Before I give you a more detailed answer, would you mind telling me whether you were slain in the spirit. That would help me to give you some guideline as to why you believe what you believe.

You seem to be a contextually orientated person, which is good. Therefore, it surprises me that you do not seem to believe this:

Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action), So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

“All the answers are in the BIBLE David, but it would appear you have now found it redundant to continue to find the answers…all because I said that is clear you don’t know your bible, what a cop-out.”

Deborah, are you very sure that ALL the answers are in the Bible? Care to explain, because it sounds to me as if you see that the Bible has ALL the answers to life or such topics from A to Z – really? For an instance, Jesus said, “If”, it does not mean a direct answer, so please enlighten to why your comments, “All the answers are in the Bible” are coming like this?

You are the one who is completely wrong because you are reading into a verse which is not there. It is called eisegesis. You wrote:

If we examine Revelation 10:7, the Lord is raising up prophets as we speak for the last days.

“but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.”

He is not raising up prophets in these days as we speak because the sounding of the angel refers to the seventh trumpet which introduces the seven bowl judgments of God’s wrath in Revelation 16. It forms part of the seven-year tribulation with the Antichrist reigning as God over the entire world. The church (Bride of Christ) won’t be here then as she will have been raptured prior to the tribulation. The prophets spoken of here are Old Testamnet prophets whom God inspired to predict the final consummation of the mystery of God. This mystery is not a hidden truth but the final fulfilment of many Old Testament prophecies which refer to Chrit’s Second Advent to the earth (not the Rapture) and the inauguration of his glorious Kingdom of a 1000 years of peace on earth.

So, who gives you the right to command us to remove the article when you are in wrong and not us?

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;”

These are separate from the gifts of the spirit as stated in 1 Corinithians

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” (1 Corinthians 12:7-11)

Those who operate in the gift of of prophecy regularly are not prophets. They are watchmen.

Those who are in the office of prophet go up against the prophets of Ba’al, they carry the burden of the Father’s heart for the sins of His people, they contend over false doctrine, and man made traditions. They can also disciple and teach. They’re chosen from birth and lead extemely grueling lives restricted by the Lord.

The verses cited in this article are about false prophets.

If we examine Revelation 10:7, the Lord is raising up prophets as we speak for the last days.

“but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.”

This article is completely wrong so please remove it.

Dear Dear Anti-Beast-Anti-Serpent

Waiting :wait:

Dear Anti-Beast-Anti-Serpent

Let me just help you out a bit, if you don’t mind:

1) I do not and have never said I know it all. However on certain subjects I have taken the time to research thoroughly, I might be missing info even in these subject but it in no way changes the truth I have expounded on. Now in order for you to tell me that you think I am a know it all, it would just sound reasonable that you think you know what I supposedly don’t in order to tell me I am wrong? right? 😀

2) You quoted “1 Corinthians 13: 9 (Amp)For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect).”

The Apostle Paul said this at a time when they the Apostles and Prophets knowledge was incomplete and imperfect, until such time as God revealed all to them through the Holy Spirit and it was penned down in the Word of God for all of us to have a complete and perfect Bible :thumbsup:

Or do you believe the Word of God is incomplete and imperfect and can’t tell us everything we need to know therefore we need extra revelation over and above scripture?

You said “So folks, be careful of people who seemed to have answers to every or almost all Biblical dilemma or exposition . I’m not saying they are all out to trap you or malevolent, some are, but some are sincere Christ followers but somehow they have UNINTENTIONALLY gone a bit over their own head without realizing it. Just saying.”

Instead of attacking me personally, because it’s obvious you think I am malevolent and out to trap people, why don’t you tell me what it is that is wrong so we can discuss it?

What church do you go to by the way?

I’ve read through some of your articles and exposition and pretty impress with your insight, and in many things you expound is in line with God’s Word and pretty much a confirmation to what I’ve asked God long ago, and that include all these, prophecy signs and wonders thingy you’ve expound for us. Great. So I’m with you in many of these cases, HOWEVER, it also seemed to dawn on me, sorry to sound offensive t, i can’t help but detect that you seemed to know-it-all when it comes to Biblical Truths. You seemed to have answers for almost every Biblical dilemma /situation….which is ODD if not downright contradictory to God’s Word. Coz for even you yourself has quoted in :

1 Corinthians 13: 9 (Amp)
For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect).

(scroll up above)

The world is anti-Truth and has ZERO tolerance for complete Truth and whoever that embodies complete Truth (the WHOLE ) is PURE ENEMY of this world and would be already killed /removed. Don’t believe me? Look what they did to The Whole TRUTH 2000 years ago? They nailed Him on the Cross!! The only thing was due to His DIVINE Nature He resurrected and conquered Death.

One can ONLY do that when one have ‘perfect & complete Truth’ which God clearly said none of us humans do. Yes there will be those who will possess more Truths or less Truth (depending on their sincerity to seek the Truth, how long , etc..but none will have complete Truth to have seemingly have answers to every Biblical dilemma / exposition).

So folks, be careful of people who seemed to have answers to every or almost all Biblical dilemma or exposition . I’m not saying they are all out to trap you or malevolent, some are, but some are sincere Christ followers but somehow they have UNINTENTIONALLY gone a bit over their own head without realizing it. Just saying.

Ministers who give themselves titles like prophet, apostle and revivalist choose to believe what their own hearts desires, NOT the Word of God.

I agree with you Thomas:

>> The apostles were eye witnesses of Jesus Christ’s miracles, his death, burial and resurrection and his ascension into heaven.

I search the scriptures regarding the apostles, and this is also the answer I came up with. Thanks Thomas!

>> Beware of the freaks who tell you, “The Holy Spirit, or Jesus or God told me to tell you this or that.”

Just the other day a ‘prophet’ told me “Holy Spirit told me…” something he had to say to me. This was not even backed up with any scripture. How can I be sure that this guy’s message was not from another god?

We as Christians must be very careful who we listen to and what we believe, especially from people who claim they are apostles, prophets or whatever. This is exactly what these people are – freaks. If you look at how they became a ‘prophet’, and do a little background check, you will see things are not as sound as you think they are.

I just think that most people have been listening to false teachings for so long that their whole brain needs to be rewired to the Word of God again. And I am not excluding myself from this.
