1 | tongues? | Bible general Archive 3 | Liliesofthefield | 178106 | ||
Well, yes, and why wouldnt God chose to communicate through His inerrant, inspired, authoritative Word without tongues!!! But the "God being God" theorem does not necessarily forego what God has done, and why he does it, because God being God, well sometimes His wisdom just surpases us all, even me included!!! Here I am a french speaking person, somehow writting all this in English. And why not? We can read in Gen. 11:9 that God, in his wisdom, had to confond language: Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. God, in His wisdom, did create nations: Gen 10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. Speaking in tongues can be incomprehensible langage to you and me, and it can be also made comprehensible, and for specific reason of course. We can read this in Act 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 1Co 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 1Co 14:21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other, lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. The reason why God gives the gift of tongues is: 1Co 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. The speaking in tongues is for edification of the Church: 1Co 14:23 If therefore the whole church become together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? 1Co 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all 1Co 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. 1Co 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 1Co 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. So, as we can see, sometimes God just has a good reason for doing things like encouraging us to talk in tongues... |

Lillie, My discussion on this matter will end with this: 1 Cor 12:30 "All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?" The implied answer is NO. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
