Episode notes
Apparent Spiritual Conflict In Acts
- Acts 21:4 shows godly believers received Spirit-led warnings that conflicted with Paul's prior sense to go to Jerusalem.
- This reveals biblical instances where divine revelation and human interpretation can appear to conflict without implicating God.
Vocabulary Can't Hide Circular Reasoning
- Cessationists sometimes re-label prophetic words as 'impressions' to avoid admitting prophetic error.
- That move is circular if you define prophecy as never able to err and then exclude any example that appears to.
Luke's Language Points To Prophecy
- Luke consistently uses the phrase 'through the Spirit' to describe prophecy across Acts, linking Acts 11 and Acts 21.
- Therefore Acts 21:4 fits Luke's prophetic vocabulary, not a different category like 'impression.'
