Bible Question (short): I ask you a loving challenging question |
Question (full): But I would like you reflect more deeply in the text I mentioned in 1 Cor. 12. I agree with the fact that the tongue is a difficult part of the body to control, as said James, but it is totally out of context to use that argument to explain the speaking in tongues. Notice what Paul said in 1 Cor. 12 and 14 and reevaluate your position. I ask you a loving challenging question in conclusion. If God is powerful to give whatever gift He wants to His children, why so much emphasize on this gift when we talk about the power of the Spirit? Was it not a problem in Corinth and if so, why? |
