Subject: Am I ignorant |
Bible Note: "But it will take a commitment to do some study with an open mind." "with an open mind" As Mark Twain said, "I'm not repeating myself, I'm quoting myself." :-) No one is trowing the baby out with the bath-water or denying that God gifts His Children today, or that He does not still move in miraculous ways. And there is NO shortage of Scripture on this subject as you have seen at the links you visited, but one has to know and be willing to apply them, instead of just looking for something to argue about or make fun of. I certainly don't see anything "hilarious" about any of this. Your claim that there is no Scripture to back this up is quite unwarranted; perhaps some are just unwilling to apply it? Tim, I would take you up on your challenge, but I already know plenty about this doctrine espoused by some, and learned it from those who are quite qualified to express it. But thanks anyway Tim. Again, no one is saying that God does not move in giving gifts, or moving in miraculous ways today, we here all seem to agree on that, so please, stop injecting that into your argument or accusing others of saying that. :-( God bless John |
