For those who are well versed with theology in general and particularly with the various commentaries on First Corinthians, we would all be well aware that many scholars will at times say things that they do not believe, or that they will phrase a given response to a question in a way that will allow them to retain their academic integrity without overtly upsetting their peers; often these peers are the ones who write their monthly pay check!Here we go again, straight in with the ad-hominems.
Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a logical fallacy in which an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.
Can you not even manage one reply to me without throwing a diatribe of insults and badmouthing cessationists? I don't know why I bother responding to your posts as you seem unwilling or unable to engage in any calm and reasoned debate.
When it comes to the τὸ τέλειον of 1 Cor 13:10 I cannot except that any intelligent person who holds a respected degree in theology could ever believe that Paul is speaking of a future completed Canon, there is no chance in my view that any such person could hold to such nonsense.
The same goes for the nature of tongues found in 1 Cor 14 and particularly with verse 2. I cannot accept that any scholar would view Paul’s teachings as saying that tongues are supposedly to be spoken in a known human language when he goes to great lengths in chapter 14 to say otherwise.
Now you may feel insulted (and so you probably should) but as I spend a fair amount of time with the various commentaries and journal articles on First Corinthians 12, 13 & 14 [I currently own about 80 such commentaries] then I am more than competent to make such an observation and I will continue to do so until I meet with the Lord. As I said previously, I also hear similar objections from those who promote homosexuality, that God is dead, universalism and that Jesus is not the only way to the Father, so am I perturbed that I am upsetting a few cessationists, not really.
