House Church Talk - cessation of spiritual gifts

[jesusislord343 at juno.com]

Dear Ross and saints,
It is edifying to read your discussion.  I'm presently unable to engage
in a dialogue on these things as I'd like, but I will here briefly pose
one question for consideration (in addition to Bruce's below) related to
the text in question of I Corinthians 13:

Did Paul live to see the completion of the canon of scripture?  

[Noticing that Paul said that *he personally* would know fully as he was
fully known, at the coming perfection.]

Grace in Christ,
Glenn

these things have already happened and when (at what point in history)
you think they happened.
