Pentecostal Church: The scriptures tell us that the "law and the Prophets" were until John, since that time the Kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it." (Luke 16:16) What's more, we read in Matt. 21:37, in Christ's parable of the husbandmen, that He compares himself to the son that "Last of all He sent unto them His son, saying, they will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him." (Matt. 21:37-39) we find, therefore, that Christ was the last prophet sent to the world, and John was the last prophet sent to the Jews. How do you explain that?
Missionaries: That's quite an interpretation you got out of those scriptures. Luke tells us the "Law and Prophets were until John," and since Acts 3:22 tells us that Christ was a prophet and He came after John, undoubtedly it referred to the law in Luke 16, and Christ did away with that law. That Christ was the last prophet to the world confirms your ignorance. Now going on to read that He was merely the last prophet sent to the Jews we read in Matt. 21:43, and Acts 11: 27 where it tells us after the death of Christ there were prophets at Jerusalem; Acts 15:32 tells us Judas and Silas were prophets, and Acts 21:10 tells us Agabus was a prophet, and you forgot that Christ chose those apostles, which were also prophets. The scriptures prove that Eph. 4:11 meant by saying until we come to the Unity, etc., that there were prophets and apostles after Christ died and that there were always to be living prophets and apostles. Is there any other church on earth that you know of that even claims to have these priesthood offices as their leadership?
