I am leading a seminar at MYC with my co-worker Tracey on 'the Spirit and Prophecy'. The seminar description I have written:
What does the Old Testament say about prophecy? Is there prophecy today? Did prophecy die out with the apostles? All may be revealed.
I don't know if anyone will come. Or even if I'll have anything to teach them but I'm beginning to try and form some definitive statements about prophecy.
Prophecy and teaching have much in common.
Prophecy and teaching are different.
That's all I've got so far. Mainly due to the fact there are prohibitions on teaching that are not attached to prophecy. I am not sure at what point they are different, but they certainly are.
Wrong response: Because it's hard to determine their difference we just take them to be the same thing.
Right response: Work hard to understand the difference, and apply it as we meet.
Welcome to the blogsphere dude.
ReplyDeleteI think you've started making a good distinction here Izaac. It's oversimplifying to simply mash the two together. Looking forward to hearing how you unpack things.
