Bible Note: I have actually found this whole discussion very interesting. The more I have read on Cessationism, the more I have found that they can't even agree on what they believe. Scriptural proof is lacking for Cessationism view point. I have read the various study notes in Zondervan Study Bible, ESV Study Bible, read several different commentaries, three different Bible dictionaries, and I don't know how many different websites. I have also ordered books, on the topic (which they haven't arrived yet). So far, I see nothing making Cessationism the correct interpretation, except for the fact that you want to try to limit God. Are people still being healed today? Yes! The hardest part for me is to remembering the last part of 1 Peter 3:15 -gentleness and respect. At this I'm sure I have failed. As we are all guilty of, some time our passions for defending the Word overwhelms the last part of the scripture. I will continue to read and research and most importantly pray about the issue, but for now I will continue to believe and live in a life that is Spirit filled and active in Christ. Brad |
