Subject: IS TONGUES FOR TODAY? |
Bible Note: Ok, I have talked to some peeps and I have done some studying so here we go! The word "Word" in the Hebrew language is "logos" which means plan. In the begining God had a plan. This plan was to create someone with whom to give the ability of choice. Adam and Eve took this freedom for granted when they sinned meaning they did not chose God. God decides to give this plan a second try, but this time instead of creating this being of choice out of the ground He used a virgin woman to bare a son of which He dwelt. So therefore we see how that this plan has become flesh. There was no Father, Son, and Holy Spirit back in Creation. It was just God. For God is a Spirit (John 4:24) and Jesus Christ, the Son, is the expressed image of God (Hebrews 1:3). How then can this Son be if He were not born yet for He wasnt born until the New Testament? |
