1 | Tongues, madness or sign for unbeliever | 1 Cor 14:22 | NYP | 151279 | ||
That is one that I don't have Hank, but I do believe that note "almost" hits the nail on the head. No doubt tongues could, at times be "Known languages," but I believe that in the book of Acts, they were "ecstatic utterances." How else could one have understood in his own language what was being spoken by one who did not speak his language, while at the same time, another who spoke a third language understood what was being spoken as well? No doubt there are rational explinations for much of what is spiritual, but my question is, "why must the fact that there is the supernatural, which has no natural or rational explination, constantly be denied?" |

2 | Tongues, madness or sign for unbeliever | 1 Cor 14:22 | Searcher56 | 151331 | ||
NYP, God's day to you, You wrote "No doubt tongues could, at times be "Known languages," but I believe that in the book of Acts, they were "ecstatic utterances." How else could one have understood in his own language what was being spoken by one who did not speak his language, while at the same time, another who spoke a third language understood what was being spoken as well?" How could they be "ecstatic utterances"? Please define what you mean by "ecstatic utterances". Is what being spoken known by at least one person in the audience? We know this happened in Acts 2. If it is a "known language" can it be "ecstatic utterances"? Based on the other references of tongues (and the defintion of the word), I concluded that Acts 10 and 19 are also times when a known tongue was spoken. "Ecstatic utterances" ... which I say is no language at all, is what the pagans did first and the church has copied. |

Greetings Searcher! It is interesting to note that Scripture never once speaks of 'ecstatic utterances'. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

5 | Just an innocent question | 1 Cor 14:22 | eowyn7378 | 151350 | ||
I am just curious(and not wanting to come across mean or start anything), but then what is it that makes one think tongues is not used today? When someone stands up in church and speaks in an unknown tongue and someone interprets? I have seen an interpretation before and had it happen to me. But like I said before- this will be a never ending debate. Because it is in the way one perceives what they read in the scripture. Now, some read scripture and want to perceive differently from what is says, because someone said it was just pure laziness or something to effect to perceive the word differently. At any rate everyone's minds work differently. Perception is different, just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If tongues doesn't excist then what is the feeling that comes over us when the spirit moves and we speak in tongues? :-) | ||||||

Hi eowyn, You're asking a sincere question with a right motive. I would encourage you to re-read the post from kalos by Daniel Wallace. There are some sound words of wisdom given. I think you might have overlooked his point:-) I don't know what the "feeling" that comes over someone "when the spirit moves and we speak in tongues" as I've never had that experience. Now, let me qualify what I just said. Simply because one has not had a certain experience doesn't mean that they can't discern from the Word. Further, we must ALWAYS judge an experience from the Word of God- not vice-versa! Experience is not to be our guide. Scripture never speaks of "feelings" in regard to our faith. Faith always has an object and that object is not feelings. I hope this provides some clarification. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
