@ShareGodWinks@pastorbanksb@RealShahriqKhan God's word, inspired by his Spirit isn't sufficient for his church? When Scripture becomes insufficient for us, soon it becomes inconsequential to us. I just quoted Scripture to you and you simply brushed it aside.
@ShareGodWinks@pastorbanksb@RealShahriqKhan It's not about attacking Catholics. It is about correcting unbiblical claims
After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Heb 1:3
Jesus does not live in man-made tabernacles. He's in heaven and he lives in us by his Spirit 1 Cor 6:19
@PrideslayerMMA@sola_chad Because evolution introduces death into the world before man, whereas the Bible says it was man's sin that brought death into the world. Unreconcilable.
@Key4SkeletonA@DeeWaynee94 Question: would this Creator need to repeatedly "make himself known in an instant" to each generation or would he only need to do it once and then have witnesses pass down the message to subsequent generations?
@StARadtrad@sola_chad I simply don't know how you can get around what Jesus said in John 6:37-40.... It is the Father's will that I should lose nothing He gave me but raise it up on the last day...
@StARadtrad@sola_chad Believers must pursue spiritual qualities and this confirms their calling and election. These verses don't oppose but rather they complement each other.
@StARadtrad@sola_chad It would seem like it was Jesus who invented the notion, then, and Protestants are simply following Jesus. It was Jesus who said He'd never cast out the ones the Father has given Him., afterall.
@StARadtrad@sola_chad All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. (John 6:37).
What has been reinvented?
@ErikNolife@Pastor_Gabe And asking for the gift of interpretation makes more sense if he's talking about the many kinds of worldly languages he mentioned
@ErikNolife@Pastor_Gabe 14-15 Praying in tongues could easily mean, e.g., the Holy Spirit leading me to pray in a language I don't understand (like Spanish) for His own purposes. How did we make the jump from this type of interpretation to the modern version of tongues?
@ErikNolife@Pastor_Gabe Romans 8:26-27 The Holy Spirit interceding for us with groanings also takes us out of the picture entirely. As it is a conversation between the Spirit and the Father, too deep for words. This doesn't lend itself to a spiritual gift discourse or speaking in tongues
@EmeritusTolu@ErikNolife@Pastor_Gabe And the OT quote in verse 21, "By men of strange tongues..." refers to people who speak foreign languages. When the Apostles spoke in tongues in Acts 2, even the languages they spoke were listed
@EmeritusTolu@ErikNolife@Pastor_Gabe You can't isolate verse 2. You need to interpret the verse in the context of the whole chapter (and in the context of the new testament) to decipher that the real gift of tongues is actually the gift of languages.
