Bible Note: I posted to this earlier, but I think I put it in the wrong place, so I'll write it again so it can be part of the active conversation. This is what I think: The "perfect" in my opinion is identified in Ephesians 4:11-16. The perfecting is when we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, "to a perfect man", to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. This, unity in faith, is the answer on the fleshly level. The spiritual and individual level of perfection is a new and glorified body in the resurrection. (Phillipians 3:11-12) It is my "opinion" that the gifts are still for today. There is no scripture suggesting that the gifts will pass away barring "perfection," as stated earlier in this exchange. I do not think the body of Christ has been perfected. There are too many people misguided, and there are too many divisions in the church to believe there is unity in faith. The problem with the gifts is not their availability to us today, but the selflessness it requires to be worthy of such gifts. Until we relearn humility, selflessness, and self sacrifice, we will never see clear to the faith it takes to perform such miracles. This is my opinion on the matter. |
