He discusses how the parables are not old and ancient bedtime stories but are the roadmap for believers to understand who God is, what His kingdom is, our duties and our life. He argues that Jesus never invented parables but took the style that the Old Testament prophet used and made it perfected to reveal his gospel.

Are there tongues and prophecies today?

The bible is not only book of theological but also historical. I have found this topic very controversial throughout the history of Christian after reading some books and article. I have found two group of people in the history is called cessationism and continuationism who gave their views on this topic. The people who hold the cessationism says that there is no tongue and prophecy for today because it stopped along with the end of the apostolic age.    Paul clearly says the love never falls but prophecy and tongues will be ceased it means for them it stopped    and there is no more of tongue for today.

But the believers who hold the view of the continuationism says that    tongues and prophecy is still for today.    It has not stopped...
