Doc, On this point, I think I have to disagree with you. I do believe that the spiritual gifts in the Bible are alive and still should be in practice today. Many today have come to abuse these gifts and falsely use them. I think you are correct, when anything is being presented as a message from God, it has to be put through the highest degree of discernment. If any part of the message doesn't line up with the Biblical truth, it should be disregarded. Does God still speak to His people today? YES! Will He ever say anything contrary to His Word? NO! Our dependency should be on Christ, not the miracles or gifts, these are blessings. Brad |

Hi Lionheart:: if everyone believes that the ("Gospel of Salvation") must be preached unto all the world then the end shall come then the gifts that were available to the 1st. century church must still be available to the 21st. century church simply on the grounds that there are still churches being set up even as we speak.So is there not still a need for all of the gifts? In His Love Nevvvvine |

Newwine, Good day to you. There are allot of arguments and divisons over this very subject. Thats why it has become and is important to study and observe things within the context in which they were written. Doing this will often put these kind of things to rest. In reference to your statement about the gifts being available to the 21st century church today I would ask how this stands in light of 1 Corinthians 12 and 13:9,10. Not trying to cause controversey but we need to let The Word speek and it does. Applying the 4 W's and the H will really help allot too. In Him, lionheart |

Hi lionheart:: To me as far as I am concerned if the gifts were to stop at the end of what has been called the Apostolic age ie, 1st. cenruty. Then there would logically be scripture to tell us in the 21st. century that we have no need to seek after the gifts of the spirit because they have ended. But as we can clearly see in scripture it does not say anything of the kind. What you and others are proposing is. Because it does not explicitally say that the gifts will end then they must have ended. So it is not what truth is in scripture anymore that counts. It is what is not in scripture that carries the weight of truth. Let me ask you if you will. This belief that you have were you taught it as doctrine. Or did God himself by his Holy Spirit open your eyes to the fact that His gifts to the church have ceased to exist. Does the (BODY) of Christ still exist then are we not to have the same vibrance as a body that existed in the 1st. century are we not to be a be a light to the world? 1 Cor.12:--13:9-10 So your saying the perfect has come and the gifts are done away with. Just what is the perfect? Sounds like a good example of a Proof Text to me except you have neglected to explain to me what your saying with these scriptures. I guess I am supposed to pull out of the scriptures you have used your understanding of them. You say: "we need to let The Word speek and it does." Are there other places where The Word speaks to this issue? To put to rest any worries that you might have. I always read in context. In Him Nevvvvine |
