Is "Cessationism" A Correct Bible Understanding & Teaching
. . . What Do You Say?

(See 1st Corinthians 13:8-12)


The Watchtower Society believes and teaches "Cessationism."

In short, a simplified definition of the term: Cessationism is the view that the “miracle gifts” of tongues and healing have ceased—that the end of the apostolic age brought about a cessation of the miracles associated with that age. Most cessationists believe that, while God can and still does perform miracles today, the Holy Spirit no longer uses individuals to perform miraculous signs.


The Watchtower Society's above erroneous viewpoint is mistakenly based upon, SINGULARLY, a faulty misinterpretation of the following bible text:

1 Corinthians 13th chapter:

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, THE PARTIAL WILL PASS AWAY. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

(End Part 1)
