Perhaps he has a better handle of the exegesis of 1 Cor 12-14.

Paul, You have raised an issue of error in many Pentecostal churches I have visited. Whether in the congregation or small prayer/Bible study groups, they all tongues without interpretations. This is unbiblical according to 1 Cor 14:13-18 (NIV). Whenever there is the gift of tongues in a group...

Paul, I think you are going outside the Bible with that conclusion. The gifts of the Spirit include the word of knowledge, word of wisdom, prophecy, tongues & interpretation, etc., all of which are God's supernatural revelation to a person who then delivers the message to the congregation...

If you don't have a knowledge of the source of your info, I suggest you don't post it as it is nothing more than your opinion.

From where did you gain that understanding?

Tim, God's gifts of the Spirit did not cease when the canon was completed. There have been man documented miracles throughout church history. Miracles are happening today when missionaries go to a field of mission. You are out of touch to consider the gifts of the Spirit have ceased and are...

Paul, I couldn't consider cessationism a lie, but an alternate interpretation of Scripture that needs challenging. Nowhere in the context of 1 Cor 13:10 is it mentioned that 'that which is perfect has come' related to the completion of the canon of Scripture. I don't consider it a lie but an...

Paul, I think this is way too harsh of a judgment. Many cessationists believe it in good faith as the view taught by the church and many other prominent ministries around the world, e.g. John MacArthur, the late R C Sproul, the late Norman Geisler, etc. In my view, it is an anti-supernatural...

Paul, Two retired missionaries (husband and wife) from Peru came to the Bible study group I lead recently (before COVID-19) and they told of the miraculous exorcisms in which they were involved with people entrenched in spiritism. If they didn't have the gift of exorcism, they would be seen as...

Reformed, 1 Cor 13:10 (ESV) reads: 'but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away' (ESV). In the Greek it is: ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ τὸ τέλειον, τὸ ἐκ μέρους καταργηθήσεται, i.e. hotan de elthē to ek menrous katargēthēsetai. Literally it is translated 'when but it comes (aorist, subjunctive...

What is your understanding of 'perfection' in Heb 6:1?

WIH, This is not true. In my country there are charismatic Baptists, Churches of Christ, Christian & Missionary Alliance, Anglican, Uniting Church and Roman Catholics. Oz

BC, Have you travelled to countries like Peru where you see manifestations of the demonic through use of spiritism. My missionary friends would have been up the theological creek if they accepted your theology. Their ministry of evangelism was accompanied by the casting out of demons on many...

Jay, When you look at the Constitution of the LNP, it is pro-life, but it gives its MPs a conscience vote on contentious issues like abortion. Oz

Barnaby committing adultery and yet he is 'a devout Christian'??? Do you have evidence to support that? I know he said he was pro-life.

There is not enough population. If it went from Rockhampton to the Torres Strait and inland to Mt Isa, the major towns would be Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns. Then outback the only major town would be Mt Isa. The Katter team has been pushing for NQ to become a separate state but I...

Done! Gospel related tattoos have been used effectively by the south-sea Islanders who play in the Rugby League competition in Australia. He is an example of one player, formerly playing in Australia but now in the UK: St Helen’s (UK) wrote of Naiqama: ‘The religious scriptures inked across...

Farouk, To the contrary, much work in apologetics is used by the Lord to clear away some of the obstructions of people who are drawn to the Saviour. Teens I work with are asking profound questions: What evidence do we have for God's existence? Who made God? Which evidence will you accept...

marksman, I don't find a lot of common sense in voting patterns these days. People seem to be so fed up with politics they don't think about policies but follow the party supported by their parents or the Union they were a member of (thus, many Labor voters). Although the Pauline Hanson One...

KAP have a good following in North Qld, where its MPs are located. However, it can't raise much support in SE Qld. KAP is pro-life.
