How am I to understand spiritual gifts?

Protestants only please.

I am thoroughly convinced of cessationism; the charismatic gifts have ceased. This is the dominant opinion throughout church history until the last 100 years with the introduction of the pentecostal and charismatic movements. The Westminster and London Baptist confession are both cessationist. Here's an article from spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle for cessationism: https://www.metropolitantabernacle.org/Christian-Article/Cessationism-Proving-Charismatic-Gifts-have-Ceased-Sword-and-Trowel-Magazine

But, there are still said to be non-charismatic spiritual gifts that are continuing.

>Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that. (1 Cor 7:7)

Does this indicate that every believer has a spiritual gift, like most conclude? I hesitate to say so because Paul is talking about his chastity, being unmarried, and the gift of being unmarried is never listed as a spiritual gift. The whole chapter does not touch on spiritual gifts at all.

These are the alleged lists of spiritual gifts. They do not all match, which isn't necessarily a problem.

prots just dig in their heels and repeat scripture scripture scripture because they are all literally North Americans or anglos who reduce scripture to a codex of "divine info" and care about things like "infallibility" rather than singing the scriptures within the very life you lead, as if the spiritual knowledge resembles the erudition of "scripture readers" who digest only what they deem to be sophisticated enough to be obscure and religiously fanciful.

John 14:28

All four Gospels record Jesus as saying, “Blessed are the peace-makers; they will be called sons of God.”

The word ‘son’ cannot be accepted literally because in the Bible, God apparently addresses many f his chosen servants as ‘son’ and ‘sons.’ The Hebrews believed God is One, and had neither wife nor children in any literal sense. Therefore, it is obvious the expression ‘son of God’ merely meant ‘Servant of God’; one who, because of faithful service, was close and dear to God as a son is to his father.

Christians who came from a Greek or Roman background, later misused this term. In their heritage, ‘son of God’ signified an incarnation of a god or someone born of a physical union between male and female gods. This can be seen in Acts 14: 11-13, where we read that when Paul and Barnabas preached in a city of Turkey, pagans claimed they were gods incarnate. They called Barnabas the Roman god Zeus, and Paul the Roman god Hermes.

Furthermore, the New Testament Greek word translated as ‘son’ are ‘pias’ and ‘paida’ which mean ‘servant,’ or ‘son in the sense of servant.’ These are translated to ‘son’ in reference to Jesus and ‘servant’ in reference to all others in some translations of the Bible. So, consistent with other verses, Jesus was merely saying that he is God’s servant.

Additional problems with Trinity

To a christian, God had to take human form to understand temptation and human suffering, but the concept is not based on any clear words of Jesus. In contrast, God does not need to be tempted and suffer in order to be able to understand and forgive man’s sins, for He is the all knowing Creator of man. This is expressed in the verse:

‘And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know their pains.’ (Exodus 3:7)

God forgave sin before Jesus’ appearance, and He continues to forgive without any assistance. When a believer sins, he may come before God in sincere repentance toPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It's wine. Nobody even knew how to create unfermented grape juice until the 1800's. Grapes start fermenting immediately and it takes modern technology to prevent it from happening so that non-alcoholic juice can be made.

Wine. Obviously! Wine is symbolic of maturity, and Sabbath rest (that's why Noah drinks it after he comes out of the Ark. The Flood is creation backwards, a global baptism. Just as after God creates He rests, so Noah rests after the Flood). This is particularly because children can eat grapes and drink grape juice, but only adults can appreciate the taste of wine. Priests in the Tabernacle/Temple and Nazarites are not allowed to drink wine because the Sabbath for Israel has not come yet. It comes in Jesus, and that's why we drink wine in the Eucharist.

Proverbs 31:6

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, And wine unto the bitter in soul:

The "strong drink" has been rendered varyingly as mead in the Septuagint and as "sicera" in the Vulgate; elsewhere in the Septuagint it is also rendered as 'síkera'. Perhaps a fizzy beverage like a beer or a cider could have been what was had in mind as opposed to something like distilled spirits which didn't spread throughout the world until around the High Middle Ages; but perhaps it might have also been any other sort of strong fermented concoction.

