AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:22 Therefore, [unknown] tongues are [meant] for a [supernatural] sign, not to believers but to unbelievers [who might be receptive]; while prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people] is not for unbelievers but for believers. |

Bible Note: pukiedo, Might I ask in the spirit of love and cooperation that you tone down the overt hostility? You are treading on a "doctrinal bias" which has been debated numerous times on this Forum... to no resolve. I would offer Romans 14:1 as our guide "...but not to disputes over doubtful things." This is one of those "doubtful" things with true believers on both sides:-) Part of (spiritual) maturity is to agree to disagree, agreeably! Emotions aside, you will not convince anyone against their will by banter or derision. There is simply no call to accuse Hank of blaspheming the Holy Spirit because he challenges or disagrees with you! That's way out of context. Further, to use the passages from 1 Timothy to support your argument also shows lack of regard for context:-) Finally,when you state " All I ask of the people in this forum is RATHER than blast a doctrine, find out about it's biblical roots." What makes you think fellow Forum members haven't? That's pretty presumptuous, don't you think? You might consider your father's own advice "You have the right to be wrong." The door swings both ways, my sister! Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
