1 | your statement | 1 Cor 12:30 | tuli | 28971 | ||
Brother Joe, I think the first question I should ask is, what is a prophet? What does it mean, to prophesy? The Spirit of God rests upon his people for a purpose. Luke 11:13 we can even ask for the Holy Spirit. Now, Paul says, covet the greater gifts! I am no theologian, I believe what I read and trust the Holy Spirit to help me understand [Jn 14:26] and praise God if He chooses to use a man to help me understand. But, I believe first. Mat 7:7 and many many other verses tell me that if I ask I will receive. However James tells me why I do not receive, actually James is great for this subject. If I am at Gal. 2:20 and therefore 1 Cor 2:16, then I should have no worries here! I trust that all in this service are Christians after Christ, however, thanks for pointing out that some may not have godly motives yet, I believe the best for the one that asked the question, I believe she or he has no ill intentions. Joe, love covers a multitude of sins, in LOVE correct others. God is LOVE 1 Jn 4:8. I Cor 13:13. God's people everywhere have their faults, the apostles did, maybe you don't, and that is great. Now, be as Christ and love the unlovable. We are body of christ, even those you call radicals. God knew exactly what He was getting into when He called us, He will lead us to Glory!! Amen? I love you Brother, because I love Christ. The Good Lord Bless you. |

2 | why desire faith, healing, miracles, etc | 1 Cor 12:30 | wdc | 29005 | ||
tuli, Why wouldn't desire the gift of wisdom, faith, healing, miracles or discernment, so I could be a blessing and a help to other people instead of tongues? It seems to me that the main reasons given by those today for the desireing the gift of tongues is to build up oneself, I could use the other gifts to help others. Isn't that what the gospel is about and why Jesus came, to help others? later...wdc |

3 | why desire faith, healing, miracles, etc | 1 Cor 12:30 | retxar | 29010 | ||
I think it would be wise to accept any gift God desired to give us, and not turn our nose up at any, even tongues. To do otherwise is to say we know more than the Holy Spirit, as it is His determination, not ours (1Co 12:11). retxar |
