1 Corinthians 13 "the perfect" does not refer to the completed canon — cessationism refuted

Q&A question about whether 1 Corinthians 13 latter half refers to the completed canon of Scripture.

Mike addresses the cessationist argument that "the perfect" in 1 Corinthians 13:10 refers to the completed biblical canon, after which prophecy, tongues, and words of knowledge ceased. He rejects this interpretation. He reads the passage: love never ends, prophecies will pass away, tongues will cease, knowledge will pass away, for we know in part and prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes the partial will pass away. He argues the context — seeing God face to face and knowing fully as we are known — describes the eternal state in the presence of God, not the completion of the biblical text.
