Spiritual Gifts are for Today

-
The Cessationalist claim that tongues, prophecy, healing and many other gifts are not for today. Here is part of their thinking: The nature of the New Testament miraculous gifts . If the Spirit was still moving as he was in the first century, then you would expect that the gifts would be of the same type. Consider the speaking of tongues. At Pentecost, the languages spoken were already existing, understandable languages. The New Testament gift was speaking in a known language and dialect, not an ecstatic language like you see people speaking in today. I’m still looking for a citation on this one (all the others too!) Some may point to 1 Corinthians 13:10 and say that the “perfect has come” in the form of the complete cannon of scripture and that “tongues will cease.” All spiritual gifts are partial. The perfect comes with the full revelation of the church under the personal and direct control of Jesus Christ. This was the belief of all the Apostolic and early chu...

Spiritual Gifts are for Today This is a refutation of the article “7 Biblical Arguments for Cessationism,” the first point for a discontinuation of spiritual gifts was that miracles were only for certain periods in the Bible and  states for his first argument that miracles don’t happen anymore. “ The unique role of miracles .

A Biblical Response to Same-Sex Marriage

-
I'm sure that there has been much written on the topic of same sex marriage but after following the debate among several friends and friends of friends I have decided to enter the debate with what I believe the Bible has to say on the subject. I will make three brief points to my argument and try not to get bogged down. If you want to argue points, debate semantics or asked for greater detail please leave your e-mail address in the comment section below. The first argument is based on the reoccurring pattern for marriage within Scripture. A married couple is always depicted as a man and a woman. Nowhere is there any other model given for the marriage as a unit. From Adam and Eve to Aquila and Priscilla a married couple has always depicted as a man and a woman. Some may want to muddy the water by talking about polygamist relationships such as King Solomon and his multitude of wives but Solomon had multiple wives not husbands and he was in violation of God's law found in Deute...
