“Pharisees were the upstanding “conservative evangelical pastors” of their day, strongly convinced of the inerrancy of Scripture and its sufficiency for guidance in every area of life, if only it could be properly interpreted.69 Yet it is precisely such an environment in which a healthy perspective on the Bible can easily give way to legalism.”
Craig L. Blomberg, Jesus and the Gospels

“Those who still defend cessationism risk quenching the Spirit (contra 1 Thess. 5:19) and inappropriately closing themselves and others off from the full range of blessings God might have for them and from potentially the greatest amount of effective service for his kingdom. Without swinging the pendulum to the opposite extreme and embracing the various abuses of the charismata or trying to imitate the Spirit’s work in one’s own strength, cessationists really should cease trying to limit God in how he chooses to work in his world today. It is, in essence, a form of antisupernaturalism for all the postapostolic eras of Christianity.”
Craig Blomberg, Can We Still Believe the Bible?: An Evangelical Engagement with Contemporary Questions

“It was expected that men would marry, and it was assumed something was wrong if they didn't. Later rabbis often quoted the saying, “He who has no wife dwells without good, without help, without joy, without blessing, and without atonement” (Gen. Rab. 17.2)!”
