Bible Note: Mark, Patience, dear brother. :-) Give me a little time, I'll show how the argument offered was eisegetical. As I said before, even if the conclusion is correct, that alone is not sufficient to justify the mishandling of Scripture. There are many forms of cessationism. The word shouldn't disturb you. We might examine the various viewpoints, including the position on the the other side that holds to extra-biblical revelation. However, we need to be careful not to muddy the waters. Breathe deep, Mark... remember, we deliberate carefully and calmly, being sure we can properly articulate the other person's argument. Then we weight the evidence and decide for ourselves. That isn't a threatening thing. It is a blessed thing! It is a loving thing! Even if we walk away with differing conclusions. We'll have all of eternity where our opinions will be in perfect synchronization! :-) In HIm, Doc |
