I also wonder how the murder of Bishop Sharp was justified in the minds of those who perpetrated it.
I can envisage the devil determining to do some evil event and then suggesting its occurence to the believer, since he clearly continues to speak to Christians through suggestion to this very day. I can also envisage people accepting such predictions and acting, a la Macbeth, to bring them to pass.
I am somewhat surprised to see how many Bible commentators took the view that "perfect" in 1 Corinthians 13 refers to the next life rather than the completion of canon, even Matthew Henry. Can anyone state the case for the view that the perfect state refers to the completion of canon, and most specifically, how this squares with Paul's comment that "now I know in part, but then I shall know even as also I am known", since Paul was dead by the time the canon was completed?
Friends, I am not trying to prove anything other than the truth here. I am trying to be objective, although I will admit my heart wants the cessationist position to be true.
