And where did he say he ejected all gifts of the spirit? Just because his explanation isn’t how you interpret it doesn’t mean he rejects the gift of prophecy.
Paul in the New Testament is clear about the function of prophecy, it is for the edifying of believers. But Hebrews 1:2 is clear that it is now Jesus who talks not prophets Jesus. It was Jesus who was the primary author of scripture, it was He who authored saving faith and is the perfector.
So in these last days it is Jesus who speaks not prophets who have “new revelation“.
Hi Formersda,
I supplied a link to his denial of all the gifts of the Spirit.
As if the function of prophecy didn't encompass edifying believers previously
Easton's Bible Dictionary has this to say about New Testament prophets:
In New Testament times the prophetical office was continued. Our Lord is frequently spoken of as a prophet (Luke 13:33; 24:19). He was and is the great Prophet of the Church. There was also in the Church a distinct order of prophets (1 Cor. 12:28; Eph. 2:20; 3:5), who made new revelations from God. They differed from the "teacher," whose office it was to impart truths already revealed.
That last underlined sentence in the quote above is essentially what you and Yodas_Prodigy are attempting to do with the office of prophet--make it into the same thing as a teacher. Thus y'all are pouring your own meaning into a biblical term. Cultists pour their own meanings into biblical terms and that's why it's always important to define terms when speaking with them. So feel free to supply a definition of a New Testament prophet from a mainstream Christian source which says a New Testament prophet is the same as a teacher. You won't cuz ya can't. But I'll wait.
And wait
Someone who was ever an SDA would know that Ellen White agrees with the above premise. Here are two examples:
However, that doesn't mean that God won't use prophets to correct biblical error or to prepare His people for His Son's soon return. Cultists don't understand this because they have transmogrified the office of prophet into a lesser spiritual gift of teaching.
I pray this helps.
1st Corinthians 12:28
And God appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrators, various kinds of tongues.
Ephesians 2:20 Having built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone.
Ephesians 3:5 Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit.
So the question back would be what is the mystery? What’s the mystery that Paul keeps talking about? The mystery is the gentiles being brought into the church.
I don’t need to be told by EGW to read the bible, she double talks I’ve already quoted where she says we must read her writings too.
I have never said that prophecy is a teacher, that’s you.
1st Corinthians 13:22-33
So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who be,I eve but to unbelievers, but PROPHECY is a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe.
Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;
25 the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you.
26 What is
the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
27 If anyone speaks in a tongue,
it should be by two or at the most three, and
each in turn, and one must interpret;
28 but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.
29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.
30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.
31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;
32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets;
33 for God is not
a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
If the bible is sufficient why do you need something new? And where in these verses you quoted I wrote out does it say the prophet brings new revelation?
“However, that doesn't mean that God won't use prophets to correct biblical error or to prepare His people for His Son's soon return.” So you are saying that the bible has error but EGW is without error? Why do you have a bible then?
How are you testing EGW prophecy? Is it via the interpretation of scripture EGW way or how the scriptures speak for itself? If you believe the scriptures have errors and these have been corrected by EGW then you wouldn’t be able to test her.
This is also saying God got it wrong and from the time of Moses scripture was in error so all the Jews read it wrong.
