1 | Is prophecy dead? | Matt 11:13 | charis | 1560 | ||
It has been put to me that this scripture says that there is no longer prophecy in the church today. However, Jesus prophesied after John, and Paul speaks of prophets in the present-tense from a prison in Rome in AD 62 or 63. John gave us the book of Revelation. If prophecy is dead, when did it die? In Christ Jesus. | ||||||
2 | 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. |

3 | Is prophecy dead? | Matt 11:13 | charis | 110716 | ||
Dear whyndell, Blessings from Yokohama in the name of Jesus. No, my friend, the question IS whether or not prophecy is dead. According to the definition set in 1 Corinthians 14:3 (" But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation."NASB), prophecy is very much alive in any healthy church. Does not your church practice these things? Your definition of requires prophets to write the Bible. I am very well aware that the Scriptural canon is closed, but this does not keep God from speaking to His servants through the Holy Spirit today. Every minister of the Gospel is, by definition, required to bring a fresh, Spirit-inspired word of comfort to the afflicted, a word of hope to the lost, and a word of wisdom to the foolish. Otherwise, we are just repeating religious phrases. You judge and condemn an entire (and significant!) segment of the body of Christ, and accuse them of false witness and speaking for Satan. Shame on you. Though there are some in these groups that have sinned, an equal number of non-Pentecostal-Charismatic souls have sinned before God. Bigotry and self-aggrandizement are not characterstics to be proud of. Blessings and peace to you in Christ Jesus, charis |
