Subject: Age of Miracles - Past or Present |
Bible Note: By the way, Welcome to the Forum, it's always good to see newcomers. I have to agree with you, this is one of the toughest verses in the Bible and one of the most controversial. I guess like it's been stated by many in past, it all comes to a point as to the meaning of just is "that which is Perfect." In my opinion, that discussion is pretty well cited on the Forum and you've seen my opinion. My question to you here would be, What do we use as a "yardstick" to measure these modern day miracles, speaking in tongues, faith healing and all other miraculous powers? Naturally, most everyone responds with "Well of course, silly, we should use the Bible" but I'd like to nail it down to specifics. How would you descibe a modern day miracle so we could be assured that it truly does come from God and not as a figment of someone's imagination? God does expect us to test the spirits to see if they really are the real McCoy. Take for example, speaking in tongues, how do we determine if it is truly is a God given gift, a miraculous power? God bless. Rowdy |
