Bible Note: Tim: Thank you for the information and the points you made. Your points, as well as those of others, must be given serious consideration before a person can say he has taken an honest look at both sides of the question. You write: "Regardless of the position one takes on this passage, it clearly is a difficult passage. Read any commentary on this passage and you will find multiple possible understandings! :-)" I agree -- it clearly is a difficult passage. Upon further reading I did today, I have discovered that one will indeed find multiple possible understandings. Where am I on the issue of the cessation of tongues? The jury is still out. I plan to do further reading and investigation on both sides of the question. I pray that whatever position I take will be based on neither my experience(s) or lack of same, but rather on the Word of God. I want to thank both you and Searcher for giving me much food for thought. Grace and shalom, kalos |
