Apparently, some have exited the thread, regarding this verse, how does it apply to cessationism?
There is that 'make sure God is one speaking' thread still around but it's meant for not this topic, really, so, without further ado, we ask you to pull yourself up a chair and be our guest. Oh, sorry, got carried away, but since zone already posted a long SOMEONE ELSE'S commentary on this verse, can we make this just.....
your opinion, pleasez, and, by all means, use Scripture to show your point. Here are the verses, what do these verses say to you regarding cessationism. Are they in support of it, or, not?
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
2 questions for you now, now that you've read the verses, questions posted in the 'speak from God' thread, but, again, this thread is more in caliber with its topic of spiritual gifts, which cessationists believe were DONE AWAY WITH after the apostolic (2nd century, 200 A.D.) age of apostle Paul, Peter, and, John.
What time is this passage in?
What is 'perfect to come?' Is it a 'what' even?
Why do YOU believe this way, sure, use Scripture or go to 'God speaking deadly' thread and c/p whatever you need for your cessasionist view, but, the Lord leads, can't we just all GIT along, little peepies
Note: I just don't see why this raging debate cannot be discussed, nicely, He leading us all, some saying their led by 'As much as it Is up to you, be at peace with all men,' Scripture, and, some us knowing Him in us leading us to all truth (of course, that Truth is in the Word, silly bears
) Afterall, Christ peeps, don't you know that the lion will one day lie down with the lamb
zone, you ferocious cat, you're, of course, welcome back too
