21 | Tongues in different settings? | 1 Cor 14:22 | NYP | 151147 | ||
Your words are wise, so I trust you will understand the following. Whatever you do, preserver. You may, or may not soon find the answer you seek. In Gods Word, what today appears contradictory to those who "trust in His word," will tomorrow, come to light. There is so much more than just the words we read in scripture. I have trusted in Proverbs 3:5-6 many times. Some answers were over 30 years in coming. Many came shortly, when I wasn’t even looking for them. |

Brother Hank I do not believe that scripture gives any foundation on which one could base a belief that there is any difference other than the singular and plural concerning what you speak. If you feel there is, please share it. |

Dearest Brother Doc As to those “perplexed, asking one another "Whatever could this mean," I made no allusion to them being the mockers. Is it not apparent that the Spirit was doing the translating, (or, at the very least, responsible,) in that each individual heard the Apostles “Galileans,” speaking [in their own language,] “as the Spirit gave them utterance?” Immediately prior to the tongues of fire setting on each of them in the later verses of chapter 1, Matthias had just been numbered among the eleven "apostles." Considering the context of the passage, I think my assertions are both reasonable deductions. Do you not agree? Not to get off the subject, but this path of discussion puts me in mind of a statement I heard a preacher make today, concerning Romans 4:4. It seems that he interprets the verse as meaning that (the sinner who attempts justification by works, makes himself more and more guilty of sin by doing more works.) I do not see this passage as making such a statement. I can see how one might take it as stated above, if they are guilty of the “hunt and peck method” of reading scripture, but the meaning appears self explanatory when this particular verse is taken in context with those surrounding it. Forgive my ignorance, but I am just now learning that, though we read the same words, there are many who see them differently than I. This mystifies me. I have always felt that I read what I read and interpreted what I read as meaning what it said. The more I write on these boards, the more I realize “though I feel I have a very good grasp on it,” just how deficient the English language is. |

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:28 The only problem is with man kind and the radical beliefs of some. Hopefully the Christian will be the stronger of the two, and bring the JW to the Lord. My Cousin had this same question. Her husband is now a Christian. |

In re-reading my post, I think I understand your question, Doc. I am sure we all know what Paul says concerning tongues, and the interpretation thereof. I would think that in the case of Acts chapter 2, the Holy Spirit itself was the supernatural interpretor, at least for those who sincerely desired the truth. As to those who did not fit into this category, I believe that they were undoubtedly the mockers. |

Undoubtedly, there were those who were skeptical, both amoungst the believers and non believers, but the Apostles, in whom the Holy Spirit had manifest Himself in v4, no doubt preached with the power afore promised. The multitudes were confused, not because they heard them speaking in indiscernible tongues, but because each heard these Galileans speaking in their own tongue, (language). I would think that the mockers were the only ones who may have heard them speaking in indiscernible tongues. Keep in mind; everyone in this portion of scripture, is not speaking in "tongues;" Only the Apostles. Doc. You have been in this forum for a l o n g time. Do you put me to the test with this question? |

“Is 'tongue' as it is used in these verses different in meaning from 'tongues' in Acts 2:4: "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance."? –Hank” I am not sure that I fully understand your question Hank. I do believe it is one and the same. 1 Co 14:4 refers to an individual, and thus uses the singular, in reference to the gift of tongue"s." In the very next verse, it is used in the plural form. Act 2:3 states; “ And there appeared unto them cloven “tongues” [plural] like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. [The plural now becomes singular.] I also believe that scripture teaches that though something, ie, tongues, is right; It is not right, when it becomes a stumbling block to another. |

29 | Reincarnation, scripturally founded? | Heb 9:27 | NYP | 150874 | ||
Every time I read the Bible, I get a little more out of it. Yet I am occasionally amazed when, in reading a passage I could nearly quote, I discover a new and deeper truth. I am constantly searching for some deeper truth and greater understanding of the Word. Where scripture is concerned; I feel like a starving beggar sitting in the front of a table filled with every delicious and delectiable morsel of nourishment, known to man, and then more. It is my greatest desire to be fatter spiritually than I am "physically." That is one belt size I am glad to see increasing. |

Well Hank, there is no doubt that Simon Peter cleared that particular matter up. This is my point. Scripture often points out the fact that many, in Christs day seemded to believe in reincarnation. It appears, though one might consider it a pagan belief, the Jews were affected by it. Other than in the verse I quoted originally, scripture never dirrectly address' this matter. Or have I overlooked it? |

As Angel pointed out, Elijah need not be reincarnated, for he never died in the first place. I had not thought of this fact when I used that example. | ||||||

It appears somehow that my question got posted twice. I think that this modern technology deliberately trys to confuse us old timers. I have news, it can't confuse me much more than I am already. I have learned to live with confusion, and can hardly wait tor the lack of confusion to come. |

Well, not nessisarily OT, but actually I was thinking of when they asked John the Baptist if he were Elija. This implies to me that they may have believed in some form of reincarnation. There are other examples such as this, which I cannot currently bring to memory. How else could they have thought him Elija, but through reincarnation? | ||||||

37 | Why michal had no children | 2 Sam 6:23 | NYP | 150570 | ||
And David was dancing before the LORD with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. 2 Samuel 6:14. An Ephod was representative of priestly divination. Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart. 6:16 No doubt, Michal condemned David in her heart for what she considered the undignified actions of a King. Under the circumstances, and considering Davids having "disrobed in sight of the slave girls," v:20, one might consider Michal within her rights as his wife, yet one should keep in mind that even a King must humble himself before the Lord who exalts. 1 Sa 2:7-8 No doubt, Michal's condemnation to the disgrace of childlessness, was a dirrect result of her condemnation of the one to whom she had vowed allegiance, both as King and husband. |

40 | Bible versions which one is best | Bible general Archive 2 | NYP | 150469 | ||
Personally. I do not believe there is a perfect version, yet there is little doubt that there are those which are farther from perfect than others. Even those farther from perfect translations have their use. I do believe that God has preserved the essence of His word through the ages, and that the "less than adequate" translations will go by the way. I think it says something to this affect in scripture too, but I can't find it at the moment. |
