Bible Note: Hi again, Mike, If I may just add this to my last post for your consideration. Paul says, that someone must interpret the tongues. Now what does that mean? How do you interpret a tongue or language? Let me offer you this. In order to interpret a language, you must be able to speak and understand that language. Right? So what Paul is saying is, that someone in the room must be able to understand that language. So that language, must be known to that person, though it may not be known to the others in the room. What he is saying is, not that the language is totally unknown, like gibberish, but that it is unknown to all but the one it is intended for, in order to give the Gospel to someone who speaks a foreign language, just like on the day of Pentecost. That is, as no one will argue, the legitimate gift of tongues. I hope that helps John |
