God's day to you, Tim, You know Greek better than most (dare I say everyone) at the SBF. I would say there is no place in Scripture that tongues is an unknown language. In Acts 2:8, we read "And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?" Which I think is interesting, considering Greek was spoken by most of the listeners. S |

2 | should all we be speaking tongues aloud | 1 Cor 14:23 | Morant61 | 187236 | ||
Greetings Steve! Certainly, I would agree that the KJV's 'unknown' addition would not be supported by the text. :-) However, I am also concerned about the 'only earthly languages' argument as well. For the most part, nothing is really given in the text to specify if the languages were always known human languages or not. There are a couple of incidents like Acts 2:8, but even in Acts 2:8, the miracles may have been one of hearing, not speaking. :-) Finally, we have 1 Cor. 13 which speaks of the tongue of men and angels. The tongue of angels would certainly not qualify as a known earthly language. I am just naturally hesitant to go beyond what the text actually says, and simply put, nowhere does Scripture say that 'tongues' are always known earthly languages. p.s. - Keep me in your prayers, I had to get 10 stitches in my left hand on Monday. :-( Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
