Subject: Why little sign of power in our churches |
Bible Note: Just curious if you are referring to 1 Cor 13:8 were paul writes and says the tongues, prophecy, and knowledge will cease but Agape love won't cease? Because if that is the verse you are referring to, you are taking out of context because in verse 10 it says "but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away." We live far from a perfect world. Perfection won't come until Jesus our Lord and Savior comes back to sit on the throne of David. The word perfect could also be rendered there as "complete". I went to a baptist church who believed strongly that the gifts have ceased. The pastor told me that verse means completion of the Bible. But when I read it I don't see the word bible there any wheres and another thing is that they had the word of god first hand they had the apostles who heard from Jesus himself the Word Also no wheres does it ever read healings will cease. One more thing in Revelation 19:10 It says that the testimony of Jesus Christ IS the spirit of prophecy. If prophecy has ceased you would also have to say that Jesus' testimony has also ceased since it is the spirit of prophecy. One more thing people who believe the gifts have not ceased aren't all charsmatic. I do not believe that Satan or another spirit will heal the afflicted and bring people to Jesus, only the Holy Spirt can and will do that. If you read the book of Acts you will find that the book doesn't end. It doesn't end because we are in the book of Acts. |
