If you like, go ahead and transfer all the posts connected to this subject, because I think it would be more appropriate (I seem to have hi-jacked the other thread).
Perhaps my more 'positive' post would be welcomed?
As a thought, would it be of interest to take the kinds of issues brought up so far and discuss them from a biblical view point? Although not listed above, what of the gift of tongues? As Paul instructed (apostolic doctrine) in first half
1 Cor 14, what is the gift (purpose and goal), when should the give be exercised, under what circumstances, and as a sign for whom?
Plus any other scriptures that might have a bearing (additional information/instructions) on the gift and its intended use. Of course, each of the topics should most likely have its own thread.
Right now I am trying desperately to get back and pick up my study on the Commandments of Jesus. You know, those things Jesus commanded His disciples to teach to those who are made disciples of Christ, out of the nations. Which is another topic noted above - just what did the disciples teach (doctrines)? How do we identify those doctrines? The hard part is: Now what do we do with that knowledge?
