Just because common sicknesses were not being healed does not equate to that healings were no longer taking place. Many were sick and dying in the church at Corinth. Are you arguing that the supernatural gifts had already ceased by then, yes or no? No. I am saying that the supernatural gifts...

How about we see how the NET Bible translates it: 3 how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first communicated through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him, 4 while God confirmed their witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of...

I agree. The Trinity dwells in me.

Not true. Ok. You have convinced me. May I add that this was a brilliant response. Do you have any theological education?

The Blasphemy of the HS is a national sin, the rejection of Christ by the Jewish Nation. People today can not commit that sin.

It is not the HS talking to you. So I am not calling the HS like demonic. I only claimed that it was not the HS, but a demonic spirit.

You are going to need proof of these speculations. Paul assumed that the Rapture was going to happen in his lifetime (and we who remain will be caught up....). Note that Paul included himself among those who were going to see the Rapture. The early church had no more knowledge of WHEN Christ was...

It would help if you could support your dogmatic conclusions. Making conclusions without significant biblical support is useless. It is just your random opinion. Why has the office of Apostle ended? Why are miracles still around? Try to support your view that healings are still happening. Why...

I agree. In fact, 1 Cor 14.22 specifically says the signs are for the unbeliever, not the believer. As Acts 2 showed, those who spoke in a foreign language were for evangelism.

What complicates the issue is the meaning of the aorist indicative. The verb ejbebaiwvqh of course can mean “was confirmed,” or even “was guaranteed” (cf. BAGD). If the latter, then it would make good sense to regard the GA as subordinate to tw'n ajkousavntwn. The sense would be that those who...

Chapter Heb 2: 3, 4In the sometimes heated discussions over the question of the duration of certain spiritual gifts, one argument has persisted from the side of charismatics: There is no prooftext that any spiritual gift has ceased. As impressive as this argument sounds, a couple of responses...

First, the Vaticanus is an early manuscript, around 340 AD. Second, Burgon's talks about the Traditional text as if its corruption is any different than any other manuscript. All manuscripts have many corruptions. The Textus Receptus is not at all how you describe it. Have you ever don't any...

Sorry!! Got the wrong member.

The New World Translation and many of the new versions are based on Westcott and Hort, dig a little below the surface and you will be amazed at what you find how Westcott and Hort persuaded scholars of the Revision Committee to switch to the corrupted Alexandrian text for the new version. The...

Found this article on the Internet. It has some good thoughts in it. Bear in mind that the reason I am certain that Jesus is God is because I translate the scriptures literally. For the same reason I am a dispensationalist. here's the article: The third chapter of Exodus describes the...

Part 2 The Gospel of John contains at least two, and probably three, statements explicitly identifying Jesus Christ as God. The first of these statements comes in the very first sentence of the book: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (1:1). "Word"...

Part 1 'The New Testament does not often call Jesus "God." Contrary, though, to - what some people argue, it does assign that name to Jesus several times. In this chapter, we will examine several key texts that are the subject of much debate. We shall see that in most of these texts the...

More again on the deity of Christ. The Names of God So far, we have seen from the Bible that Jesus Christ is entitled to the Honors - that are due to God (such as worship, prayer, song, faith, and reverence) and that he possesses the essential Attributes of God (such as being eternal...

John 16:13 - However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. See, the Holy Spirit will tell you what's going to happen, not what happened in...

I will say with absolute certainty that it was not the Holy Spirit that told you that. A commentary is a sermon, but in writing. I hate to say this but you have a strange view of the HS. You are either lazy or ignorant of the fundamentals of Bible doctrine.
