AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

Bible Note: Post 3 of 3. Tim, you say, “There is not a single verse that say the gifts would cease with the complete of the canon.” To that, I offer this: 1 Cor 13 “8Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.” I’ve learned it is acceptable to substitute “complete” for “perfect.” Now, who among us is going to say that the written New Testament is NOT complete knowledge and prophecy? For convenient reference, I’ve pasted the text here from I Cor 12 which shows the 9 spiritual gifts: “7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same[2] Spirit, 10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” |
