Subject: Why little sign of power in our churches |
Bible Note: "We are, but you desire a physcial fulfillment, which I do not see as Biblically correct. The Pharisees very much wanted a physical fulfillment as well, but they were corrected." No need to condescend. Your lack of understanding here just keeps you from the deeper things of Christ' teachings. It's evident by your unkind thinking in your remark that you can't separate the physical from the Spiritual. They wanted a king. We expected nothing other than to be redeemed. Jesus gave us the "Promise", an enablement, that we become a son. The Pharisees don't even enter into the picture at this point. Jesus hid what He was doing and was going to do from them but to us He is the same yesterday, today and forever, unless you think He made a midcourse correction and failed to mention His slip up. ------------------------------------------- ...Perhaps you should examine what "ages" mean... "Well, I have, but what is your take on Ages?" No. I asked you. You are the one who believes that the "church age" is somehow stuttering in it's possession of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. I find that it is those who think it ended in 70 a.d. to have the diffficulty in believing the evidence that still exists. No time in history has the power of God been more needed than now and you think it ended when the Apostles died. ---------------------------------------- ...Well I guess you'll have to come up with some scripture to support that theory... "Olivet Discourse plus 1 Cor 13:8." Nonsense. You have to throw out the rest of the Bible to support that view. I'd get a better understanding of what the "promise" is that Jesus and Peter spoke of. John 17:19-21 (NASB) "And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. [20] "I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through THEIR WORD; [21] that they may ALL BE ONE; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me.
