We are told to earnestly seek the higher spiritual gifts. 1Co 12:31 But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.

1Co 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 1Co 14:15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.

1Co 12:31 But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. If every believer lacks nothing, there would be no reason to desire any of the gifts... Shalom

1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

This might help, too: Peace, joy, rest, sound mind - scriptures Isa 26:3    Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Php 4:6    do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your...

Where did Rachel’s soul go? Genesis 35:18 And as HER SOUL WAS DEPARTING (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin. Gen 35:19 So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem), Where was her soul going when it departed...

Yes, we see the souk leaving the body, here: When Rachel was dying, her soul was departing. Gen 35:18 And as her SOUL WAS DEPARTING (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin. Gen 35:19 So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath...

I’m a Christian and not a Protestant, anyway. We are told to study the scriptures ourselves, and rightly divide the truth, not study Ellen G White approved unto god, or Martin Luther or John Calvin or whoever, approved unto God.

Martin Luther isn’t my substitute pope. He was wrong on all kinds of doctrine, and as an ex catholic priest, had a lot of Roman Catholic baggage, such as replacement theology. John Calvin isn’t my substitute pope, either. Maranatha

Parables are vague. When Jesus taught about the rich man in hell, specific names are used- Lazarus, Abraham - hell is real or the Bible is a joke, you can’t believe a thing in it, throw it in the trash.

No, revelation says no one is in the lake of fire yet - those in hell now get cast into the lake of fire. Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire...

I don’t think a celestial body exists. IMO, the reason we sit with Christ in heavenly places, which is at the Father’s right hand, is that the groom and bride become one in marriage, which is wily we are called the body of Christ. Maranatha

Well, question one is answered in the OP: Before Jesus came, there were two compartments in the heart of the earth at that time. One compartment, called Abraham’s bosom, aka paradise, held all of the righteous dead, because no soul could go to heaven until Messiah atoned for sins. It was...

The Bible makes it clear in 2 Corinthians ch. 5, that our body is only a home, that WE leave at death. 2Co 5:1 For we know that if our earthly HOUSE of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2Co 5:6 Therefore we...

Pray to God daily and thank Him for the promise that He gives us a sound mind, in 2nd Timothy 1:7. Blessings

This is the typical cessationist statement- I’ve heard it a hundred times. Christians,, don’t ignorantly try to clear out hospitals, for the same reason Jesus didn’t clear out the leper colonies that existed in that day, but let the lepers who had faith that they could be healed by Jesus, come...

Paul said to let the ignorant remain ignorant, which means that at some point it’s time to let the ignorant remain ignorant and move on. 1Co 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. Thus I said exactly what Paul said and meant, but it’s obvious that you take offense at...

That’s absolutely wrong. Jesus said all who believe shall have signs following them of speaking in tongues, in Mark 16. And here’s your gibberish: 1Co 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue...

Yet I’m quoting Paul. Hmmmm..... Did Paul know he is arrogant?

Paul wrote that there are DIVERSITIES of tongues, meaning more than just one. 1Co 12:10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. There’s a...
