Since the neuter gender of the word “perfect” precludes a reference to a person in I Cor. 13:10, it must refer to an inanimate thing. But what thing is it? Instead of searching for some elusive antecedent which is unstated in the immediate context, let us look more closely at the very sentence in which this word is found. For herein lies our answer. Verses 9-10 together comprise one sentence where a contrast occurs between something that is partial (ek merous) now, but will be complete (teleion) later. That something is precisely stated in the words “we know in part, and we prophesy in part” (vs. 9). Paul was discussing the spiritual gifts of knowing and prophesying God’s will- the proclamation of the gospel by divine inspiration!? Jesus had foretold that the Holy Spirit would guide the apostles into “all the truth” (John 16:13). As this was done little by little over the ensuing years, men could see into the mirror of God’s revelation only as “in a mirror, darkly,” but later they would “know fully” all that God intended to reveal and thus see it clearly or “face to face” (vs. 12). By the time the last apostle died (near the end of the first century), the church had passed through its period of infancy and “put away childish things” (vs. 11) When the Scriptures were completed, the church would be sufficiently protected from doctrinal error so that spiritual gifts would no longer be needed (Eph. 4:8-16)A. nd thus they were done away (I Cor. 13:8). During the remaining centuries until the end of time faith, hope and love have continued on (vs. 13) until eternity dawns when faith and hope are swallowed up in sight and fulfillment (2 Cor. 5:7, Rom. 8:24-25). Meanwhile, let us not put our trust in the temporary spiritual gifts of the past, but in the permanent spiritual qualities of the present. |

Act 2:39 For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. what promise? Act 2:33 Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear. Act 1:4 and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me: Where did God make this promise? Acts 2:16-21 but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel: (17) And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth 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: (18) Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. (19) And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: (20) The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day. (21) And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. "All flesh" equals Jews and Gentiles not necessarily everybody. Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:14-17 Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: (15) who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: (16) for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. (17) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Receiving the gift of the Spirit was not automatic upon baptism. Apostles came from Jerusalem and laid there hands on them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples: All Paul knows about the Ephesians is that they are believers and they've been baptized. He finds out they were wrongly baptized explains to them more fully and: Acts 19:2-6 and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was given. (3) And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism. (4) And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. (5) And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. (6) And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. Bible says the gifts would cease: Ephesians 4:8-13 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. (9) (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? (10) He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) (11) And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; (12) for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: (13) till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: When He ascended He gave gifts (this is also what Acts 2:33 says) The gifts were given to equip the saints Paul stated that these saints "knew in part and prophsied in part" 1 Corinthians 13:9 Gifts to continue "till we all attain the unity of the faith" There will come a time (has come) when complete prophecy and faith. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. (17) That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work. The man of God in the Bible refer to the prophets. The Scriptures as a unit have brought completiom to prophecy and the faith. |

