Subject: Two prophets? |
Bible Note: Dear Jensen, As a resident of the New Testament, I tend to put all things in that perspective. Though some may see the Old Testament as rigid and without tolerance or grace, I see it differently. The Law is indeed firm, and *apparently* without leniency, but in reality, God practiced grace from the Book of Genesis. My witness is God's gracious dealings with His chosen servants from the early days of recorded history. Therefore, though the Law is our tutor, setting a standard of absolute perfection, the love and grace of the Lord has always been our bulwark. As Paul so clearly spoke, we cannot *depend* upon this love as an excuse for sin, but we CAN completely trust in His salvation. I cannot condemn the actions of any Christian except a clear and obvious case of denying the Holy Spirit. I would not want to be in the shoes of a false teacher, but I do not hold the command of their condemnation. As to our brother and colleague, prophet ezra brown, I do not consider his ideas of prophecy to be solely Old Testament in nature. I am familiar with many types of Christian *religion,* and I see that our forum fellow does uphold many aspects of New Testament prophecy. Though I might disagree with him on style and format, I would imagine that in his fellowship the saints are encouraged in their faith by his message. You may see it as false, but then again, I don't know the style and format of prophecy in YOUR fellowship. :-) Indeed, we shall meet again! Until that time I remain your friend in Christ Jesus, charis In Christ Jesus, charis |
