    Why I Am a Cessationist

    And why did they miss Him, what did thy not expect? (Just briefly)

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    That is all good--but what did Israel miss?

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    That has been my question of you.

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    I told you I did and have kept it no secret.

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    I'm repeating myself. It serves no purpose to tell you what you have not yet acknowledged as even being part of what is foretold of these times. But you are not there yet. You're not ready. You are still claiming that the church only acted commendably. But here is what you should be looking at...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    It is pointless to list what the early church fathers did not miss and believed, when the issue rather is what they did miss and believed to the contrary. Even so, what man meant for evil, God meant for good. Still, it is not good to side with or defend their error. They have answered for...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Have we not had this "Preterist" conversation before? (I am not a Preterist) Stop assuming. You are acting and responding as those in Israel who knew the scriptures, but still crucified Christ. The point is--this is that same time for the gentiles, and just as Israel failed during their final...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    There is no need for you to repeat the errors of what was not fully understood and falsely taught. Please, history does not--will not repeat itself on this matter.

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    What does it matter if I did not include the lessor gifts when you have excluded the greater gifts? I tell you--it does not matter. As for the reformers and early fathers of the church, none held to all that was taught and spoken by Christ. I don't know what TULIP is, other than a flower.

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    I had/have no intentions of burning you at the stake. But rather to present the wall that exists before the point of impact, not made by me. As for those admirable preachers and teachers, I applaud them. They taught with an unmeasurable discipline with little more than a mustard seed among...

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    Biblically, none are Jews any longer. That is, the bloodline continues, but God's dealings with them as a nation and people is "finished", by Christ who was the Last. It is certainly not commonly known, but the transition of "the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    That's not the point. The point rather is that church teachings are not to be considered wholly reliable....which was your reasoning and support of considering gifts or offices of the Spirit to be a thing of the past.

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Yes.

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    The specific teachings were not stated by Peter. However, they were stated by Jesus: They are the teachings of Jesus, not believed, nor taught. Do you know which ones they are? I ask, because I have thus far made no secret as to what they are, but few if any have believed my report. So, perhaps...

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    While Acts 2:38 is certainly a good model to follow and practice, there is no law in that passage. In fact the context is Peter specifically speaking to Israel, and not "Christendom." This then is much like the Law which Jesus reduced to two (for similar reasons). In which case, Jesus simply...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Peter warned of false teachers entering into the church (2 Peter 2:1). Paul foretold the believing of a lie causing strong delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:11). The apostle John said it was already at work (1 John 4;3). Which means, in spite of being a royal priesthood given the keys to the kingdom...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    You have given the foretold "false teachers" a pass, and thus act in accord with the "lie" that was also foretold to be believed. What foundation have you, if you skip over the warnings and claim righteous doctrine coming from false teachings according to the warnings given by those former...

    Why don't we enforce the biblical prescriptives on hair length for men and women?

    If the hair of Christ is short or long, He is still covered, for He is Christ. But for one only portraying the role of Christ in his home or community, to let his hair grow--he is adding of himself to the measure of Christ...therefore, "it is a dishonor to him" (1 Corinthians 11:14).

    Why don't we enforce the biblical prescriptives on hair length for men and women?

    It's an image in parable from God (not me). Hair is a cover. Christ is a cover. The likeness is not in the hair, but in the fact that it is a cover. Which is not to say, they are the same--indeed they are not. Which is true of all parables. It's a parable...the chosen method of communication...

    The Bible is open to interpretation....

    The word of God declares that there is only one correct translation or interpretation. Which is by the Holy Spirit, thus making the words spirit, and beyond any literary interpretation.
