1 | Holy Spirt w/ evidence of tongues? | 1 Cor 12:10 | Aspiring Overseer | 114775 | ||
Elmo, The miraculous gifts were established for what purpose? Was it not to confirm the validity of God's Word? Once it was obvious throughout the world that His word was the truth, there was no need for the confirmation. Thus we see even Paul's ability to use the gifts wane until they were no more. The "partial" that he mentions to the Corinthians is the need of these gifts to accompany and thereby confirm God's Word until the written form of God's Word was in place. That is "the perfect" and is, of course, here today. Complete, perfect and unchanging in every detail. As an aside, if tongues or healing existed today there would be 100 percent sucess in curing the sick and all tongues could be validated as an intelligable language. Even if we go with the suggestion that the "tongues of angels" in 1 Co 13:1, is a language unknown to man, Paul still commands that they not be spoken publically (1 Co 14:28) if there is no interpreter. This likely was a safeguard against those in the body who did not truely have the gift of tongues, but felt compelled to display it. To falsify the gift and bring others into their sin would corrupt the body, thus Paul directed it only be done in private. How someone desires to worship God in private is upon their own head. This was always the case in the NT and remains so today. AO |

Scripture ... 1 Cor 13:1, 8-10 .................. AO ... What language did the angels speak to man? - In the language the man understood - not some strange tongue. If the angels did speak in some strange tongue, now, what will they speak when they cease? Ask these two questions when someone says the angels speak a language unknown to man. Please, read my note to Kalos ... |

Word Study ... katargeo - pauo .............. Scripture ... 1 Cor 13:8-10 ................. The time and how knowledge and prophecy will end differently from when tongues will Knowledge and prophecy "done away" with (katargeo - Strong's 2673). The perfect will actively do away with the partial (knowledge and prophecy). The future passive indicative voice of katargeo indicates when the perfect comes ... it will cause the partial (knowledge and prophecy) to be done away. Tongues are said to "cease" (pauo - Strong's 3973) and will cease of themselves. The Greek future middle indicative voice of pauo, which is defined as "an action taken by the subject upon him, her, or itself" ... will cease not because of the perfect coming, or anything else. Knowledge and prophecy in verse 9 are both present tense. The perfect, teleios, in verse 10 is a neuter noun with a definite article ... it is not coming of a person and His return is not a completed thing in Scripture. Some say this means when the NT was complete ... but, I do not know. Also, I do not know when tongues will be no more. |
