1 | How do you interpret this verse? | 1 Cor 14:2 | Scribe | 53840 | ||
Wow, how blashphemous. This is the depth of intellectual dishonesty some are willing to go out of fear of the Gifts of the Spirit. Would he say Paul was guilty of this paganism, since Paul said in this Chapter, "I speak in tongues more than ye all" and "forbid not to speak in tongues" This type of interpretation is beneath commenting on because the person doing it could not possibly believe it to be true in the context of the passage. It must be an attempt to slander the Holy Spirit Gifts and that is a very dangerous thing. I never try to convince someone who does not want to learn about tongues but I always feel God's anger at an atempt to change the word to teach somehthing that would slander what the saints did in Acts. It is one thing to say you think it does not happen today. It is quite another to say what the apostles did was "not of God". When a preacher does that he seems to be lining up with the Pharisees. |

Greeting Scribe, I think the situation is not so worse. The pastor believe that "speak in tongue" (1 Cor 14:4) is different from "speak in tongues"(1 Cor 14:5). "Speak in tongue" is to pagan God. "Speak in tongues" is to God. So he conclude that Paul rebuke church of Corinth using "speaking in tongue to pagan god" to edify themself(1 Cor 14:4) |

Greetings Ivory313! In general, the singular 'tongue' refers to a specific act of speaking. No one can speak in 'tongues', one can only speak one 'tongue' at a time. Here are the verses were a singular tongue is referenced in 1 Cor. 14. 1) 1 Cor. 14:2 - "For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit." 2) 1 Cor. 14:4 - "He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church." 3) 1 Cor. 14:9 - "So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air." 4) 1 Cor. 14:13 - "For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says." 5) 1 Cor. 14:14 - "For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful." 6) 1 Cor. 14:19 - "But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue." 7) 1 Cor. 14:26 - "What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church." 8) 1 Cor. 14:27 - "If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret." Verses 13 and 27 both give instructions about a 'tongue' being interpreted. Therefore, a 'tongue' cannot be refering to a false 'tongue'. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
