"He [the Apostle Paul] brings forward similitudes [an analogy], first from musical instruments, and then afterwards from the nature of things generally, there being no voice that has not some peculiarity, suitable for distinction. (C'est a dire, pour signifier quelque chose.) 'Even things without life,' says he, 'instruct us.' There are, it is true, many random sounds or crashes, without any modulation (sans mesure ou distinction), but Paul speaks here of voices in which there is something of art, as though he had said -- 'A man cannot give life to a harp or flute, but he makes it give forth a sound that is regulated in such a manner, that it can be distinguished. How absurd then it is, that even men, endowed with intelligence, should utter a confused, indistinguishable sound!'" --John Calvin (1509-1564) from his Commentary on the Epistles to the Corinthian Church |

No scripture! Merely a man's opinion. Paul says he spoke in the tongue of angels 1Cor 13:1.. I guess Calvin thought that was foolishness. Paul also said to speak in tongues was to talk to God 1Cor 14:2 I guess Calvin thought talking to God was also foolish. So now this opinion sounds to be more than a mere man's opinion. But rather a foolish man's opinion. |
