21 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | richilou | 10765 | ||
The thing I noticed is that, in reality, we believe the same thing concerning the point you made in your response. But I just wanted to say that even though words are important they are often used in another way that we could have thought. As you said: "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." | ||||||

I am not cessationist when the text is well understood and applied. | ||||||
28 | Holy Spirit baptism and tongues | Mark 9:24 | richilou | 10704 | ||
If you think that all the gibberish (unintelligible sounds) we hear is real tongues as the the word "glossa" means, my friend, you are in trouble. Because be careful about one thing. Many times I heard the same "chalalabadi" in the same sequence and the interpretation was totally different from time to time. So if the tongue was real you must be at least honest enough to say that the gift of interpretation was very poor. Think about that and if you come back on the issue, I will share you an experience the Dr. Don A Carson lived one time in a charismatic church and you will see the point I try to make. | ||||||
29 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | richilou | 10701 | ||
Now, my friend I would like to tell you that you understood well what the person meant by "the head of the Church" without trying to split the hair in four. I think that that persons knew that Christ is the head of the Church, and wanted to say that he is head in the sense of leadership. Let us not think that all christians are ignorant of the truth when they don't use the exact word to express their thought. | ||||||

Good point. | ||||||
31 | Holy Spirit baptism and tongues | Mark 9:24 | richilou | 10690 | ||
I appreciated the fact that you have been helped in your question. But do not forget what I will say here: "For all subjects in the Scriptures, the issue is to find the purpose of the author through the context he used and never be tempted to found your beliefs on such and such experience. Doing that, you'll be wiser to the Glory of God. | ||||||
32 | Holy Spirit baptism and tongues | Mark 9:24 | richilou | 10689 | ||
The fact is that you seem to believe that I am a cessationist, it is NOT the case at all. Do not think that I don't believe in the gift of tongue, otherwise you would have missed all my point. What I try to say and affirm with what I said is that I do not believe in the tongues AS IT IS PRACTISED IN THE PENTECOSTAL AND CHARISMATIC MOVEMENTS OF TODAY. For the rest, God is God and will ever be able to give what He wants to whom He wants. | ||||||
33 | Holy Spirit baptism and tongues | Mark 9:24 | richilou | 10686 | ||
I suggest to you once more to read the book of Dr. Thomas Edgar: "Satisfied by the Promise of the Spirit". You will find in it exactly a chapter dealing of what Paul meant by the "prayer in tongue". I can assure you that you will not be able after to think that there are two things concerning tongue: speaking and praying, as you seem to believe. May God lead you in all the truth according to the TEXT and not according to the EXPERIENCE of yours or others as it is often the case unfortunately. | ||||||
34 | the divinity of Christ | John 1:1 | richilou | 10593 | ||
"Jesus Under Fire!" (Michael J. Wilkins and J.P. Moreland) "The Jesus Crisis" (Robert L. Thomas and F. David Farnell). These 4 men are all solid conservative evangelical scholars). Thank God for their insight. |

And concerning the challenge I posed to the pastor I mentioned earlier in my note. Let me tell you my friend that he had nothing to answer but to admit that he will continue to practice what he had learned in the past. So I told him: "Poor brother, what you are telling me is that your tradition seems more solid than what the the text says. For more informations on the subject with a deep exegesis, I recommend you to read a book written by Thomas Edgar ("Satisfied By The Promise of the Spirit). | ||||||
36 | Holy Spirit baptism and tongues | Mark 9:24 | richilou | 10590 | ||
The only thing I would add to your comments is that when Paul is talking about the language of angels, you must keep in mind that the context is to teach the Corinthians to understand the "goal" of tongues and not the different aspects of what the Spirit can do. And if you read well the text, the goal of Paul is to put the Corinthians on the right track concerning the "GOAL" of tongues which is the edification of the body of Christ. So, I ask you 2 simple questions. 1. How can I edify a church when I pray alone in my room or wherever else? 2. Where do you find elswhere in the whole Bible the concept of "praying in tongue"? Paul taught on the speaking in tongue, and used the prayer in tongue as a point of contact to explain that the practice is not profitable to the "GOAL" of God for the church, because it would be only useful in private (like in a prayer life) and it is exactly why Paul admonished so hard the practice of private goal in neglecting the right goal that was the edification of the other christians. |

37 | Please explain the Trinity. | John 1:1 | richilou | 10583 | ||
If I may another feeble illustration to clarify the concept of the Trinity let me say this. One day, I opened the door to two women of Jehovah's Witnesses (who are the farthest than them in rejecting the trinity?). But, in the providence of God it has been given to me to be face to face with not only two women, but the mother and her daughter. So trying to give them a simple illustration of the trinity (while it is always limited), I asked to the older: "Are you a woman?" She said: "Yes." Then, I asked to the younger: "Are you a woman?" She said yes too. But as a second question I asked them do you notice that while you are both women, you are not the same in your role; one is the mother and one is the daughter. They understood that very well. So I concluded like this. When we say that you are two women, but not the same person at the same time in your role, we make an allusion to your nature (womanhood) and your role (mother-daughter). In the same way, when we, christians say that Jesus is God, we don't mean by that that the Son IS the Father and the Father IS the Son. We say that they are one concerning their nature (divine). It is in that way that John said in his Gospel that the Word was God. Not to say that the Son is the Father or vice versa, but that they are of divine nature, equal in essence, but not confusing each other. It is exactly that in the Creed of the Nicea and Chalcedon as well. | ||||||
38 | the divinity of Christ | John 1:1 | richilou | 10577 | ||
Did you know that the probably next battle that evangelicalism will have to fight against in the next years, will be concerning the divinity of Christ? If you want some books on the subject that can prepare you to stand the trend, I can give you some. | ||||||
39 | Jesus' early years? | Luke 2:52 | richilou | 10576 | ||
In passing, James Stalker is an evangelical christian. | ||||||
40 | but in John's Gospel. | John 3:16 | richilou | 10551 | ||
I think you misinterpreted me with my use of "frank". It was very positive to me to tell you that. Excuse the use of certain words I could choose, because I am a french-speaker first of all. You have not to be easier with me, because you have been all the time until now. | ||||||
