NASB | 1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:1 ¶ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God's love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. |
Subject: Why do I want to speak in tongues? |
Bible Note: flyman: If I follow the "logic" then everyone who has not spoke in tongues is unsaved, correct? If there is a contradiction in scripture, then how do we know who to believe if some other writters don't seem to agree? If there are contradictions, then there must be things we can't trust? If all the above is true, how can we believe any of the Bible? If there are contradictions then that means there are errors in the Bible? This all seems logical does it not? May I say that you have to come to the point that your logic is nor correct or the Bible does NOT have contradictions. flyman, you need to come to the conclusion that there must be more to understanding Scripture than you are aware of. The key point being you can either trust the Bible completly, or you can continue to find contradictions and errors and thus call into question the birth, death and resurrection of Christ. Because you mentioned tongues, this is mentioned in Acts, and Pauls writtings as well. Following the logic you stated, then because Jesus never even discussed this subject so then tongues is subject to be a contradiction. The point I am trying to bring to your attention is what you have said may seem logical to you, but you are lacking a solid foundation upon which to make logical statements. Here are a few places in Scripture that shoulf help you have a better understanding if Scripture. 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20. May I suggest you take the New Testament book by book and read them. You will soon see that you have taken logic in Scripture out of context. justme |
