Subject: 1Corinthians questions: Gifts and women |
Bible Note: It is impossible to examine all the Scriptures you quoted in your theology of tongues. We both know that there are books by scholars on both sides of the issue-I have books in my library by those who hold to speaking in tongues-they can quote the Scriptures to defend their position-I also have books by those who find no biblical support for speaking in tongues. Maybe we should shift the focus-Ask the question of why the Holy Spirit has given spiritual gifts to us-Christians? Maybe what we should be doing is using our spiritual gifts to help other believers in their walk with God. Not think one spiritual gift is better than another-now I do see the gift of proclaiming the teachings of the Bible to be the best gift-but we need all the gifts of the Spirit-I personally see tongues to be not important-but that is my personal conviction-I know there are Christians who disagree with me-in the end we need to love another and serve the Lord-make sure the Lord is the focus and not ourselves. |