16 | The Law has been nailed to the cross | Col 2:14 | alanh | 171902 | ||
The question may be asked "if the Ten Commandments have been removed, how can Christians oppose worshipping idols, taking the Lord's name in vain, and committing adultery?" Our reasons for not dishonoring God and for not engaging in immoral behavior are not tied to the Ten Commandments, but to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We can know it is wrong to commit adultery, for example--not because Moses wrote in the Ten Commandments--but because what Jesus and the apostles taught (Matt 5:28-29; 1 Cor 6:9-11). The Judaizers among the Galatian churches were seeking to bring Christians under the "yoke of bondage" (Gal 2:4; 5:1). Who can doubt that the yoke of bondage included keeping the Sabbath? The gnostics (or pre-gnostics or incipient gnostics)--teachers who had combined some Christian doctrine w/ Jewish mysticism and Greek philosophy--at Colosse were attempting to bind Sabbath keeping on the church. Paul refuted their false doctrine by arguing that the death of Christ on the cross "blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us" (Col 2:14). Paul then forbad the Colossian Christians from allowing anyone to judge others on the basis of meat, or drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days (Col 2:16). If the Sabbath had been binding on the early Christians would it not have been legitimate and even mandatory yo judge others' faithfulness on the basis of Sabbath keeping? 2 Corinthians 3 provides one of the most powerful arguments concerning the removal of the law of Moses and the institution of the Gospel of Christ. The Corinthians were "manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart" (2 Cor 3:2-3). In using this language, Paul does not intend to deny the inspiration of the Old Testament (or covenant), but to show that it had been removed and the New Testament had been given to bring us to faith in Christ and to obedience to His word. The writer of Hebrews stress the same truth (Hebrews 10:9-10). The law God gave to Israel yhrough Moses included the Ten Commandments which were written "in tables of stone." The Old Testament writers speak only of the Ten Commandments as being written in tables of stone. This fact is very significant as one examines the rest of 2 Corinthians 3. In contrast to the law's being written in tables of stone, the Gospel of Christ is written in "fleshly tables of the heart." Both covenants originated in the mind of God, but the old was temporary and carnal; the new was bound on mankind to the end of the age. "For if that first covenant (or testament: diathéké same word in both contexts) had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second...In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away" (Hebrews 8:7 ,13). If the old covenant were waxing old and ready to vanish away more than 2000 years ago, how could anyone imagine it is still binding on anyone? 2 Corinthians 3 teaches plainly as any passage could that the covenant of God made w/ the Jewish people was better than any law any nation had ever known. But when it served the purpose God sent it to accomplish--"to bring us unto Christ (Galatians 3:24)--it faded away. This does not mean that Christians should not read the Old Testament, but that the precepts and the laws--including the Ten Commandments--are not binding on anyone during the Christian era. |

18 | Age of earth according to bible? | Gen 1:5 | alanh | 171900 | ||
The truth of the matter is that the Bible, being grounded in history, is filled with chronological data that may be used to establish a relative age for the earth. The Bible, for example, provides impressive chronological data from Adam to Solomon. The death of Ahab has been determined to be 853-852 B.C., and terefore the reign of Solomon (forty years, 1 Kings 11:42) can be dated at 971-931 B.C. According to 1 Kings 6:1, 480 years before Solomon's fourth year of reign (967-966 B.C.), Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt. The date of the Exodus is 1446/1445 B.C. To this date is added the years of sojourn in Egypt (215 years), thereby producing the date of 1661 BC as the year Jacob went into Egypt. Interestingly, the Bible records Pharaoh's query of Jacob's age in Genesis 47:9. That age was 130 and that makes the year of Jacob's birth 1791 BC (Gen 25:26). Isaac was 60 when Jacob was born, which would place the birth of Isaac at 1851 BC. Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born, therefore his birh was in 1951 BC. (Gen 21:5). The chronology from Abraham to Adam is recorded in two separate genealogical tables-Genesis 5 and 11. According to Genesis 12:4, Abraham was 75 when he left Haran, presumably after Terah died at 205 years; thus Abraham was born when Terah was 130, albeit he is mentioned 1st by importance when Terah started having sons at the age of 70 (Gen 11:27; 12:4; Acts 7:4) Having est. the birth date of Abraham at 1951 BC, it is possible to work from the time of Adam's creation to Abraham in order to dicern the chronology "of the beginning." The time from the creation of Adam to Seth is 130 years (Gen 5:3), the time from Adam to Noah was 1,056 years, and the time from Noah's birth to the flood was 600 years (Gen 7:6), or 1656 AA (After Adam). Shem was 100 and begat Arphaxad 2 years after the Flood (the earth was not dry for more than a year; cf. Gen 7:11 and Gen 8:14; see also Gen 11:10) in approx. 1659 AA. The Bible indicates that "Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Salah"; however, Luke 3:36 may complement the chronological table of Genesis 11 with the insertion of Cainan between Arphaxad and Salah, which indicates Arphaxad possibly was the father of Cainan. When the ages of the remaining patriarchs in Genesis 11 are considered at the time they begat sons, one observes that Terah was likely born around 2000 AA, and bore Abraham 130 years later (in approx. 2130 AA). Simple arithmatic-1951 BC added to 2130 AA-places the creation date at approx. 4081 BC (give or take a few hundred years) the Flood would have occurred around 2425 BC.
