    Why have the Sign Gifts Ended

    The argument that it has ceased is straightforward, with the necessary scripture: Signs are for the nation Israel. (Exodus 4, Psalms 74:9, Judges 6:13) The Messiah was promised to Israel and prophecy stated that he will perform many signs and wonders to prove his identity (Luke 7:20-23) When...

    I have been pondering about this recently and would like to seek views from everyone here. Whether Abraham's covenant with God was conditional or unconditional can be tricky to conclude without bias from your favorite church doctrine.

    Some arguments why The term "Great Commission" was never in the Bible, and Bible translators only added that in the heading. Matthew's version, the most popular one, had Jesus instructing them to teach others to follow "everything" he has taught them, which if you read the entire Gospel of...