But that passage is clearly referring not to those who drink wine or eat meat, but specifically to those who do so IN EXCESS. The passage does not forbid drinking wine, or eating meat for that matter, as a whole, it merely discourages one from being a drunk or glutton, or associating with those who are. Also

The playlists for church history, reformation history, and Luther and Calvin are outstanding. He has solid information on all of the denominations. But has a large encyclopedia of Catholic, Lutheran, and Calvinist thought. Even goes into a lot of detail of chruch/denomination history in America.

I've encountered this argument before. Let's set the record straight.

A Roman Catholic might argue that the church was founded on Peter, not Christ or the confession of Christ, because Jesus says "upon this rock I will build my church". If we speculate that Jesus was speaking Aramaic, it would have been akin to "You are rock. Upon this rock I will build my church", because the words would have been identical. The argument says that this is tantamount to, "upon you I will build my church".

This is a bad argument because the holy scriptures are what were inspired, written in Greek. Speculation about what Jesus might have said in Aramaic is conjecture.

The person making this argument has to:

>establish with certainty that Jesus's conversational language with Peter was Aramaic

>account for the differences in terms when written in Greek

>Prove the doctrine from the Greek anyway, independent of the Aramaic argument.

If the doctrine of Jesus building His church upon Peter is Biblical, it would be present in the koine greek. That is a matter of reasoned debate, but this talk about aramaic is not.

The rock verse is not the make or break one, the following verses are more important.

I will give you the the keys - only the highest clergy authority had the keys to the temple.

Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven… - also something only the clerical authority could do.

Hence to any hebrew hearing those words it would be clear that Jesus is giving authority to Peter.

Sola scriptura is a manmade tradition whose fruits is thousands of christian sects and counting. All it takes is someone thinking they know better, and humans are specially tuned to do that due to our fallen prideful nature.

Jesus mandated a hierarchy as everything in existence functions through hierarchy, He made creation like this. That s.s. tradition is a rebellion against God's will and its fruits show it.

the word petros is the masculine form of the word petra (rock)

Not OP, but the Kike god is indeed an evil lesser demon. We Christians are the children of the One True God and are superior to him.

This Pentecost I got baptized by full submersion. It was a surreal experience. Entering the congregation in my white robe with everyone standing up felt a little bit like getting married.

Then I had to sit through the first part of the service, while the tension slowly built up.

After entering the font and declaring Jesus as my Lord and savior I started dazing and I was completely stunned when I emerged again.

After changing into my regular clothes, I got showered with gifts by various parish members.

What a day, glory to the Lord!

Well not everyone's experience is the same. I'm Christian and still want to kill myself every day and pray regularly to God to kill me so I won't have to do it myself. Stopped going to church too since they just flat-out lie to people about the state of the world and reinforce status quo. Now I just stay home and read the Bible by myself.

Have you been living under a rock? They have been carrying on in open contradiction with the written doctrine for years, and now the church is finally splitting. Homos are retaining the "united methodist" name, and traditionalists are forming a new denomination

Officially, the UMC still opposes homosexuality. It's a violation of church law and incompatible with the Christian teaching. Yes, there are a few individual churches and districts that defy the General Conference, and depending, they're liable for disciplinary action. They're the exception however, not the rule.

There has been no split in the denomination. One has been proposed, but it has not been voted on and won't be voted on until the 2020 General Conference; though that has been postponed to 2021. And, it may not even pass; though it is likely. However, it'll likely be the case that it won't pass unless the conservatives get more concessions such as retaining the UMC name and securing more funds for the traditionalist churches. Conservatives are the majority in this, and as always, it's just a loud, belligerent minority screeching until they get their way. Thankfully, the conservatives have not caved into any demands by the pro-LGBT crowd yet

The mother of Our God, Jesus Christ. You can ask Mother Mary to pray for you, just like any other saint, but when you pray to God, your prayers don't pass through her first, they go directly to Christ and then to God The Father. Mary is a very important figure in Orthodoxy, but we don't worship her or put her on the same level as God.

>he's a former calvinist professor himself and is extremely meticulous about definitions.

I'm aware of what he claims to be, but honest to God, if he's being sincere, he could not have ever understood proper Calvinism and he won't accept correction. It's infuriating. His definitions may be precise, but that doesn't make them accurate.

