Subject: your statement |
Bible Note: joe, i offer that scripture, in order to be beneficial, must be read in context, and in conjunction with the whole Word. it is a mark of immaturity to make a statement such as, "However, I rarely hear anyone telling others to trust God as they pick up the rattlesnake or to believe on God as they drink the bleach. It seems pretty inconsistent to me that one claims to trust God for tongues but doesn't have enough faith to juggle cobras or chug the arsenic." we know we are not to put God to the test, so yes, it would be unwise to intentionally enter into harm's way simply because we are filled by God Spirit. however, testing God by intentionally entering harm's way is hardly the same as desiring/asking for the gift of tongues (this is supported scripturally, as well as by common sense.) i have seen some pretty belittleing comments and generalizations in your posts on this topic - remember that "we are to submit ourselves to one another, as to Christ" and also the fruit of the Spirit includes gentleness. i doubt Christ ever used sarcasm as a means of leading/teaching others. |
