Bible Note: Hi John:: Why would the teaching on the Gifts of the Spirit have been written to the Corinthians? Which would have multiplied the amount people that were able to avail themselves of these gifts, and in many cases much younger than the Apostles. Thereby putting the possible end of said gifts into the 2nd. century, and so on with the same teaching from Cor. until we are in todays time sitting on the forum debating wether the Gifts of the Spitit are for today, because there are no scriptures that speak explicidly to this question which is what type of scripture it would have to be, not some vague belief of what something MIGHT be saying. To Quote a venerable poster on this forum if I may. Quote from Doc. "If we aren't told, then all we can do is speculate." That seems to be exactly the thing that the Cessationism perspective is all about. I will take the time to read all of the links Doc has posted, and you have so graciously recomended to Tim, with a completely open mind, as I am sure you would do, were you in my position (:-) In His Love Nevvvvine |
