1 | your statement | 1 Cor 12:30 | algumwood | 29373 | ||
joe, i offer that scripture, in order to be beneficial, must be read in context, and in conjunction with the whole Word. it is a mark of immaturity to make a statement such as, "However, I rarely hear anyone telling others to trust God as they pick up the rattlesnake or to believe on God as they drink the bleach. It seems pretty inconsistent to me that one claims to trust God for tongues but doesn't have enough faith to juggle cobras or chug the arsenic." we know we are not to put God to the test, so yes, it would be unwise to intentionally enter into harm's way simply because we are filled by God Spirit. however, testing God by intentionally entering harm's way is hardly the same as desiring/asking for the gift of tongues (this is supported scripturally, as well as by common sense.) i have seen some pretty belittleing comments and generalizations in your posts on this topic - remember that "we are to submit ourselves to one another, as to Christ" and also the fruit of the Spirit includes gentleness. i doubt Christ ever used sarcasm as a means of leading/teaching others. |

algumwood: Welcome to the Forum! The insinuation that Reformer Joe does not read the Scriptures in context or in conjunction with the whole Word is inaccurate, offensive and absurd. Joe is among the top 1 percent of Forum members whose postings are consistently doctrinally sound and based firmly on the Bible. Neither is Joe immature, either doctrinally or spiritually. I have nothing against you personally. Nor am I on the attack here. But I have been reading Joe's postings for almost a year on many Bible subjects. It is neither just nor accurate to accuse him of making belittling comments or of not applying sound principles of Biblical interpretation. Again, I welcome you to the Forum and look forward to reading your postings. I merely caution you that it would be a mistake to underestimate the quality of Reformer Joe's integrity and scholarship. kalos |
