Subject: Why little sign of power in our churches |
Bible Note: Ken, ...What SUEDE wrote, "but I have never seen a Biblical proof from them past 70 AD. Gifts were for the early Church and ceased, just like Paul said they would. Take care," What Ken wrote "Hmmm. Last time I looked 'Knowledge' was a gift. ...Lets see... then there is "Faith". Hmmm??... Let's deal with faith first. Faith is gift like grace, quite different then tongues or prophecy, and not what people would be speaking about if they were referring to spiritual gifts. Knowledge mentioned in 1 Cor 13:8 seems to coincide with what Paul wrote earlier in 1 Cor 1:20 which is the wisdom of that Age; an Age that would shortly be passing. Paul writes that wisdom of that Age, or the Age he was still in, was foolish. It makes sense then that it is that type of knowledge or wisdom that would be passing. It makes zero sense to assume that intelligence will pass, or would have passed, with the coming of Christ. That particular portion in 13:8 has boggled Theologians as the passing of "knowledge" or wisdom doesn't make sense in any Age, before or after the Return of Christ. Most likely Paul meant the knowledge, or wisdom of the Age they were fixing to come out of. However, if you have a take on knowledge passing I'd be more then willing to hear it. Take care, SUEDE |
