"For God so loved the world, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). Your not being consistent. In your previous post you said you believed that anyone today attributing the works that man may be doing in the power of the Spirit to Satan...

I've given you Scripture that you don't accept. When looked at in the light of God's purpose for the miraculous and its history I don't believe there's a possibility of anyone possessing the prophetic gift in this age anymore than someone writing inspired books to be added to the canon. I do...

I don't consider your personal experience to be prophecy Ernie. The Spirit gives all believers the ability to discern to a certain extent. The more we are adjusted to the Spirit that indwells, the more likely we are to pick up on such things. There doesn't seem to have been any new revelation...

Ernie, If the Scriptures are given in order that "the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works," I ask again what would be purpose of new revelation? In Christ, Tracey

Man's interpretation of God's inspired Word may very well differ, but Its revelation is no less complete. In Christ, Tracey

Since it's your belief that attributing man's work that might be done in the power of the Spirit to Satan is the same offense as that committed in (Mark 3:28), then you must also believe that this sin is unpardonable as well. If so, what do you do with the "whosoever will" gospel that is...

Ernie writes: I find it interesting that Scripture classifies the two as witnesses instead of prophets. I see nothing more than a general forthtelling ministry which testifies to what has already been written? Where is the new revelation? Ernie writes: First, I have already addressed...

The need for prophets in apostolic times was evident due to the tremendous doctrinal transition from what was commonly believed by the Jews to what constituted the Christian faith. The New Testament wasn't written immediately and there was great need for an authoritative source of revelation of...

There has always been a believing remnant among the Jew. In this age that Jewish remnant is included in the Church, who's position is "in Christ." I do not agree with your assertion that nationality has nothing to do with who is a true Jew. I know for certain that although I've been born from...

Curt writes: What do we call the physical descendants of Abraham, particularly those who came through Isaac and Jacob, who are outside of the Church? In Christ, Tracey

While I freely admit that men today possess the gift of teaching, exhortation, and evangelism, I don't believe any possess the gift of prophecy. Since we have a completed New Testament there's no further need of additional revelation. God's purpose is to reveal Himself through the Word. In...

"...Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:20-21). In Christ, Tracey

The Scripture quoted by the OP (Mark 3:28) directs the offense towards the Third Person in particular. To widen the scope by saying God-things, thereby including every member of the Trinity, seems to move beyond what is written. Is it your opinion that attributing works that men may be doing...

In the Greek temptation means to test or to make trial and may imply a probing to learn character and virtue (Gen. 22:1; Matt. 6:13; John 6:6), or to reveal weakness and evil (1 Cor. 7:5; Gal. 6:1). In respect to testing character and virtue it seems God is the source rather than Satan. As...

Christ answers the question for you. He termed the assertion that His works were accomplished through the power of Satan as a sin against the Holy Spirit. When considering blasphemy against the Third Person one should take notice that, for whatever reason, men don't seem to swear in His name...

The Scripture context in which (Rom. 11:29) falls is indeed speaking of national Israel. Paul is teaching that a day is coming when Israel, as a nation, will be brought into the new covenant. Some believe the phrase "all Israel" is speaking of the remnant, or those Jewish believers that have...

A consistent literal approach to interpreting Scripture, a clear distinction between the Church and the nation of Israel in God's plans, and the ultimate purpose of history being God's own glory. In Christ, Tracey

Due to respect, in which you're entitled if for no other reason than age, I'll respectfully disagree with your position and allow you to present your argument. In Christ, Tracey

Your Scripture quotations were anticipated and answered before you presented them. As for the quote above, God, being who He is owes nothing to anyone. But He has taken it upon Himself to produce on Israel's behalf and it will certainly come to pass. You did hit upon something which is a...

I guess one's cheese can still slip off their bread at 4 below zero. :D In Christ, Tracey
