If I may, could I ask for some Biblical backup for your point about people not being manifested the way they were forever ago?
It may be that YOU aren't specifically manifested in this way, but I know plenty of people that are.

Boo. So I must be crazy, since I speak in tongues, have been healed, have been given a word of wisdom, have had words of knowledge spoken over me (that there's no way they could know) and have had a vision (er, I guess more like another word of wisdom... since those are about things to come. Not too sure what the difference between those is yet; I've yet to study it.)?Marvin D. wrote:You wicked, wicked sinner Mercy. Shwame Then I guess Garrett and I shall join you as well?
No, not in the way it used to be back in the Bible. We have gifts, but they aren't manifested the same way they were back then.
According to the end of that link I must be... I TL;DR it. No time for that atm; I gotta jet off to Prayer and Healing School where all these gifts start manifesting.

Actually, since I'm insane, you must be normal, Termite.
Other than the fact that all the people seem to be speaking in tongues and jumping up and down and make no sense--and Paul said that people who speak in tongues should interpret--I guess I'm not cool enough to have any of those gifts As Paul said, "Therefore, if the whole church assembles together and all are speaking in other languages [tongues], and people who are uninformed or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you're out of your mind?...If any person speaks in another language, there should be only two, or at the most three." The Charismatic/Pentecostal churches I see are. .well, for the most part, it's not one person speaking tongues It's more like half the church babbling. .and it's very chaotic.
Another reason I don't believe we need tongues anymore is because we already know what we need to know. Tongues are supposed to be for revelation and edification, correct? (even though it's not used that way. .) John 1:18 says that "[God] has revealed [Jesus]." We have the revelation already, and there is no need for "revelation" from which most speak of. Another thing about tongues--the tongues in Acts 2 were languages known to those who heard. Regular languages from abroad. Is that what people claim tongues are today? They call it supernatural utterances, often languages that don't exist. .or just plain random babbling. If it were really tongues, as people call it, they'd be speaking in another language--and perfectly too, since if it's from God, God does not err
. .and while I'm on my soapbox, I might as well add that another reason I disagree with Pentecostals is because they often say that they're "baptized with the Holy Spirit" during prayer meetings and whatnot. But all Christians are already filled with the Holy Spirit upon salvation (1 Corinthians 12:13).
*gets off soapbox*
Wow, that was too serious

There's a paraphrased version, yes, but the full version comes in the Book of Marvin. The paraphrased one reads: "The Lord ist not pleased with those whom use chatspeak and improper grammar."DanP740 wrote:I always thought that was in Jedidiah Jones, right after "Thou shalt not grab jackets."Marvin D. wrote:"And the Lord saw that man had created the Internet, and He was most distressed.

Do you think that humans have the right to end life? Abortion, brain death, execution, "unplugging them", and physician assisted suicide would all be examples of that. I'm curious about your answer.

No, I do not believe it's right. I've written some stuff about abortion and euthanasia, and I'd be more than willing to post them here if you'd like to look over it.

All right, this is a story I wrote about 3 years ago, so pardon any obvious errors =P
And this is a paper I had to do for school

Great, so you don't agree with abortion (and I don't know many Christians that do) but what do you think about "unplugging" vegetables? That is, people that are being kept alive entirely artificially, and don't really have any life left in them anyway. Is it wrong to simply let them die?

I also have something written about euthanasia, so as soon as I get off my iPod I shall post it. The short answer is that I don't agree with it either. Granted, someoght say it's right for those who have no chance of living...but then you don't know when to do it or end up justifying it for others.
As I said, this short paper will explain it in greater detail
