One element of today's popular culture that seems to creep into Christians lives is the wickedness of contention. Contention can be identified as strife, struggle, conflict, dispute.(not exhaustive) One major but subtle manifestation of contention is disputing with others trying to prove a...

Prophesy means to "speak forth" God is a God of purpose Eph 1:9, 2 Tim 1:9 God had a plan before the foundation of the world Eph 1:4, 1 Peter 1:20, Rev 13:8. God already knows the end of mankind Revelation 1:8. God is a God of order 1 Cor. 14:33, 40 These truths are important to...

I hope this can help people better understand the Gospel and God's saving Grace. This thread is primarily dealing with the Lordship of Christ because of it being under attack by many today who sell the Gospel of Christ and appeal to those who desire to live in sin and still be Christian. This is...

Hey everyone, check out Matt 7:22, "many will say to me in that day Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out many demons in your name, and in your name do many wonderful works?' the previous verse says, "not everyone that says lord lord but those who do the will of my Father. "...

Hey, No this scripture is not saying we are not to witness verbally and only by example. Morality is rampant in today's world. Morality is not Christianity. Also Morality is not Righteousness. The only Righteousness a believer can bring forth is in Christ. The Bible teaches we need to hear the...

John 12:37: Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in Him." The popular belief that miracles can only be done where faith is present is completely foreign to the Bible, Mark 13:58 is not saying that Jesus can not do miracles because of lack...

Thank you BAC for your kind words, I strongly agree with you about healings, as I've said in a previous quote, God can and does heal today. I will disclose this discourse for God's glory and to defend what is the biblical standpoint on the purpose of these gifts. Miracles had a purpose, this...

Biblically Tongues is presented here in Acts 2:1-9, which is one language understood by many nationalities. Also when sharing with you 2 Peter 3:16 i was simply warning against the reality of people twisting the scripture, not threatening you at all.

Hey Travis, Paul here is speaking hypothetically, to see this we must look back at 1 Corinth 12:27-31, where Paul asks are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers?..........do all speak in tongues? the answers to these questions is found in the previous verses where Paul explains that...

Hello Omee-Chan, I can relate to this question due to a foolish mistake I once made. I would like to first look at that word dating; today it carries with it the idea of sensuality and sexual implications. However i don't know the way you mean when you say it , but i will encourage you to be...

BAC, there is good reason to why many people believe the gifts had ceased after the 1st century. There is Scriptural support that explain the purposes for the gifts and their role in Christian history. The reality that these gifts are not evidenced today in a biblically presented way is clear...

Prompting; the action of saying something to presuade, encourage, or remind someone to do or say something. The original text is the Greek word, apophtheggomai, translating into utterance and meaning to speak forth. The msg translation is notorious for it's erroneous thought for thought...

I apologize if i offended you, which was not my intention, it wasn't an accusation. I was simply warning you of the dangers of not correctly studying the bible, check out this verse my friend, 2 Peter 3:16. Peter warned us too.

No, 1 Corinth 13:8, "Love never fails (permanence), as for prophecies, they will pass away (temporal); as for tongues, they will cease (temporal); as for knowledge, it will pass away. (temporal)' The scripture doesn't make a distinction between the timing when tongues will cease and knowledge...

Hello Travis, no intention of being divisive, I would simply like to reprove some error that is evident in your last post, you made several points 1. The Spirit apparently prompts an individual to give a message 2. The Spirit chooses whomever He wants to interpret the message. 3. The Spirit is...

There is question as to the proper interpretation of this verse 1 Cor 13:10, some believe the perfect is the completion of Scriptures, due to miracles authenticating the writers Mark 16:20 Hebrews 2:4 and tongues being a judgement on Israel and for it's use spreading the gospel 1 Corinth 14:21...

I have to get to work but i can quickly respond, i apologize for the limited response. However, there is a popular scripture for the ceasing of these gifts, 1 Cor 13:8. Yet more obvious is their purpose being fulfilled in scripture and having a understanding of why the gifts were given and how...

Thank you BAC for your response, I do agree God healed Philetus, by which means i cannot assume or draw conclusions from the text, however i can conclude that Paul was sorrowful due to his dear friends condition. As I've said before we must not draw conclusions from scripture to force an...

Thank you for your reply BAC, unfortuntely there was a misunderstanding here between parables and other languages, Christ spoke in Aramaic, which was the language of those who heard Him. Parables are a form of teaching that uses stories/experiences as a way to communicate spiritual truth often...

Thanks Travis for your response, I do agree with you that we ought not to target an entire denomination and mark them with unbiblical practices. Therefore i had no intention of doing that, instead i was simply stating the AOG's claim to exercise these particular gifts are unbiblical, which is a...
