Gifts of the Holy Ghost

[1689Dave]

The signs are associated with the Apostles as you indicated. And that's not all. That is just one example of things pertaining to the Apostles, the first clergy of the Christian church, which were believed in the first century to be authoritative precisely because they had been deliberately passed on by the Apostles to their successors and from them to later generations.

Scripture disagrees with this. Only the Apostles communicated the gifts to others through their hands. (Apart from the two outpourings). No mention of your guys doing this.

 

[1689Dave]

Where in Scripture can you support what you just said? I find nothing in Scripture to suggest the gifts of the Holy Ghost have been removed just because Paul offered some medical advice.

Do you ever pray for a loved one to be healed by God? And if God doesn't heal them, does that mean you shouldn't have prayed for it?

Where in Scripture do you combine 'signs and wonders' with the 'gifts of the Holy Ghost' as the same?

Your problem is, scripture only says what I shared. No mention of your theories.

 

[1689Dave]

Again, my questions in post #(10).

Where do you support your statement in Scripture that only the apostles had the gifts of the Holy Ghost?

Where do you support your statement in Scripture that the gifts have been withdrawn?

A close reading shows that the 120 were at a different time and place. Only the 12 were present on Pentecost. No mention of your theory. I wrote only what scripture says on the matter.

You didn't answr my questions.

Scripture only says what you share? How silly.

And yet you cannot answer my questions showing Scripture.

Your idea cannot find support in scripture. I wrote only what scripture directly says on the matter.

Where in Scripture is this 'close reading' you speak of? @Lamb--another (?)

What 'idea' are you talking about?

@Lamb--note another question.

I have supported what I have said by Scripture. You have not and cannot.

Again, you didn't answer my questions. Just because you say it means nothing

Go back to posts (8, 10, 15, 17). Answer my questions.

I gave Scripture. Which Scripture are you talking about that does not support what I said?

@Lamb--note another question.

You (Dave) have not answered my questions.

Tru posting ONE point at a time with scripture proof. I don't do well unless we totally exhaust each point.

It seems that you cannot communicate with me. Try a different approach.

Try rephrasing your question, we are failing to communicate.

I communicate very well. You just need to answer my questions.

Your inability to answer my questions cast a shadow of doubt on what you say. You have set yourself up as some sort of authority. As though if you say it, it must be so.

No, you are failing to answer the questions.

The questions are very clear.

Prove what you are saying with scripture. So far you have not.

That's a lie. What I have said is found in posts #(1) and (20). And I have given Scripture to support.

It is you who have not supplied Scripture which is why you don't answer my questions.

Please answer my questions in posts (8,10,15,17).

How can I answer if I don't understand you?

Another lie. You just asked me to 'prove what I said'. That shows you understand perfectly well.

Let's settle this. Make one point, in response to this. And back it with scripture. If you decline, I'll assume I'm right about your understanding of the Bible.

I have made my points in posts (1) and (20), with Scripture.

Choose any point you like.

And answer my questions in posts (8,10,15,17) concerning your points which were made without Scripture.

You can assume anything you like.
