Comment on Is the recession turning people back to God? by Bible quizzing

Yes, one of the passages that God has been highlighting to me is:

Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.

I think that means that we should not trust in our economy, or in the nations economy, but in God alone.

That is a huge accomplishment. I can’t even fathom. Do you have a list of all the countries that are represented by those visitors? that would be interesting.

Bible quizzing has had quite explosive growth since it’s start in Kansas City in the ’40s.

Maybe they were just frustrated because they didn’t score 100%

They bring up an interesting point. The multitude of translations of the Bible will naturally lead one to ask: “OK, which one is the ‘right’ Bible?

The Christian doctrine of inerrancy is not based on any one translation, but on the assurance that the original documents were inspired by God.

The Oneness Pentecostals do… they have about 24 million followers and are one of the main 3 groups of Pentecostalism, so it’s by no means a small group – though I suppose they might not be as common where you are.

I don’t know of anyone who thinks that speaking with tongues has anything to do with salvation. I keep hearing this arugument over and over and it seems to be contrived to gain the support of the reader toward the author’s point of view. In fact, none of the main Pentecostal or Spirit filled denominations teach this doctrine. There may be some obscure splinter groups who teach this, but certainly not the great majority.

1 Corinthians 14 – In this chapter the apostle directs them about the use of their spiritual gifts, preferring those that are best and fitted to do the greatest good. He begins with advising them of all spiritual gifts to prefer prophesying, and shows that this is much better than speaking with tongues (1Co 14:1-5). He goes on to show them how unprofitable the speaking of foreign languages is, and useless to the church; it is like piping in one tone, like sounding a trumpet without any certain note, like talking gibberish; whereas gifts should be used for the good of the church (1Co 14:6-14). This clearly suggests that speaking in tongues is not necessary for salvation, otherwise Paul would have placed greater importance on them.

In the 4th part of can christians speak in tongues, David Willey goes through 1st Cor 12 & 13 and then stops. I was wondering how he would explain away chapter 14 but he didn’t. He just ignored it. Like he says at the end, let’s just get back to the Bible and see what it really says. Read chapter 14 in context and see if his arguments against speaking in tounges hold any validity.
