1 | Why no prophets anymore? | 1 Cor 14:5 | Beja | 235855 | ||
EdB, Obviously the hypothetical you have given is way out of bounds. However, in reviewing this thread I have not seen anything at all even remotely like that. Perhaps I have missed something. You hinted at private correspondence at one point. Perhaps the insult was in that. Unless of course you consider the cessassionist view to be inherently offensive itself. Keep in mind that the view by its very nature necessitates assigning the "false prophet" tag to those currently calling themselves prophets in the miraculous sense. To say that a person can not believe that modern "prophets" are false is to actually forbid the cessationist view point. Unless it is directed as a personal attack on somebody on the forum, we have to see it simply as the articulation of the view. Sure, its probably offensive to those who claim the title "prophet," but as you have said, this view is within the bounds of orthodoxy that the forum allows. But again, perhaps I've just missed what you are referring to. In Christ, Beja |

My hypothetical is way out bounds?? How is it so different than this? “Here, then, is the explanation of the babel of tongues which is now heard in Christendom. When the natural man takes it on him to handle the things of God, they are sure to be corrupted. How can those who are devoid of divine grace and in love with sin faithfully communicate the gospel which unsparingly condemns sin?" Basically I see what I consider to be a gift of the Holy Spirt being called babble and a person such as me who speaks in tongues too much of the sinner to be able to handle it. I don't handle “it” I yield my will to the Holy Spirit and He does. Also anything given by God through the Holy Spirit deserves more respect that to be called babble. Even if one considers Pentecostals misguided and driven by emotion to mock a fundamental doctrine of their faith in such a manner is uncalled for on a forum that is visited by people of various theological doctrines. Or do you suggest we begin to mock each other's fundamental doctrines and cast doubts on the others ability to properly handle the word of God given us. I wonder how long the forum would exist with no fights. |

EdB, Peace friend. Perhaps my use of the idiom "way out of bounds" was unclear. I only meant that I would totally agree with you that any such post as your hypothetical example would be quite unwelcome on the forum. Second, as I suggested in my previous post, I apparently missed the quote you are reacting against. I have not seen the statement you quoted, can you give me the post number? In Christ, Beja |

post #235806. But this is just one example of an on going common practice. |

EdB, Well, I'm not sure what to say after looking it over. I can totally understand your taking offense. However, I'm pretty fond of hearing quotes from great Christians of the past, so I don't have an interest in censuring that. The down side of that is that those past Christians are not going to be in agreement with the modern pentacostal movement on any of there distinctive doctrines. Historic Christianity just won't agree with you. In addition, they weren't concerned with being politically correct about it, particularly Pink. So I don't know. I don't blame your reaction, but at the same time I think restricting awesome quotes from the past would be horrible idea. Regardless, my opinion on that issue is irrelevant, I simply thought I owed you a post acknowledging the validity of your taking exception to the post since I had engaged you in this thread about it. God bless, In Christ, Beja |

Notice it's position to Answered queue, the post just below it was mine in a respectable rebuttal to a cessationist post. That might put it all in perspective. |

If you click on home and go down the list of posts. Right now it is post 53 and 54 53 the post I object to and 54 my post. If you follow the no prophets anymore thread you will see how it all fits together. It was intend to be taken by me exactly as I took it. It was to evoke a response that could be faulted and I didn't bite. |

EdB, At least you can understand my confusion. I came late to the thread and clicked on the thread name reading back through the posts to gain the context. From that view it appeared you had simply taken offense to somebody being cessationist. My apologies for the misunderstanding. Though I did say from the start that I felt I must have been missing something. ;) In Christ, Beja |
