Bible Question (short): Scriptural evidence? |
Question (full): Greetings Doc! You wrote: "Ed, the truth of a doctrine cannot be verified by the number of people who adhere to it. Just as the truth of a doctrine cannot be falsified by the number of people who abuse it. We need to carefully search the scriptures, and test the fruit of the adherents, as we are commanded." Yet, the arguement of this entire thread seems to be that very few have practiced it over the years; therefore, tongues must have passed away. :-) There is only one verse in the entire Bible that mentions the gift of tongues ceasing. That same verse also mentions prophesy and knowledge ceasing as well. The timing of this 'ceasing' is absolutely vague, to say the least. So, let's lay aside the historical arguement (which really carries no authority anyway), and address what Scripture actually says. What is your Scriptural case that tongues are no longer valid?
