1 Cor13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. Linden

I could have not said it better myself. Linden

The original disciples were all men, wow, stop the presses. linden

Was not Jesus Christ under authority of God the Father? Both God, but Jesus does submit to God the Father's plan of salvation (The Cross). Without this submission, you and I would be in a heap of trouble. linden

Well said. My understanding is that the men who spoke in different languages were not of multi-lingual. They probably knew maybe two languages as opposed to the Sadducees and the Pharisees who were very well educated in diffierent languages. Does God have a sense of humor or what? Acts 2:6...

I love the major doctrines that were a result of what Christ did for us on the cross: 1. The doctrine of redemption. 2. The doctrine of reconcilation. On the Godward side: 3. The doctrine of propitiation. For every person that has ever lived (and will live). 4. The doctrine of unlimited...

1 Tim 3:1 Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer (praying and recognizing the spiritual gift of pastor teacher), he desires a noble task a reference to a noble task: 1 Tim 5:17 The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double...

I would say it is 100% true, whether it is from God is another story. Unbelievers can talk in tongues also. Linden

I understand what you are giving me as far as the verse, but how does speaking in tongues as an experience today benefit the local church? look at some of the gifts given by God the Holy Spirit below, and I can give you a positive benefit that is derived from that gift. I can not see any...

It's my understanding that the spiritual gift(s) that God the Holy Spirit graciously gives us, is for the benefit of fellow believers. how does tongues benefit other believers? I'm not talking about some of the time, I'm talking all of the time. 1 Cor. 13:8 Love never fails. But where...

among a few reasons why God created man: 1) to glorify God, 2) to resolve the angelic conflict 3) to bring many sons to glory

No No and No! Does any Christian really think that the Holy Spirit, which indwells you forever (see verse below) is going to share part of the soul with a demon? John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever-- Having written the above. A...

George, Your questions are excellent. I only know that there are two categories when it comes to God's will. 1) God's directive will. 2) God's indirective will. God's directive will comes from knowing what is in the Bible. Especially imperatives. Such as Eph. 5:18, "keep on being filled with...

Good question: The answer is No, but when you study Adam and Eve, there is a precendent. In that God created the Women for Adam. I believe if one had the desire to be married, He has a person for you. Some may have the desire, but will never get married because of certain circumstances in their...

I have been taught that all sin is against God. And I use 1 John 1:9 to get back in fellowship. Having said that, sometimes when we sin, it does effect another person who is usually a loved one or friend. Usually mental attitude sins do not have consequences with other people (but of course they...

The power is in the Word of God: Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and (powerful) active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Linden

The "body" represents the unique body that God provided for Him to go to the cross and have all of mankind's sins imputed to Him. 1 Cor. 11:24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." The "blood" represents the...

1) Baptism = means identification. We are identified with Christ. a. Identified with Him forever, never to loose this identification, eternally set. 2) If I remember correctly, there are 9 baptisms mentioned in the Bible. 3) Baptism could be categorized into two groups a. Wet (Water baptism...

I can see your colleague's point. In saying that, just because we are Christians doesn't mean we are perfect. We still have the old sin nature to contend with. What matters to me is that we are all going to heaven by just believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior. We all have our weaknesses...

No it is not a sin to have children within a marriage. Satan knew he could get to the woman first. It was a matter of side stepping authority. The women fell in sin first, but as we know Adam soon fell also. Linden
