Hi,
I have a question (or two). I just tuned in late today and read this long discussion. Admittedly, I have read through it somewhat rapidly and I probably should re-read it before posting, but if I do I won't have time to post. So, if I totally missed something, feel free to let me know (as if anyone needed my permission
). One thing kept standing out to me, so I want to ask about it. I think it was
OBW that said in context the verses in I Corinthians 14 do not support
all prophesying in a meeting. Since, I have been working on loving the words of the Bible, and I have also been cultivating, somewhat, a habit of digging into those words when I have a question, I just read I Cor 14:23 to 14:33 again. It seemed to me that there was more support there for
all prophesying than for just two or three (noting verses 24 and 26).
Also, in v. 29, (which I think must be the verse that was referred to as support for the interpretation that just two or three should prophesy) it says, let the prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge. I was wondering what "let the others judge" might mean. In other words, just how would "the others" judge? Silently? Or would they speak in order to question, confirm, etc.
Okay, there you have my questions. Now I'll go cook dinner for the hungry at my house and check back later for the good feedback that I'm sure you all will give.
Thankful Jane
