1 | Why little sign of power in our churches | Mark 16:17 | Ken hepting | 93416 | ||
"We are, but you desire a physcial fulfillment, which I do not see as Biblically correct. The Pharisees very much wanted a physical fulfillment as well, but they were corrected." No need to condescend. Your lack of understanding here just keeps you from the deeper things of Christ' teachings. It's evident by your unkind thinking in your remark that you can't separate the physical from the Spiritual. They wanted a king. We expected nothing other than to be redeemed. Jesus gave us the "Promise", an enablement, that we become a son. The Pharisees don't even enter into the picture at this point. Jesus hid what He was doing and was going to do from them but to us He is the same yesterday, today and forever, unless you think He made a midcourse correction and failed to mention His slip up. ------------------------------------------- ...Perhaps you should examine what "ages" mean... "Well, I have, but what is your take on Ages?" No. I asked you. You are the one who believes that the "church age" is somehow stuttering in it's possession of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. I find that it is those who think it ended in 70 a.d. to have the diffficulty in believing the evidence that still exists. No time in history has the power of God been more needed than now and you think it ended when the Apostles died. ---------------------------------------- ...Well I guess you'll have to come up with some scripture to support that theory... "Olivet Discourse plus 1 Cor 13:8." Nonsense. You have to throw out the rest of the Bible to support that view. I'd get a better understanding of what the "promise" is that Jesus and Peter spoke of. John 17:19-21 (NASB) "And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. [20] "I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through THEIR WORD; [21] that they may ALL BE ONE; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me. Try reading this chapter again, for the first time...Take care |

Ken, Firstly, I didn't mean any offense in my past post. Sorry if it came across like that. I'm not trying to condescend anyone. I take this very seriously. So let us continue. ...It's evident by your unkind thinking in your remark that you can't separate the physical from the Spiritual... Preterism DOES seperate the two. WE are sown natural, and we are raised spiritual. Just like the Bible says. ..We expected nothing other than to be redeemed.. Exactly. ...You are the one who believes that the "church age" is somehow stuttering in it's possession of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit... No, I'm a Preterist, I believe in the ultimate Glory of it. PreMills or Disps believe that the Chruch Age ends in defeat, I do not. ...I find that it is those who think it ended in 70 a.d. to have the difficulty in believing the evidence that still exists... I really don't see much evidence though, jibber jabber and being slain in the spirit aren't evidence to me. ...No time in history has the power of God been more needed than now and you think it ended when the Apostles died... Speculation. Christianity is spread throughout the world today. This wasn't always so. In the 1st century both Rome and the Jews persecuted the Church. As for my take on Ages, there's only two in the Bible. That's it. There's no Church Age, Tribulation Age, Millenial Age, and then Eternal Age. That's too many ages and is not Biblical. ..."Olivet Discourse plus 1 Cor 13:8." Nonsense. You have to throw out the rest of the Bible to support that view. I'd get a better understanding of what the "promise" is that Jesus and Peter spoke of... It's apt. You asked how spiritual gifts like prophecy could be gone, that's how. ...John 17:19-21 (NASB)Try reading this chapter again, for the first time... Yes, beautiful passage. And not counter to Preterism or "gifts" ceasing. Take care, SUEDE |

"Yes, beautiful passage. And not counter to Preterism or "gifts" ceasing. Take care" Gee. I must remind myself of this the next time I hear my aged friend who, without an education, speaks the most beautiful Mandrin Chinese as the Holy Spirit gives him utterance. |
