I doubt very much I am not contributing to dialogue on the subject. Sorry u feel this way, what I am underlying is the lack of connecting the two subjects in the first comment adressed to me. Plus I am interested in discussing on the subject I have answered in the first place. Plus, I dont feel I should be made to go off on tangents that are simply not in my own personal faith, nor do not relate to my personal faith. In my faith, we speak in tongues, so, sorry if I refuse to be brought out of my own personal faith. I have answered a question as honestly and as true to my own faith, and have provided the biblical text to support it. So sorry if some do not adhere to it. Up to you to pray on it, or not. |

Lionheart was trying to get you to link 1 Corinthians 1:29 with Acts 2 (and speaking in tongues) ... including reading the CONTEXT of 1 Corinthians 1:29, which is verses 18-31, I may even start in verse 17. What do you see about being foolish and wise ... both of the flesh and God? Bottom line how does this passage relate to Acts 2? |

I maintain and reiterate, the first question posed to me, fails to draw any logical link to the subject of tongues and the speaking in tongues. So, I'n not trying to argument, but I present my opinion on the matter. And the subsequent link formed by the next interlocutor, lengthens the discussion... and the failing of the first persons out of context discussion just confuses the issue at hand. Since we are all thinking, I will try to discuss the mater further with you, but I will maintain the context that is to argue with God. An I have been offering biblical support. The rest is but argumentivive, since biblical support has been offered and submitted. As far as linking 1 Cor. 1:29 which is to be taken into this context: that, when they hear the Children of God speaking in tongues, they then think them crazy, etc., 1Co 1:27 comes to explain the spriritual significance of that they are not crazy etc, this is a "sign of the glory of God and not of men", and that is why these people in particalar spoke in tongues: 1 Cor.1:28, 29 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are 1Co 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. That no flesh so glory in his presence, come to support the spiritual notion to render all glory to God and not the understanding and intellegence of man. So, that the speaking of tongues does not come from man's intelegence and works, but comes form God's. And how does it link or relate to Acts 2, well the Pentecost had been giving to the apostles, so that Jesus leaves with them a consolor, the Holy Spirit. Let us be reminded that the Holy Spirit God - God the Father, God the Sun and God the Holy Ghost... There where there present, people from many nations, being there had been a great assembly, many came from far to be with the disciples and the apostles. Upon hearing them speak in tongues a discussion ensued and questioning on what caused these men, apparently not that high cast in society to speak thus in languages that these people from a large variety of places could understand what they spoke, each in their own languages, native tongues. It is not of their own personal education or background, these men, were but ordinairy fishemen and the like, and yet they were heard speaking in many languages, those of people present. It was a sign!!! Back then, these comments and adjectives, such as vile, crazy etc. were given most especially to christians. And God wants the world to know that, these people called crazy, where not crazy, and that they were given this gift to confound the wise of the world, with a gift of the Holy Spirit who is not of this world. Also, when we speak of these things happening for the glory of God, I am reminded of the battle we lead, we are not fighting the men are would say they are wise etc., we are fighting the principalities and the dominitions, etc., of this world. It is not for our own glory , but for the glory of God. Yes the Spirit of God will be spread on all, who invoques the name of the Lord will be saved. Hope I answered you properly, and to your satisfaction, if not, perhapes you can be a bit more specific. Because being view as being foolish and wise... etc. both of the flesh and of God, as far as I'm concerned I have just answered as clearly as possible. But if you feel I have not, I invited you to further discussion on the matter. |
