AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:28 So God has appointed and placed in the church [for His own use]: first apostles [chosen by Christ], second prophets [those who foretell the future, those who speak a new message from God to the people], third teachers, then those who work miracles, then those with the gifts of healings, the helpers, the administrators, and speakers in various kinds of [unknown] tongues. |
Subject: what about doing the work Jesus did ? |
Bible Note: Hi John: Just a thought. 13) Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. You use this verse to say Paul was sick,it says infirmity, then we go to verse 14, where he makes a statement to them about how they didn't despise him or reject him. If he was sick as you suppose, then why would they,despise him, reject him. Unless it was the Plague.Can you explain verse 14.If not , then you cannot make that kind of an assumption as to his being sick. 14) And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. Exodus 4:10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. I can make an assumption and say I believe Paul had a Stutter, as it is also believed Moses had, I would rather believe they were both slow of speech.It makes more sense when we read about the despising, and rejecting. Perhaps your right, and he was leprous, then all would be explained. But alas it only says Infirmity. Ps. I know you will ask so, where Paul tells Timothy, to drink a little wine,Timothy could have been having stomach trouble from eating the foods in that area, ie. heartburn. There isnt any need for that to be prayed for. Is there? Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |
