Bible Note: Hello Steve, Amen brother, and thanks. I don't think I missed that point in your first post, i.e. being mindful of what the gifts were given for in the first place. I thought you did a good job of getting that across. at least I think this is what you are saying i.e. to prove without a doubt that Jesus was/is the Christ, and that the apostles were his chosen to preach the gospel of salvation. And please don't misunderstand me, I wasn't saying that Paul had the gift of healing, as I don't believe that is something that 'anyone' can take hold of, because it is God that does the healing, and always did, and always will. And please note that I didn't answer the questions, but I had thought that they would provoke the right answers. I guess I didn't do so well on that one. I didn't miss the gist of the verse, I just didn't do a very good job of getting the point across, as I had thought that the verse had done a good enough job on its own. And may I say that I greatly appreciate your desire to deepen my understanding, I'm proud to know you my friend. I also agree wholeheartedly that matt 28:20 is sadly neglected. However, I do believe that if we are preaching the Gospel, and proclaiming it with joy, that the other ranks 2'd. I do, and I will always, put the preaching of the good news of Jesus Christ and what He did on the Cross number one, and I believe, if we don't do that, then the rest is for nothing. Thanks again brother, and may I add, I agree with what was said about the 3,000 on the day of Pentecost that heard and believed being one of the (greater works) that Jesus was talking about. Sorry I don't remember who posted that, but I agree totally with that statement. And I would like to add that I too share your joy, in sharing and learning God's word with my brothers and sisters, it is indeed an honor and a privilege. Thank you, to all. God bless. John |
