Are Signs and Wonders for Today?: A Biblical Assessment
Are signs and wonders for today? 🤔 In this powerful episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, host Dr. Paul D. Weaver tackles this hot-button issue by asking a more fundamental question: What were signs for in the Bible? Drawing from his personal experiences in charismatic and Pentecostal churches, Paul shares his journey of evaluating these practices against the ultimate authority—Scripture. He then breaks down his essential "Theological Method" pyramid, explaining the foundational steps from presuppositions to practical theology that every believer must understand to build sound doctrine.
In this episode, you'll discover: -The Biblical Purpose of Signs & Wonders: How they authenticated Jesus and the Apostles, and why that matters today. -A Personal Story: Paul's candid childhood experiences with speaking in tongues, healing, and the emotional weight of charismatic practices. -The 6-Level Theological Pyramid: Learn how Presuppositions, Hermeneutics -Exegesis, Biblical Theology, Systematic Theology, and Practical Theology work together to form a solid faith. -Scriptural Deep Dive: Examining key passages in Matthew, John, and Acts that define the true role of miracles. -A Warning About False Signs: What the Bible says about the deceptive miracles of the Antichrist. -The Final Verdict: Are sign gifts like miracles and healing for today? The answer may surprise you. If you've ever wondered about the role of miracles, the charismatic movement, or how to interpret the Bible correctly, this episode is for you. Learn why we are called to preach the Gospel—not crave signs—as the power of God for salvation.
