Bible Question:
Dear Whyndell, (PROPHET.) "One who is divinely inspired to communicate God's will to His people and to disclose the future to them." (New Unger's Bible Dictionary) I am sorry, I did not make part of my question clear. The scripture from Matthew 11 is talking about John the Baptist. Some use this as a proof that prophets and prophecy were invalidated after John (the Baptist) died. My point was that AFTER John (the Baptist) died, Jesus continued to prophesy, John (the apostle) continued to prophecy, Paul spoke of prophecy in the present tense, and "Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message." Acts 15:32 NASB. If prophecy is dead, when did it die? It seems that you have a problem with those who believe in the present-day validity of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Or , more correctly, certain gifts. It also seems that your judgment is based on the abuse you have seen. This is flawed logic. "I have not met a balanced Charismatic, so there are no balanced Charismatics." By the way, I am not Charismatic. Period. I am not Pentecostal, either. Your 'facts' are bigotry. Also, the first widely documented restoration of the gifts of the Holy Spirit was in Wales over 100 years ago. Soon after, the Pentecostal movement started in the United States. Please answer the question using scripture, not sentiment. Blessings in Christ Jesus. |
Bible Answer: Charis why would you refer to 100 years ago,and of nessesity call it the (restoration ) .restoration of what if the prophets and apostles never left??? by the way you never showed me that there was more than twelve apostles I just think its time you get in and find things out for yourself, rather than bying into some one elses teaching, including mine I can prove everything I say with scripture if you cant use what you call deductive reasoning properly Im sorry. How about a scripture that says that there will be new super apostle and prophets in the last days.You see the bible teachs that there will be a great falling away not a great restoration.love in CHRIST RCscroll |
