Subject: Why little sign of power in our churches |
Bible Note: Ken, Firstly, I didn't mean any offense in my past post. Sorry if it came across like that. I'm not trying to condescend anyone. I take this very seriously. So let us continue. ...It's evident by your unkind thinking in your remark that you can't separate the physical from the Spiritual... Preterism DOES seperate the two. WE are sown natural, and we are raised spiritual. Just like the Bible says. ..We expected nothing other than to be redeemed.. Exactly. ...You are the one who believes that the "church age" is somehow stuttering in it's possession of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit... No, I'm a Preterist, I believe in the ultimate Glory of it. PreMills or Disps believe that the Chruch Age ends in defeat, I do not. ...I find that it is those who think it ended in 70 a.d. to have the difficulty in believing the evidence that still exists... I really don't see much evidence though, jibber jabber and being slain in the spirit aren't evidence to me. ...No time in history has the power of God been more needed than now and you think it ended when the Apostles died... Speculation. Christianity is spread throughout the world today. This wasn't always so. In the 1st century both Rome and the Jews persecuted the Church. As for my take on Ages, there's only two in the Bible. That's it. There's no Church Age, Tribulation Age, Millenial Age, and then Eternal Age. That's too many ages and is not Biblical. ..."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... It's apt. You asked how spiritual gifts like prophecy could be gone, that's how. ...John 17:19-21 (NASB)Try reading this chapter again, for the first time... Yes, beautiful passage. And not counter to Preterism or "gifts" ceasing. Take care, SUEDE |
