Bible Question (short): Questions on Tongues |
Question (full): JLY: Reference: Post 114310. ..... What is the meaning of "tongues" as it is used in Acts 2:4? What is the meaning of "tongues" as you use it to describe the regular Sunday activity that takes place at the service you attend? Do they differ? If they do, how do they differ and why do they differ? You mention that every Sunday God talks to your congregation through a person's speaking in tongues. There is a passage in Scripture, Hebrews 1:2, which says this: "In these last days (God) has spoken to us in His Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom He made the world." If you will, please exegete this verse and offer us some means of comparing it with your congregation's practice of seeking God's message through a tongue-speaking member of the congregation. You speak of there being an interpretaton of these tongue-speaking episodes. Who is the interpreter, what are his credentials, and exactly how and by what (or whose) authority does he render his interpretations? These are posted as objective questions and as such seek objective, i.e., scripturally based and scripturally sound, answers. --Hank |
