12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.



When Jesus returns to Millennial Israel, then the perfect One(Jesus) will cause the(partial) Gifts of the Spirit to cease!

If you are going to quite scripture Sean don't add words that are not in the text. It does not say "perfect one", neither does the text say that the gifts of the spirit will be caused to cease. It simply says that which in part shall be done away with.

Define "That".

You define "that" as Jesus. Jesus is not a "That" He is a "Who".

The problem with your thinking is that you are parroting the line of the dipees who have went before you.

You have a definition problem with this verse.

Study out "That" and get back to us.

Look at chapter 1 of the same book....

1 Corinthians 1King James Version (KJV)

1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Again you are grasping at straws, and adding to the text what is not there, nowhere does Paul allude to a millennial kingdom nor to the end of the world.
