1 | 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 |

2 | Is prophecy dead? | Matt 11:13 | kalos | 1731 | ||
"Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven." Matt 12:31 (ASV 1901) . . . CAUTION: The blasphemy against the Holy Spirit consists in ascribing to Satan the work of the Holy Spirit (compare Matt 12:24). Sir, I am not saying that is what you have done. Nor am I saying that you are either completely right or completely wrong. In fact, I do not believe you are entirely wrong. So I do not judge either you or your comment. I merely point out that none of us would want to be guilty of ascribing to Satan the work of the Holy Spirit. |