>which is a total grasp at straws.

If he's insincere, then his consistent inability to correctly define Calvinist doctrines can only be interpreted as deceitful. I have an extremely difficult time believing that someone as intelligent as him can't accurately represent an opposing position. Would he have this same problem representing Mormon doctrines or sacralism or something? If he did, then I'd be more inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

>Even still, you have not brought an argument.

My argument is that the only way the soteriological position in OP's image seems different from Pelagianism to me is that he's trying to shoehorn in OSAS while calling it Eternal Security for some reason. (Those are not the same thing.) Otherwise his position is pretty much a point-by-point reversal of at least 4 of Calvinism's 5 points. All he did was repackage the same old nonsense under a new name to try to make it look more legitimate because he's so hung up on the idea of God not interfering with man's will.

R - He specifically says man is able to respond. This is poorly defined and doesn't make clear what his view of man's will is. Why is man able to respond? Is there some kind of enabling grace or is man's will not corrupted to begin with? He has literally said before that an exercise of man's free will is an act of "creatio ex nihilo", which gives me the impression that he has a very high view of man's condition. Maybe he just didn't understand the implications of that, but I'm not sure.

You're not meaning pelagian lightly, sure, you're just using liberally throwing it around despite the weight it carries as an accusation. That's a dumb tactic so stop using it. It doesn't help your case, traditionalism is obviously not pelagian.

What does he not understand about Calvinism that you do? You're just waving your hand alluding to these mistakes as if I'm supposed to just blindly affirm your anonymous judgment of his doctrine

The acronym is just a tool like TULIP. Criticizing how the tool is constructed is not arguing against the position.

>you're just using liberally throwing it around despite the weight it carries as an accusation.

I just went through the points that I take issue with and demonstrated exactly why I'm concerned that he may be expressing a form of Pelagianism, focusing on the ambiguity of his view of the human condition. How is that liberal usage? The defining feature of Pelagianism is a denial of original sin. The way some of those doctrines are defined logically necessitates a denial of original sin, unless he somewhere provides a mechanism around that. Feel free to provide me with a clarification from his website or something if he does that somewhere.

>traditionalism is obviously not pelagian

"Traditionalism" is not traditional by any stretch of the imagination, but regardless, the current soteriology of most Southern Baptists today is not Pelagian. I'm questioning whether he's actually even being fully consistent with them at this point. The further into explanations he tries to go to explain Free Will, the more heretical his explanations are going to have to get to give it consistency. Modern Southern Baptists can only go so deep with soteriology before they have to throw up their hands and say "It's a mystery! The roads of free will and predestination meet together in eternity!", but Leighton is trying to take it deeper. This is his area of focus and he's determined to make it work.

>What does he not understand about Calvinism that you do?

See video. That one is from Leighton's channel.

>Total Inability –→ No one can want God unless God wants them.

>Unconditional Election –→ God does not want everyone.

>Limited Atonement → God sent Christ to pay only for the sins of those He wants.

I was alone in a café in Fatima drinking my Fanta when I noticed a group of Catholic preppies (5 boys and 2 girls) sitting next to me drinking beer and bantering among themselves. One of them was wearing a medallion of Our Lady and was going on and on about how the communists are ruining the Church and how the "fags" are destroying the sanctity of marriage and so on. I thought to myself:

>"Nice, a fellow Traditional Catholic who isn't afraid to call out the reprobates".

I joined them after a while and we started talking about the moral degradation of the Church, the homosexual priests, the people being pro-abortion and female ordination and so on and, at some point, I turned to them and said:

>"Fags are a danger to the Church, that's true. But we need to remind ourselves that the first phenomenon that contributed to the desacralization of the Holy Matrimony was not fags getting married but the acceptance of divorce. In my opinion, and this is backed up by the catechism of the Catholic Church, a divorced man is as much as a degenerate as a homosexual".

Then there was a strange silence and I knew I done goofed. Dude got up and punched me in the nose:

>"Who are you calling a degenerate, you FRICKing queer? Get out of here!"

I threw my Fanta at him and we scuffled a bit until one of his friends grabbed me and brought me outside. Turns out 3 of them, 2 boys and 1 girl, were divorced. I swear none of them was older than 35.
