Bible Note: Greetings Tim! Thank you for your response! True, the word "temporary" is not part of any verse, specifically not in 1 Corinthians 12:9 or Hebrews 2:3-4 or any following. But we know that we are not presently experiencing anything near the outpouring of healings today as that which was experienced in the time of Jesus and the apostles. Also, if we are to say that this 'gift of healings' still exists and is given by the Holy Spirit today, would there not also be evidence of that gift in use in the church? Another problem with the position that we have the gift of healings today is 2 Cor. 12:12 and Hebrews 2:3-4. If these 'healing' miracles are not what is being referred to in these verses when they state "the signs of a true apostle," "signs and wonders and mighty works," then what exactly would these phrases in 2 Cor. 12:12 and Hebrews 2:3-4 be referring to, if not to the gifts (and signs) of miraculous healing, which apparently were performed by at least some of the apostles? I appreciate your input, as always! Blessings to you, Makarios |
