Thank you - I hope you are doing well also. I do appreciate speaking with you and you have my respect.Hello Always! Good to hear from you. I hope you're doing well today.
That's true- but it is also the ONLY instance of this type of mass healing reported. None of the others are mentioned ministering healing on such a mass footing - I don't generally take a one time instance and make it a blanket statement. That is just how I was taught.For example all those on whom Peter's shadow fell were healed:
Acts 5:14-16 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.
Not that I am aware of. Nor did it ever happen again that I know of.I don't think there's anything like this today?
He was the last of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb - and we agree that the canon was closed.Yes the Word Of God the Bible is still inspired. The writing is ended as you say, but that's because there are no more apostles to write scripture? The Canon closed when the Apostle John died, because he was the last.
We believe that the Word of God is Holy Spirit Breathed - but you do realize that Luke and Mark were not Apostles, yet God used them to write the Gospels and the Book of Acts.What an apostle wrote was considered to be part of the Bible, the inspired word of God, just as if God himself was speaking.
As Peter said about Paul's writings:
There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures (2 Peter 3:16).
Where does Scripture state that?In the bible the words of a real Prophet or Apostle were considered to be infallible, the very words of God. It's a high standard.
No -Could that be talking of the closed Canon, which we now have?
13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God - have we done this?
, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; - are we a perfect man to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ?
14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine - Have we stopped being tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine? Look to CF as a micrcasm and how many doctrines there are just here.
by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting - has this ended.
God Bless You also my friend.
