Bible Question:
Greetings Rowdy! We have been having a lot of discussion lately on the forum about things that are and are not actually stated in Scripture. You wrote: "Yes, my friend, we do live in an age of miracles but directly from God to the recipient, no human 3rd party intervening or channeling God's power like in the first century with Apostles." Where is the Scripture that makes this statement? I do not know of any such Scripture. I also not that you do not qualify your statement of fact by saying that it is simply opinion. If we are to make statements of fact about spiritual things, shouldn't there be at least one Scripture to back them up? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
Bible Answer: The whole book of Hebrews goes into this subject quite a bit. Its main purpose is to contrast the superiority of the christianity over that of the Law of Moses and Judiasm. One of the Book's main tenents is that you and I are NOW able to approach God directly through Jesus, His Son whereas before in Judiasm, the Jews had to go through their High Priest and he didn't know very much and couldn't answer most of their questions. Now God deals directly with His children like I stated and we can pray directly to Him in the name of Jesus Christ. Now, you and I know we're not going to find the specific words as you mention above. God expects us to study His Word and figure SOME things on our own. But clearly through His Word, we can also see that in today's world there is no one performing miracles anywhere even close to the kind of miracles in the Bible. Hope this helps to clarify and God bless. Rowdy |
