So, I guess when Paul and Timothy were writing the church in Thesalonica like they did in Corinth... 1 Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost. Using your understanding the church didn’t become...

The only place we find this idea of being ambassadors for Christ is in 2 Cor 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. I have pointed out in other post where right from the beginning of this letter...

That someone preaching today is guided by the word. Not through some direct operation of the Spirit. This is how we have so many churches teaching and practicing different doctrines. They all say they are led by the Spirit. But it’s funny how the Spirit never teaches the same thing. He...

Once again, the point is there are two subjects in mind in each one of these sentences. The WE and the YOU. The WE is not the YOU and the YOU is not the WE. He said WE are ambassadors and then mentioned the YOU. So, the WE is not the YOU. They are two separate subjects. If I were to say...

1 chron 28 has nothing to do with 1 Cor 13. But that doesn’t really matter now does it. Just post whatever you want as if it proves something. Yes, those in the first century only new in part. They had gifts of the Spirit because they did not have the total revealed will of God. If we want...

All I need is your quote above.. I will show you where you are wrong but it won’t matter to you. Once I do the rest of your post can then be throne out the window. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for...

You started off with MK 13:11. You took vs 11 completely out of context. So, I showed you what the proper context of the passage was. That passage was not directed to you and me. This is how 90% of “Christianity” uses the Bible. You go to one or two verses that says something you like, you...

God catches men today through earthen vessels. 2 Cor 4. It is through preaching the gospel that people come to God. In Rom 10 Paul says...how can you believe unless you’ve heard the word and how can you hear unless someone preaches. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to...

The righteousness of God is the way in which God goes about to make man righteous. The gospel today is where we find the righteousness of God. Ro 1:16,17 Romans 10:1-3 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a...

No I do not believe we are transformed in a miraculous way by Christ. Paul is clear that it is through preaching that we are changed. 2 Cor 4 tells us that Gods message is in earthen vessels. So, yes we even today are vessels for Christ. The difference is Paul was a specific CHOSEN vessel hand...

Why don’t you give me a couple of examples of what you just said. Who has these “gifts” and what are they. People believe that everything in man is sinful. No it is not. We all have natural God given desires that are not sinful. We make them sinful by taking them beyond where they were...

Through the word we have today. John was speaking to people that would have had spiritual gifts. A real anointing or unction. They did not have the word we have today so they were given miraculous, spiritual gifts. We dont need that today.

When Jesus told the religious people of his day that they were wrong they responded in the same way. Thank you for that. Where is the power of God today? Rom 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for IT IS THE POWER OF GOD unto salvation. The word of God is where the power lies...

Ok, you don’t like contrast, then we will go with compare. In order to compare there must be two DIFFERENT subjects in mind. That is all I’m saying, but you don’t care you will just argue with it anyway.

Of course I can. The truth is that Christ appeared to Saul in person. That has not happened since and does not happen today. If you can’t see that appearing to Saul was a miraculous event then I can’t help you. Jesus specifically said... Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for...

I do believe in Jesus. I do believe he is the son of God and that he was crucified, buried and raised from the dead and I have seen nothing nor do I need to see. No I don’t. But God has already preprogrammed this. He knows there will be preachers teacher, elders, deacons, etc. the...

No I do not. We are all individuals. We all possess certain abilities, qualities, talents, etc. we can use whatever abilities we have within the kingdom to help it advance. Those aren’t gifts of the HS. They are just a part of who we are as individuals.

Most people? How about none. The body of Christ? Are those who have believed, repented and been baptized into Christ or into the body they are one in the same. Nobody is guided into any new revelation today. Jude says that we should contend for THE FAITH that has ONCE been delivered...

We can also look at chapter 1. He begins the first verse mentioning him and Timothy. Then in a couple of verses later we find this language... 2 Corinthians 1:6-7 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings...
