AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 11:13 "For all the prophets and the Law prophesied up until John. |
Bible Question: It has been put to me that this scripture says that there is no longer prophecy in the church today. However, Jesus prophesied after John, and Paul speaks of prophets in the present-tense from a prison in Rome in AD 62 or 63. John gave us the book of Revelation. If prophecy is dead, when did it die? In Christ Jesus. |
Bible Answer: The question is not whether prophecy is dead- but whether God is still speaking in a revelatory manner- such as declared by the charismatics and pentecostals. If Scripture is closed and God has provided all we need for life and salvation- then why would He continue to "so call" speak to individuals through people?; seeing that these very same people claim to be fallible. God is "no longer" speaking in revelatory manners- the "whole foundation" of the charismatic movement is flawed- every person who claims to speak from God is lying and is actually being prompted by Satan. |
