Strangely enough, there are reformed people who believe in the continuation of the gifts, such as Sam Storms

The idea that the gifts ceased in the 1st century is a very new one. https://biblehub.com/commentaries/1_corinthians/13-10.htm Even all the commentaries from the not-so early church agree with us. They agree: the gifts cease when the Lord returns.

I agree with you that both extremes are terrible. You have some abusing or fraudulent gifts going on with people pretending to be a dog peeing and claiming they are under the Holy Spirit's control... Thats just horrible. On the flip side you have people that are spiritually dead as dust...

The point I was trying to make is: Why wouldn't there be a need to confirm the message today? People believe all sorts of books on faith, the quran and the book of mormon. If someone came up to me and told me to repent and believe the gospel and all I had was what some guy told me about what...

How would the people in 2024 be convinced of the apostle's miracles? I can read of miracles done by voodoo priests, should I become a voodoo practicioner? Of course not.

Very interesting take. You are saying the beast will be a literal demon from the abyss in the form of a man?

It feels real for every samoan and pacific islanders. The pacific islands are having massive issues with rising sea levels. Now its schools and individual houses, hopefully in the near future it isn't the entire islands people call home.

I don't see the vatican running anything. The muslims have way more influence, they run all of the biblical world (middle-east, north africa) and hold power in Europe as well, as they are the fastest growing group there. If you are american you can probably not see it because there are so few...

I believe the antichrist will be islamic not because of John MacArthur or islamic writings but because of the Bible. Islam conquered all the areas including the city of Babylon in the statue of Daniel. They are the only religion in the world that actively denies both the Father and the Son and...

Why is a Christian listening to worldly satanic music? You know what the Bible warns in Revelation about being not POLLUTED by the world and soiling your garments.

I would argue that hate can sometimes in the Bible mean not prefer, or love less. I will provide one example: Matthew 10:37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Luke 14:26 “If anyone...

Cant believe I am seeing someone defending the Pharisee sect on a Christian forum! Look at the verse in Acts 23:6 "But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the...

WHAAAT? Who said that o_O

Yeah of course, the resurrection of Jesus and the ones mentioned there. We don't know who they are, perhaps OT saints? But we do know that there is a future resurrection at the return of Jesus.

I think you mean 2 Thessalonians right? There is no way that happened in AD70.... I will post it here and let everyone decide if this is a past event or future. Jesus only returns once? "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his...

Fellow gangbangers here! Hahaha. Yeah they do put in work. I live in the city centre and I walk outside and on the main street there are like 3 different spots they hang out at. Sometimes I feel guilty I dont put in the same amount of hours. Why don't we do it as often as the JWs? Whats wrong...

The romans destroyed it but it was something Jesus said would happen, He predicted it and it was judgment upon them for not recognizing the hour of their visitation.

" “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but...

I agree with both, no one fulfills Romans 2:14 unfortunately, if you keep reading to chapter 3 you will notice Paul concludes with the statement that both jews and gentiles are under sin and need a savior (Jesus) The New Covenant most definitely is in effect and God saved a multitude of Jews...

It actually is speaking of the day of judgment as well. Jesus said shall He find faith on earth when He returns. Clearly its a minority.
