1 | Can anyone speak in tonges | 1 Cor 13:1 | Searcher56 | 167627 | ||
Scripture ... Acts 2:8 "And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?" ... You said "Tongues was not a "known" language in the book of the Acts." Read the context of the verse cited ... the speakers didn't study the language they were speaking. Also Alexander the Great had conquered most to the area of the listeners - while Greek may have been forced on them, they still kept their language. The reason for an interpreter was most of the listeners didn't know the foreign language, so they needed to hear it ... maybe it was Greek. Searcher |

2 | Can anyone speak in tonges | 1 Cor 13:1 | Shythiyl | 167671 | ||
I have read and understood the context of that verse, as well as those surrounding it. You add much to what is said. The passage you speak of, plainly states "And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" This is hardly interpretation... It is evident from this passage and the context surrounding it, as well as what Paul states concerning "tongues," that this divine gift of language is unknown TO ALL. Thus when it is used in the Church, there is to be an interpretor, for otherwise, it edifys none other than the individual. I challenge you to provide scripture stating anything other than "all HEARD the speaking in their own language." Those speaking were not speaking in the particular languages heard. They were PLAINLY speaking in an UNKNOWN tongue. Scripture states nowhere that the tongues mentioned was unknown to "some." An unknown tongue is UNKNOWN. I do not recall any "interpreters" in the book of Acts. Paul speaks of such when the gift is excercised in the Church only. Again, I would politely ask, Please provide some scriptural foundation for your statements, or admit that you have nothing other than conjecture. |

Scripture ... 1Co 14:2, 4, 13, 14, 19, 27 ... In these verses KJV says "unknown" tongue, without agnostos or areneo being in the text. Therefore, there is no mention of "unknown tongue" in the Bible. Notice if it is singular or plural. Do you think that is important? Read my post 116386 also 48618 to see the clear purpose of tongues. |

Searcher56, not that this particular topic is one of any great importance, and I mean no disrespect, but I immediately loose respect when I see one who professes Christianity, no matter how learned they may consider themselves, labeling that which they do not understand in scripture, as demonic. Though, ignoring the bias, I agreed with much of what you said in the first post you mention. The second however, managed to loose my attention after about 7 or 8 words. No doubt you have been resident this forum long enough to get away with such boisterous and rude comments, but you wouldn't want to hear mine concerning your utter lack of Christianlike kindness and brotherly love in referencing a topic concerning which, you so evidently twist and distort scripture. I am agreeing to disagree, continuing, and doing so, in brotherly love, and not desiring to carry this discussion on any farther God Bless you my brother.. |

It is amazing when I pointed out that your use of UNKNOWN proved it to be INVALID you said it wasn't important ... it is not the firdt time. ... I do understand Scripture. I am sorry since you think I am boisterous and rude. |

What is amazing is that you really believe you have "proven" something concerning this topic. I doubt this is the first time you have convinced yourself in such a manner. Searcher, what may I ask do you consider important when it comes to the Living Word? Is it more important that we debate and understand trivial matters, or that we do His will in living and spreading that word? You have yet to "prove" anything invalid. An unknown tongue, be it plural or otherwise is still an unknown tongue. Your rationalization changes absolutely nothing. And the fact that you wish to make it appear that what was and is is not, changes nothing either. I hope you do not feel that I was calling you names, for this was not my intention. I was simply stating my thoughts concerning the wording of your post which you referenced. If I were to state that belief in eternal salvation is "a very common demonic doorway," I expect it would cause a pretty big stir among those who hold such a belief. Your statement in post #48618 is comparable to such. Your servant. S |
