Bible Note: FTimA- I see in your profile you believe denominationalism is of the devil. Does that mean anyone who is not of the denomination you believe is of the devil? If that is your theory, I question whether this is the place for you. There are other viewpoints on many denominational issues in this forum, and those of us who have been involved in the forum have respect for each other and their denominational disagreements. The main thing we will be judged on is our belief in Jesus Christ and that is the MAIN purpose of the forum, I believe. The other is to give clarity to scripture. If you belong to a particular church, you probably believe in what the prevailing attitude in that church believes scripture to mean. You will find different viewpoints here, and respect is given for others, as long as Jesus Christ is glorified. I can find disclaimers for everything you have written (look up tongues in the search box) but no one who doesn't believe it is written for today will believe, just as no one who does believe will agree with what you have said. And, ultimately, will it make a difference? You say none are active today, I say they all are active. Prophesying does not have to be a foretelling, but something the Lord feels the church needs to hear today, something in agreement with His word that is relevent to that particular time that needs to be addressed. If tongues, at that time, was a known language, why would they need an interpreter? And when the perfect is come, - I haven't seen yet. The perfect is when we are seeing the Lord face to face. Then the cloudiness will be gone. debbie |
