent His Holy Spirit to dwell in me to empower for service..If you interpret that as equal with Christ you have a problem. Without Him I would be nothing, with Him I am His child and can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. "Do you really think you can walk into a grave yard and command someone buried there to arise?" Do YOU believe Mark 16? Or do you believe it's presence in scripture is an error? God bless |

Dear Graceful, I for one would not say of Mark 16 "it's presence in scripture is an error." I believe it a matter of Biblical interpretation. We must certainly understand the context of the passage, and note who is speaking, who is being spoken to, and what is being spoken about. That Mark 16 is scripture is not in question, but rather is its' application today valid? I would not hold that its' command is still binding and therefore relevant today. We do not see as "normative"( and I emphasize this term)the casting out of demons, tongues, drinking of deadly poison, and miraculous healings. The problem with resurecting the dead (or resuscitations) is that we find few examples in scripture. Again, it's not normative! In the OT we have 1 Kings 17:17-23, 2 Kings 4:32-37 and 13:21. In the NT we have Jesus Ministry of Matt. 9:24-25, Luke 7:12-15, John 11:43, and the apostles in Acts 9:36-41, 20:9-12. A total of 8 recorded instances. I would expect it to be in every book of the Bible ( and at that several times) for us to develop a doctrine. Would you not agree? Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

In reference to your statement concerning Mark 16: You said.. "I would not hold that its' command is still binding and therefore relevant today." I do believe it is relevant and binding today. You said: "The problem with resurecting the dead (or resuscitations) is that we find few examples in scripture. Again, it's not normative! In the OT we have 1 Kings 17:17-23, 2 Kings 4:32-37 and 13:21. In the NT we have Jesus Ministry of Matt. 9:24-25, Luke 7:12-15, John 11:43, and the apostles in Acts 9:36-41, 20:9-12. A total of 8 recorded instances. I would expect it to be in every book of the Bible ( and at that several times) for us to develop a doctrine. Would you not agree?" Mark 16:16-18 makes no mention of raising the dead. "(21) He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17 "These signs will accompany those who have believed: (22) in My name they will cast out demons, they will (23) speak with new tongues; 18 they will (24) pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will (25) lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." I did not bring up the subject of raising the dead, nor did I at any time in any of my post state or even imply that raising the dead should or could be commonplace. Ed asked that question to create controversy. Read MY posts. God bless |

Graceful "Ed asked that question to create controversy" Me create controversy? Your the one that said your Christ's equal. Your reasoning was that since we are the body of Christ we also have his authority and I might add sit at the right hand of the Father. Pretty high exalted position. I simply asked that since you had Jesus' authority if you could walk in the grave yard and command a body to rise. You went off the Mark 16 trail. Read your posts!!!!! EdB |

Ed, I apologize if this statement was a misjudgement of your motives. As I do not recall saying anything about raising the dead, I can't see any other reason for you to make such a statement. "Your the one that said your Christ's equal." No Ed...I did not say that. This is your interpretation of what I said...I did not say I AM THE HEAD. I am part of the body..and according to Mark 16 have been empowered for service. "I simply asked that since you had Jesus' authority if you could walk in the grave yard and command a body to rise. You went off the Mark 16 trail. Read your posts!!!!!" Where in my posts did I talk about raising the dead? If you will direct me to a post where I said anything about raising the dead, I would appreciate it. Scripture does not address 'raising the dead' except in extraordinary cases and the Holy Spirit would direct that if He wanted to. God bless |

Graceful What you said is what I said you said. What you meant may have been entirely different. What I suspect you did was copied a WOF statement, reading it to mean what you think and believe. However that is not what it said, but go back analyze it again. You will see you said you have Christ's authority because your part of His body. You also stated your sitting at the right hand of God. This is the problem with WOF they slip stuff past you. EdB |
