God’s anointing must be dead and buried with Him somewhere

[John Zain]

In the OT … we see that God anointed His special prophets with visions, dreams,
words of knowledge, miracles, etc. so they could bless His chosen people.
This anointing was when God’s Spirit came UPON them.

In the NT … we see that God anointed Jesus and the apostles with spiritual gifts
so they could bless people, most of whom would inherit salvation.
This anointing was when God’s Spirit came UPON them (not IN them).

But then, the apostles died, and so did God.
So, He obviously couldn’t anoint anyone else ever again!
‘Tis an awful shame.

But, wait, Satan came to the rescue! … Praise God!
He carried on when God couldn’t.
He anointed Christians to be used in the gifts of healing, miracles, etc.
Millions of people have been healed and miracles have been performed
all over the world through evangelists when they preach the gospel message.

Now, here comes MY big problem …
no one, anywhere, can tell me why Satan would do this!

People pray in the name of Jesus, and Satan responds with his glorious S-W-M.
Satan works, and God gets all the glory. Nice arrangement.

Oh well, who am I to worry? … C’est la vie!

The apostles died and the Gifts with them, but why where the apostles anointed? to teach the Gospel, and why doesn't anyone have to be anointed? because the Gospel is now given, your so called claimed to be anointed evangelists cannot tell us anything the Gospel has not already done.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 (KJV)
14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

It's not the glory satan is after, its your soul.

God's dead? Sorry - I missed that news bulletin.

As far as I know God is alive and well.

Apostles preached the gospel verbally.

Post-apostles preached the gospel verbally.
They couldn't hand out tracts and Bibles until the printing press.

But, I can't figure out if this closer to rocket science or brain surgery.

They did it by inspiration (God Breathed) the Holy Spirit moved them, they had no bibles.

Where do you think your bible originally came from? hand written scrolls

But, I can't figure out if this closer to rocket science or brain surgery.
