If the need for tongues is finished, what's to interpret?

Strewth! :rolleyes:

If it specifically indicated as you claim there would be no argument amongst the scholars.

Yes, I just got through a discussion with another poster who did that consistently. It is very exhausting. Rather than deal with what you actually say, they divert away to things you never mentioned in order to score points. Sad to say the least.

I was speaking only of prophecy. I put away my barbie dolls when I was 13yo but my teddies still sit on my bed. Just because some gifts have not been taken away doesn't mean all remain. If you want to know what the will of God is (forthtelling), then learn your scriptures. If you want to know...

Did I say we don't need pastor/teachers? I was talking about prophecy. How about staying on topic. :)

The Bible didn't tell people those things of life in in the time it was written, you even admit to that within your own post. (what I put in bold) You need more than the word of God? "It is written" was good enough for Jesus and He told the rest of us the same. Luke 16:31 “He said to him, ‘If...

On that basis we would all be prophets. You don't have to be a prophet for God to speak to you. Everything we need to know till the end of the age is already written in the word.

The gift of wisdom and the wisdom that comes from knowing Christ (who is the Word) are two different things but I'm guessing you were talking a little tongue in cheek, yes? ;)

Do you believe all the gifts have ceased or just some like the "word" gifts? (tongues, knowledge, wisdom, prophecy)

yes

More misrepresentation of what I have said. Goodnight.

How you jump to the conclusions you do has me confounded. If you can't understand what is plainly written within it's context, why bother conversing with you? We have been through the difference of innate goodness and being declared good. If you don't understand the difference or why it is so...

No, you simply don't get it. Sin is the result of evil, not the cause. We are born wrong (sin nature in the flesh), we are not born evil. Evil must be learned just as good must be learned. This is why the tree could be in the garden. If Adam was innately good or evil, he would already have been...

Oh please, they were human the same as we are. They learned the same way we did. You had no concept of right or wrong either when you were born. The difference is that we have an inner wrongness Adam, Eve and Christ never had to deal with. Until the Fall, Adam and Eve could only experience evil...

It's what I was talking about.

You're talking rubbish. I have not been taught Satan is correct.

You don't know what I have been taught and you have consistently misunderstood what I have said so why should I take your word for it? What does any of that have to do with how one learns? They didn't become something other than human once they sinned. We all still have to learn the same way...

You are asking them to understand the difference, it is not necessary. They only need the right information to act right. If you are approaching your Christian walk in the way you are demanding of Adam and Eve, you will not mature. You will never prove the word of God is true. First you must...

But I have told you they make no sense to me. How can I answer that which is nonsensical?
