1 | gift of tongues- t/lation of 1Cor14:2 | 1 Cor 14:2 | chris moyler | 183239 | ||
I am still seeking the correct use of the gift of tongues. As part of my study, I have found that one teacher maintains that in this text "does not speak to men but to God" could equally well be rendered "to a god". NASB and Amplified have both chosen "God". Are there strong textual reasons for the translators choosing "God" in preference to "a god"? This question is not at all academic because some maintain that the gift of tongues is not to be used in a private devotional manner, whereas the plain sense of the translation seems to say to me that to use the gift in this manner is perfectly proper. | ||||||

The gift of tongues is what it is,a gift from GOD.GOD gives gifts out of love,like he does everything else.GOD didnt give you a gift to hide away.GODS gifts are ment to be used.I speak in tongues all the time;at church,home,work.I dont do it to impress or scare others.Speaking in tongues bypasses our carnal thinking.This is how I learned to disern the voice of the LORD from other voices in my soul( which is your mind,will,emotions).Its a direct connection to GOD.Have fun with it.Learn his voice.Learn how to hear and move by the spirit. | ||||||

Hello PDAL, It would be hard to argue with your reflections of experience since they are just that. However, I can only hope you show as much LOVE- if not more- as you speak in tongues. Love is the greater. If I might ask, how does "Speaking in tongues bypasses our carnal thinking"? Personally, I hear and move by the spirit(sic) through reading and meditating on God's word and prayer! Dr. James Raiford, in his current exposition on 1 Corinthians, "The Corinthian Confusion" offers this point: "Historically, within the ranks of evangelical Bible teaching churches, there has and continues to be an erosion of the graces of the Spirit and the elevation of the Gifts of the Spirit. The implications communicated are alarming within Christian church families. Galatians is clear at this point: love is the product of the Holy Spirit and just because you are a Christian does not mean you are walking in the Spirit. The passage in Acts states it clearly: God says the early church communicated their love for one another. The Corinthian congregation was instructed in depth on the subject of love." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
