    What is the point in being a prophet?

    I would explain, but unfortunately you're far too blind and ignorant to understand. Have a nice day. :)

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    Then I guess you're perfectly right to say whatever you think about someone as long as you don't say they are lost eternally. :rolleyes:

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    What? Paul quoted Is.28 in 1Cor.14. And what has Rom.8:28 got to do with tongues?

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    As you think so you are. So you model yourself on your perception of your inner self? I'll stick to what is written thanks that way I'll know if the Christ in me is the real One. ;) The word of God truly is alive, as I like to say, the Bible is the only book that reads me as I read it. Have a...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    It appears there are those who just don't like to reason. I don't like maths but putting two and two together is the exception. ;) :)

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    1Cor.14:20-22 20 Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature. 21 In the law it is written: “With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,” says the Lord. 22...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    Why does everyone keep ignoring the purpose of tongues? Is it because there are those who prefer to remain as children in their thinking? 1Cor.14:20-22 20 Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature. 21 In the law it is written...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    You keep using the word perfect in the wrong sense. Were the scriptures complete in the 8th century bc or did the Lord still have more to say? Out of context? The Isaiah passage is what Paul is quoting in 1Cor.14. :ROFL: The context of 1Cor.13 is to the believer regarding prophecy, tongues...

    You have put forth your argument so eloquently how could I ever possibly disagree. :rolleyes:

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    @CS1 I forgot to add the verses and mention prophecies and knowledge were to fade out while tongues were to cease abrubtly. Two Greek words are used to show how the gifts end differently. 1 Cor.13:8-10 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    Has the language ever been identified and your interpretation been verified? Afterall, it's not a hard thing to do today with the Internet. How could I know you are not as deluded as the one speaking in so called tongues? Unfortunately, you have ignored the purpose of tongues as many do. It was...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    It's all been said by others from what I can see. Tongues was for unbelieving Jews as a warning and with the destruction of the Temple, Israel's time was over so no more need for warning. Tongues was not a gift to bless the Church but to warn Israel, Isaiah prophesied the time would come and...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    That's because you have to put many verses together and come and reason together with the Lord God. Holding to only one verse is fine in times of emergencies but daily living requires a whole rationale behind one's thinking.

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    I see nothing in the chapter to think otherwise. Paul mentions there are many languages in the world and those present may or may not know it. If there is no-one there who knows what is said and there is no interpreter, then one should keep quiet and speak silently to God for He alone knows all...

    You mean like your opinion none have ended? ;) :D

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    He was referring to one particular gift ending in 70AD, tongues, not "gifts" plural which you erroneously stated.

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    Yes, but we learn our language with which we communicate, even if it is used poorly at times. The gift of tongues was a language unknown to the speaker but known to the hearer.

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    I've been in a number of services where they supposedly spoke in tongues and never once heard an interpretation. So much for edification of the Church. :confused:
