Bible Question (short): First Question |
Question (full): Hey Brother John If we could, I'd like to take this one point at a time. If that's ok with you, here's my first question. Mark 16:17 caused you a great deal of trouble because you never saw it fulfilled in the lives of saints today. If you had seen it fulfilled in the lives of saints today, do you think your views would be different? I too wonder when I see something in scripture but then I don't see it in the lives of believers. Or the way I like to say it: 'When my life does not line up with scripture'. When my life does not line up with scripture, does that mean 'it's not GOD's will' or 'that went away with the early church'? I do not believe so. I have heard that explaination before, 'that went away with the early church'. I want to be sure I am not making excuses for why 'this or that' isn't manifested in my life when scripture says 'this or that' should be manifested in my life. After this point is exhaused, I'd like to talk about Mark 16:17 and it's connection to the gifts of the spirit. May you dwell in the secret place of the Most High. Abba Father bless and keep you. btw, just to let you know, I grew up in a Baptist church and still go to one. |
