81 | Is tongues a matter of fact? | 1 Cor 14:5 | Aspilos | 55995 | ||
Again, you are wrong my friend. You say in Acts 10:47, "only those who believed and were informed were present." Fact is, as I have already told you, it is obvious that they DID NOT BELIEVE that this Gospel was for the Gentiles. You see, they were, "astonished" for that very reason. So, through the Gentiles speaking with tongues, the Holy Spirit SIGNified to them that receiving the Holy Ghost was even for the likes of a Gentile, guiding them you might say, in the right direction and shining a light upon their understanding. 1 Cor. 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a SIGN, not to them that believe, but TO THEM THAT BELIEVE NOT: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. Again, tongues is not an, "evidence" mainly because it is not scriptural. And as you have already acknowledged, because it can be imitated. You seem to be avoiding my quesions, so I guess I'll just have to repeat them each time. If someone is devious enough to pretend that they are speaking with tongues, does that mean they have received the Holy Ghost? I'm not accusing anyone, but we live in an evil day and it's not impossible. Don't avoid this question. It is important. Is the very sound of someone speaking in tongues, "evidence" that they have received the Holy Ghost? I think we both know the answer to that question. I Cor 14:21-22 explains clearly the purpose of speaking with tongues. That includes your example of Acts 10:47. As for you accusing me of being an accuser, if I name a denomination for you, then an accuser I would be, no? I have no desire to personally attack anyone, but I do believe in attacking a lie. God Bless! Aspilos |

Hello retxar, If I didn't know any better I would think you were starting to take a liking to me. Without a doubt, we are just spinning our wheels now. Without scripture, you're not likely to convince me that speaking with tongues is an, "evidence" and it's obvious that you're not planning on changing your view either. You ended with a good verse, but you cut it short my friend. God Bless! Aspilos I Cor. 14 21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. |

83 | Are modern services merely a tradition? | 1 Cor 14:29 | Aspilos | 60497 | ||
Are modern church services merely a tradition? Whether you're Catholic or Protestant and the services are conducted by a priest or a preacher, one thing seems the same. Most often, one person will deliver a message to the congregation, and that said without dispute. So what about, "let the others pass judgment?" Does anyone really do that? KJV 1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, rethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. |

Searcher, I'm not sure that I agree with your statement about two or three prophets speaking being part of the problem, although it may be a problem with the way services are conducted today. Paul actually seems to be in favor of it by saying, "Let two or three prophets speak..." Perhaps it would be better than one person dictating to the people. You are absolutlely correct in saying that we'd better pay attention. Speaking of the Bereans, Acts 17:11 says that that they were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Why are speakers insulted today when someone questions their message? Even Paul went through this, yet he apparently found these people to be, "of more noble character." Today, not many will consider you doing a good thing if you question the preacher. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

prayon, thanks for your reply. Indeed we should search to see if what the speaker says is true, but what if it isn't? Should we speak up and question that person or let it go and let all the listeners fall prey to his error? Bendiciones! Aspilos |

86 | Mount Sinai or Zion? | Heb 12:22 | Aspilos | 56884 | ||
prayon, what or where is the new Jersalem? You say that the redeemed of the Lord will live there with Christ. I'm not saying that I disagree, but I would be curious to know what scripture you use for your emphasis. | ||||||

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |

89 | How can there be 1000 yrs of reign? | Rev 20:7 | Aspilos | 122003 | ||
How can there be 1000 yrs of reign on earth after the coming of the Lord? Doesn't this scripture contradict that idea? 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, |

Surely you're not saying that this is in reference to a thousand year millenium. I believe he is clearly referring to the Lord's patience. Peter states that some will say this... 2 Peter 3:4 Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. If you're saying the day of the Lord is a process that will take a thousand years, I believe the next verse contradicts that too. 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. These verses indicate that "all things [will] continue as they were from the beginning of the creation" and then "the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night" This is also in agreement with the Lord Jesus. Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Brad, what I'm wondering is, how can anything take place on earth after the coming of the Lord? According to the verse above, "the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat". A few verses before this, he states that people will begin to doubt the promised coming because it has been so long and things are still going as they always have. Jesus in the gospel of Matthew also describes his coming in comparison to the days of Noah. That people would be living life as normal right up till the time of destruction. Except scripture makes it clear that the second time it will be destroyed with fire. bendiciones! Aspilos |

94 | Is the new Jerusalem the chruch? | Rev 21:2 | Aspilos | 56939 | ||
J.Wishart, Thank you for your reply. You said, "i find this part is particularly detailed and can not really find any reason to consider it not to be real..." Even if it is symbolic of the church, would it not be symbolic of something, "real?" Why is the holy city said to be, "prepared as a bride adorned for her husband?" Also, why in verses 9-10 does the angel say to John, "Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife" and John continues saying that, "And he [the angel] carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God?" God Bless! Aspilos |
