1 | Gos Can Speak! | 1 Cor 12:3 | teacher@earthsalvation.com | 219283 | ||
1 Cor 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. ___ Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God... "Speaking by the Spirit of God." The "mute idols" of 1 Cor. 12:2 Could not speak. That is what "mute" means_cannot speak. But the spirit of God can speak. Glory to God! He is not a mute like an idol. This was an entirely new experience for the Corinthian believers. Imaging discovering that God can speak. What a wonderful truth of God that is being revealed here. Grasp it. Hang on to it. It is the truth of God's Word! Amen |

Dear teacher, All one would really have to do to discover that God speaks is, read the Bible. It's histories are copiously rife with the truth of God speaking. God speaks throughout the Bible. The Bible starts out with God speaking in Genesis 1:3 ("And God said")... And ends with Him speaking in Revelation 22:20, where Jesus Christ testifies of Himself: "Yes, I am coming quickly." Where, pray tell, does it say in the Scriptures that the Corinthians discovered that God can speak? Pardon me, sir, but the important thing the corinthians discovered was that they were so far out of orthodoxy that, Paul wrote them several chapters admonishing them for being too worldly, and for their idolatrous, drunken, incestuous, childish behaviors and dissension of many kinds. And that they should grow up, and be adults in their thinking. (1 Cor 13:11, 14:20) If you read First Corinthians in context -without putting all your eggs in the "spiritual gifts" basket- you might just see that there is much, much more to be learned here then, child's play.

Hi John, Very interesting post but it appears that even the apostle Paul came to his wits end with the Corinthians according to Chapter 14 in 1 Cor. I think he finally realized that he was beating his head against a brick wall and that the Corinthian were going to be lead by their emotions instead of knowledge of Bible doctrine no matter what. 1 Cor. 14:36-38 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 38But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. One can only try for so long to point out truth, CDBJ |

CDBJ, Yes, and unfortunately I believe if Paul were to visit some congregations today, he'd sadly find the same thing. :-( I guess some are just going to continue to insist that they will remain ignorant babies, only interested in selfishly edifying themselves :-( John |
