Subject: Are the gifts of the spirit for today? |
Bible Note: Blessings !! I just read your post about the gifts not being in operation today. My first question is, how do we edify the church without them? Without these gifts being utilized how do we come to a unity of faith? Is there a Unity today of faith? Is there a fullgrown man today? You stated because the law is perfect (sighting James) the gifts arent needed. 1Corinthinas says, "...when that which is perfect has come." I am presuming that you believe the canonical scripture as being "that which is perfect". My next question then is what about the 7 thunders mentioned in Revelation? These havent been written about, so how can the scriptures be perfect(complete)? Forgive me for not reading all you have posted, you may have tried to answer these questions in your post. I will read it when I have more time. I just had to reply right away with what I had seen in a quick glance at your post. *Shalom* D |
