NASB | Ephesians 4:11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 4:11 And [His gifts to the church were varied and] He Himself appointed some as apostles [special messengers, representatives], some as prophets [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as evangelists [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as pastors and teachers [to shepherd and guide and instruct], |
Subject: Are there any true prophets/prophetss' t |
Bible Note: Just because he said they shall case, does not mean it has already ceased. If we say that they are ceased now , then lets read that whole scripture. Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away. So you woul dhave to agree that knowledge is vanished away too? That would be an absurd thought, to think that there is no more knowledge in this world. But if we keep reading, we know that when that which is perfect is come, those things will vanish away. Jesus is perfect, and at the time the author wrote that, Jesus had not yet returned for his church, and he still hasn't today, so that which is perfect has still not come. |
