[Church_of_Christ] Re: Holy Spirit 3
Your brother George K. Howsepian to our dear brother Ray,
My questions, answers, and comments are below.
--- In Church_of_Christ@
George: The "job" of a miracle was so people could believe God is with the doer of the miracle.
Ray: If a person lays hands on someone's broken leg and the leg is healed, that person has a mended leg even if the people around take no notice.
George: If a person has a gift to heal, God is with him. He wouldn't need to touch a leg but by speaking a word, the leg would heal instantly even if the leg was thousands of miles away. Let's demonstrate some real power, shall we? How about giving a man who has never stood on his feet the ability to pick himself up and walk? That's the power of God!
Ray: If a person brings a prophecy or word of wisdom to another person, the receiver is edified even if the rest of the people didn't even hear it and don't care.
George: The gifts were meant to edify the body of Christ(believers) and to prove to unbelievers that God is with that body.
Ray: Miracles still have their own affects even if no one's mind is changed about God or miracles.
George: We have a difference of opinion here as to the purpose of God's gifts.
