Hello 1still. Here's a little more food for thought on the subject ...... very short and brief. Seems the shorter posts tend to get read a bit more. More C n' P for the most part but it explains it rather nicely If the three items of 1 Cor 13:8 were not going to cease before we see Jesus, why does the Bible even mention "ceasing" ? If they were meant to be around until the end, like healing etc, why would God even bring up the matter of ceasing ? In vs.9-10, only prophecy and knowledge are spoken of in reference to perfection. Why? Because they are the very two gifts used since Genesis for the inspired writing of Scripture. With the completed Bible, these 'in part' gifts were withdrawn. Why ? It is so no one can add to the already perfect Word. There are six items mentioned in the passage 1 Cor 13:8-13. Of these six, three are said to remain and three are said to cease. Clearly, if words mean anything, three cease at some point in time while the other three remain beyond that point, until we see Jesus ... when faith and hope will also cease. Love ........ it'll always remain
