1 | does satan know what is said in tongues | Bible general Archive 4 | corrective | 210663 | ||
Maybe. (Read all the way to the end of my short post before reacting or responding.) If it's a KNOWN tongue of men or of angels, then SOMEONE may be able to get an interpretation or translation out of it. 1 Cor. 13:1 suggests it could be either. So, I don't see why not. But it would be more like whatever spirit or demon is listening would know. I doubt that satan himself spends much time following just ANY Christian around; and would probably focus on those higher up in authority in the Church, and on those who do the most Spiritual warfare. In the KJV, the word "unknown" is added in front of the word tongue in various passages; but it's clearly added to the text. If you take 1 Cor. 14:2 (KJV) awfully literally, then no one understands; but I never really took it that literally, but in the general context of a gift of language within most assemblies, and that, usually, no one understands what is being said, without an interpretation. I don't take it to mean that no one in the whole world would know what it meant, but that people often got a gift of language that they, and most or all of the people in their locale, did not understand. Of course, this is only one kind of tongues, and there is more than one kind (1 Cor. 12:10; 1 Cor. 14:22; and Acts 2:4-12). I don't see a need to add "unknown" in front of the word; though in most situations, it's most likely not known to the speaker. --corrective. ©2008. |

Dear Correy, (I hope you don't mind the nickname) :-) you wrote: "I doubt that satan himself spends much time following just ANY Christian around;" (sic) Scripture has something entirely different to say about that. "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1 Pet 5:8 Speculation and opinion don't carry much weight around here, though these things are present, and not inherently wrong, we do require however, that someone be able to back up their opinion with Scripture. Please review the TOU (Terms Of Use) before you post. This is a sola Scripture Bible study forum not an opinion speculation forum. Thank you and welcome. God bless John |

I'll try to use Scripture when it doesn't seem obvious, but I thought it was pretty apparent that satan himself would usually rather focus on the big fry rather than the small fry, which is what I basically said. I certainly didn't exclude anyone in my statement, just said that satan wouldn't spend MUCH time on it. However, I have just posted a lengthy response to this, with several Scripture, as someone else also asked about it. That is a good verse to show that if "hungry" enough, and if finding a random soul lacking enough guard, the adversary might try to take a bite! --corrective. Correy? Yeah, don't like it, lol. ©2008. |

Dear corrected, aah corrective, sorry... :-) Big fry? Little fry? Sorry my friend, I have no idea what you are talking about. "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 1 Cor 12:13 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Gal 3:28 And if I may add my two widows mites. There is neither big fry nor small fry. stjohn 1:1 |
