Your assertion via I Cor 13:8-10 that tongues was to be temporary is illogical on the face of it.

If KNOWLEDGE HAD PASSED AWAY as would have to have happened for tongues to have also passed away--You'd not be able to assert much of anything about much of anything.

Where is the perfect knowledge that has come?

Joel asserts that propehcies etc. were for our entire era. Why do you find it so ?reflexively? necessary to disagree with him?

I had that same unconsidered, kneejerk response when I was a charismatic.

But think again: what is "knowledge"? Is it really an improvement to say that "the perfect" is Jesus, or Heaven, or the Second Coming? As you are (mis)taking "knowledge," will knowledge pass away at the return of Christ, or in Heaven? I daresay knowledge will increase beyond our wildest imagination.

Try again. Look at the context, near and far. It will lead you in a different direction than that you've found comfortable in the past.
