Bible Note: Hello, a2b; Just out of curiosity, can you show where the Bible says we get to choose our gifts? Or that there is any gift that all believers are given? I think the references already given support the notion that gifts are distributed as God wills, not as we will, and that there is no one gift common to all. I certainly don't mean to challenge your gift or even your discovery of it. But I would caution you against generalizing from your own experience. It's easy to imagine Peter, James, and John getting the idea that the only "true" disciples were those who were present at the Transfiguration. But they had Jesus to show them that their experience was uniquely theirs and not a standard by which to measure others. We have the Bible which serves the same purpose. Peace and grace and a blessed and merry Christmas, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
