Subject: Isn't Prophecy a Spiritual Gift? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, In humbleness and my disbelief of what I keep seeing and hearing, I will again repeat Luke 16:16. Please note Jesus says "every man". every is defined as - being each individual or part of a group without exception. Luke 16:16 - The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and everyman presseth into it. When I am proven wrong, I admit it and move on. I was trying to think of a word for people that don't concede and was led to Jeremiah and I was saddened for how Jeremiah must have felt as he was reaching out for people to help themselves. Jer 7:26 - Yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. Jer 7:27 - Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. Jer 7:28 -But thou shalt say unto them, "This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth." 1Cor 8:7 - Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 1Cor 8:8 - But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 1Cor 8:9 - But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1Cor 8:10 - For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols? 1Cor 8:11 - And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died. 1Cor 8:12 - But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1Cor 8:13 - Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. Ecc 3:18 - I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. I am a beast in the flesh and can admit it in humility of Faith, Hope and Love within the sincerity of my heart. IN Humbleness and Hope I write these words, Peace, casiv |
