1 | Why no prophets anymore? | 1 Cor 14:5 | escar.smith@yahoo.com | 235868 | ||
I believe the subject of 1 Corinthians 14: is languages,If a preacher or evangelist goes to a foreign country and don't speak their language he better take an interpreter or they won't even know when to say amen,all the prophets are listed in the bible, 1 Corinthians 12:28 Concerning gifts, And God hath set some in the church, First apostiles,secondarily prpohets,thirdly teachers,after that miracles,then gifts of healing, helps,governments,diversities of tongues. Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions,and your old men shall dream dreams:As Paul is teaching spiritual gifts are give to who ever God says deserves them. I hope this helps thanks again, and God bless. |

Escar, No, I'm afraid I'm not understanding how anything you said helps your position. First, I think you have failed to deal with 1 Corinthians 14. You have dismissed it as applying to translators for missions. However this has two serious faults. 1. You only addressed tongues, not prophecy. 2. Paul specifically singles this out for the church. 1 Corinthians 14:19 Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. Now this was said in context of comparing prophecy with tongues. And again he says... 1 Corinthians 14:5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the CHURCH may be built up. Clearly the prophecy is in and for the church, not foreign advancement. So I think you have failed to address the text successfully. Now that being said, I am ok with that. I don't need help solving this dilemma because I don't share your presupposition that John was the last prophet. In fact I don't see how I could possibly affirm that while at the same time affirming that Christ is my prophet, priest, and king. For Christ came after John. I merely pointed you to a passage with which you ought to wrestle with and have an answer in your own mind given your theological position regarding John. Since you seem to have your mind settled with regards to 1 Corinthians fourteen then all is well. I don't need to understand. My theological position needs no answer for it. In Christ, Beja |
