Subject: Age of Miracles - Past or Present |
Bible Note: I see your point, but don't you think God knew from the beginning of the Apostolic age that to give certain members in the Body "the gifts of healing" (1 Cor.12:9) or "the working of miracles" (v.10) might result in "worshipping such beings," as you say? Is the solution, remove the gift to avoid such improper worship, or instead, give immediate and adequate rebuke and counsel, as Peter did in Acts 10:26? Should the eye be blind so that it does not receive too much appreciation? I fear this thinking leads to the total removal of ANY man having ANY particular gift that is supernatural or miraculous, including knowledge and wisdom. That's like shooting the dog because he may have fleas. Phil |
