Most people? How about none.
Again, presumption or unction?
"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29
Are the fingers the nose? Is the arm the foot? All have their function as prescribed by God and as led by their Director! Do you know all of God's business and all of the business of those parts of the Body which are not you? The Head most certainly does!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.
Then the ignorant will remain ignorant; the blind, blind; and the deaf, deaf. No hope for the man who is unable to see or hear... no more touches from Jesus heal blinded or diminished visions.Nobody is guided into any new revelation today. Jude says that we should contend for THE FAITH that has ONCE been delivered unto the saints. There are no more deliveries of truth.
Then a man who already knows so much he is able to continue without God... without even the Holy Spirit to lead him... in spite of what Jeremiah wrote here:I don’t seek after a sign. I can read about all the signs I need and I believe they happened in the way and for the reason they were intended.
"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem 10:23
Jesus came and advised us that a better teacher was being sent... and it was NOT another Word of God. Jesus was already the only Word of God... The Bible is NOT Jesus. Bible contain dead words which may be quickened in people by the Holy Ghost/Spirit.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26
No, you don't need to see my world and you cannot... God can see of our worlds and when allowed to do He will help us overcome it. Only overcomers may partake of the Tree of Life.I don’t need to see your world. I can read and the Bible tells me that all those gifts of the Spirit would cease. And they have. That is verifiable. I can see all kinds of people claiming this and that but when it counts they can demonstrate nothing. Some may try to jibber jabber some tongue but I believe that lately people are even getting away from that because they see how ridiculous it is.
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God." Rev 2:7
The gifts will cease when they are no longer needed, but do you see this society of men or even what men call churches as being in such good [remembering that only God is good] condition that they no longer need God's help?
When Jesus failed it was because people limited God. This is still true to today when people by their negative faith limit God.This is a parallel passage to Mk 16:17-20. Those that believed in the early church could do all sorts of things.
nice, but how do you know what the will of the father is without the revealed will in the word. It is within the word that God has revealed his will for us. Are you equating yourself to Jesus in that you receive the will in the same way he did?
Do we will hear His voice? Do we obey what we hear? If not, why not?
"To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers." John 10:3-5
