1 | Do holy people have to speak in tongues? | 1 Cor 12:30 | Hank | 29436 | ||
Searcher, in the biblical passages wherein "tongues" always pertains to a foreign language, it seems to me that much confusion would have been spared certain readers had the translators of the earlier English versions simply have said "foreign language." It's that mystical word "tongues" that excites the imagination and leads to frequent misinterpretation. Am I wrong? --Hank | ||||||
2 | Do holy people have to speak in tongues? | 1 Cor 12:30 | retxar | 29460 | ||
Good day my friend! 1Co 14:2 For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries. (WEB) I have read the WEB (World English Bible) and I like it! It translates tongues exactly as you have suggested. However, it still says that at least in some instances, if not in every single instance, that the language spoken is a mystery, only understood by God, and no one else. retxar |
