1 Cor 14:2 It is an unknown language only speaking to God. How could that mean some other known language. I don't think God would give me gift of speaking French to only speak to Him. That makes no sense! | ||||||

Greetings strts5! It is an interesting conversation on the passage! Your post does not reflect what the scripture actually says. The scripture does say "no one understands" in reference to the tongue being spoke. However, it does not say "It is an unknown language". I also do not believe that you will find in scripture anywhere that "glossa" referring to the gift is ever used to reference an "unknown language" (i.e. as if unknown to mankind). If it is please point it out for me :-) It may be that those of the Corinthian church might not have "known" the tongue but neither would a room full of English speaking people who didn't understand French if you were there praying in French. That does not mean it is an unknown language unless we are only referring to it being unknown to the English speaking people in the room. Steve |

NASB 2For one who (E)speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks (F)mysteries. 2b ... no one understands... "I also do not believe that you will find in scripture anywhere that "glossa" referring to the gift is ever used to reference an "unknown language" (i.e. as if unknown to mankind). If it is please point it out for me :-) " If no one understands, I think it safe to say it is unknown. no one knows and unknown are interchangeable. I don't want to poke at you here, so please don't take it that way, but... " It may be that those of the Corinthian church might not have "known" the tongue". Why would God give me the supernatural gift of speaking in French if nobody in the room speaks French? It just doesn't make sense. I'm not sure where your going with that line of thought. In Love, Mike |

Hi Mike, You ask: "Why would God give me the supernatural gift of speaking in French if nobody in the room speaks French?" Okay: Why would God give you ANY language, that no one in the room speaks? You see what the problem is? He certainly wouldn't, would He? Now that would surly, as you have said yourself, not make sense. John |
