Subject: what is the importance of tongues? |
Bible Note: 1-2steve On your point 2 I would be a little less dogmatic here. In New Guinea their language consists mostly of tongue clicks. In another language the same words repeated mean entirely different things depending on how often they are repeated. In effect you could speak a whole paragraph in that language just by repeating one sentence over and over. I don't think you nor any other is qualified or knowledgeable of all languages in existence to say a particular language is authentic or not. I have heard of people talking to others in that ones native language yet the person talking had no prior knowledge of the language or that it was the other persons native language. These are documented so we either have to agree that there are some genunine cases of tongues today or call these people liars. EdB |
