Subject: Who decided that the extraordinary gifts |
Bible Note: 1) Well it depends, do you consider raising a person from the dead a healing or you looking for a scripture that says ‘raise a person from the dead’? 2) Nope. 2CO 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. If you read the story of Lazarus, verse 45 leads you to the possibility because of the raising of Lazarus people believed in Jesus. JN 11:45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him. I agree with you that many people will seek the signs and the gifts, but not the giver of them. The signs/gifts are for glorifying God, but as you noted, has been abused and miss used to gain self-recognition and gain, not only in today’s society, but throughout history. I would not want to be one of those people on judgment day that has taken the glory for themselves. You follow brother in Christ, Brad |
