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. |

3 | Please give me your take... | Bible general Archive 4 | corrective | 210660 | ||
I saw a version once that translated the passage to say something to the effect that the "one" being used was in reference to them being one Spiritually, or something similar to that. I don't know Greek well, so I cannot comment on that, but if so, then most major versions are incorrect. But, it would be fitting that an initial qualification -- for a certain leader in the Church -- would be that his own house would be in order vs. having divisions between him and his wife, while he was beginning a position of leadership of "The House of God". --corrective. ©2008. |

4 | Is it a total lie? | Bible general Archive 4 | corrective | 210659 | ||
What is the question? What's the "it" in reference to in the question "Is it a total lie?" Were you trying to reply to someone's post, and it got orphaned? Not just any doctrine would "condemn" a person. There is a principle of majoring on the majors, and minoring on the minors. I believe elohim judges similarly. Not just any doctrine would "save". For Example: The Bible says it is the Gospel that is the power of God to salvation, not just any random doctrine. The Gospel is defined within 1 Corinthians 15:1-4f. The Gospel, and steps to obey it, are recorded pretty much in full maybe once, in Acts 2. Romans 1:15-16 says, "So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it/that is the power of God to salvation to everyone who believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Paul in his writings gives severe warnings about anyone who preaches some other so-called Gospel. --corrective. ©2008. |

6 | Why couldnt the demons say who Jesus is? | Mark 1:34 | corrective | 210655 | ||
Oops. I answered a question under azurelaw's post, not seeing this original question. Various Good reasons! Demons would not have represented Him properly. People would have unnecessarily connected Messiah to satan. Not a Good connection. LOL. And, something like this might have occurred--sorry for the KJVish wordings-- Act 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: Act 16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation. Act 16:18a And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved.... Yes, It was quite distracting, and a nuisance. So finally Paul-- "turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour." --Act 16:18b. While this seems like a Good thing, and it was, the people who had been using her to make money were not pleased. Not many of us would want to suffer the following as a result: Paul and Silas ended up being "captured"; dragged into the marketplace; accused of being troublemakers and of teaching illegal and/or heretical things, the end result of which was: a "multitude" or crowd rising up against them; the magistrates tearing off their clothes, commanding Paul and Silas to be beaten; and Paul and Silas WERE beaten with "many stripes"; and then they were thrown into prison. Yahshua of Nazareth also limited what SOME PEOPLE said about Him. If you don't take charge of your own publicity, someone else (often the media) will. It was important for Him to not get crucified or otherwise maimed or killed before His time! And He had already come close on some occasions, including right after His first sermon (about Jews and Gentiles). --corrective. ©2008. |

And the Third Heaven being His Throne: "Heaven [is] My Throne; and Earth [is] My Footstool; what house could you build for Me??" --Is. 66:1a; Acts 7:49a. But the IS in Heaven is My Throne is added. Related, Psalm 11:4a: YHWH [is] in His Holy Temple, YHWH's Throne [is] in Heaven.... --corrective. ©2008. |
