I Corinthians 14:4 provides the answer to all arguments on this thread


"Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church."


You can actually speak in tongues to lift your spirit. It doesn't have to be interpreted.

Why would you want to interpret someone's communication with her creator? She's not prophesying so let her be. The words are not meant for you sir.

thorpido:
Explain it,damn it!
You said people of 'neighbouring countries spoke in their languages to Israel.'I want you to point that out from the scriptures.
Stop being evasive.

Lying is a Christian virtue I guess.

Kindly quote me

Tongue is not a heavenly or spiritual language!
The first tongue spoken in the bible was a language spoken by some people within neighboring countries to Israel as at that time!

Pick another defence!

Page 2 and nobody is yet to come up with an interpretation of those words in Sinach's way maker. Maybe seun is right after all, speaking in tongue is just a complete gibberish and nothing else.

1. You seem to think anyone owes Seun the obligation of explanation

2. You lack the knowledge of the purpose of speaking in tongues to the speaker and to the hearer.

3. God is not in a contest with Seun or his league of atheists

4. God would not give what is meant for his children to Pigs...they would only ruin and ridicule it.

5. Do not quote me!

Since you're too lazy to bring out the scriptures, help you.

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Acts 2:4-8
If your understanding of the bolded is what you have written below,then I must let you know you're wrong.Maybe it's the english.

People like you are the reason why Christianity is losing steam worldwide. You attacked my post, called me someone that lacks knowledge and still ended by telling me not to reply you. For real, is this how Jesus Christ will respond to issues like this? Oga, if you don't know the interpretation, just move on and stop spewing gibberish.

freshcvvs:



You're more confused than I thought!

So what's the issue IN what I typed and IN what's in the quoted scripture?

Is it the (s) I didn't add to the tongue or the language you have issues with or what exactly?

GrizzlyBear:
If there is anything that is starkly spurious in christianity, it's the whole notion of speaking in tongues.
What christians call speaking is tongues, is just someone saying random meaningless words and claiming it's of heavenly origin. Anyone can do this.

Just study any christian who frequently speaks in tongues and you'll notice that every time he speaks in tongues, he uses the same string of phrases. This is because his brain has already become accustomed to those words, and invariably made it his default "heavenly tongue."

I know relations who have been using the same string of meaningless phrases for years now. They are so used to it, that they don't even know that it's the same bland group of words that they use.

Christians need to know that whatever transcendent feeling they experience, that causes them to speak in tongues, such feeling is not exclusive to christians. People from other religions also experience this feeling when they engage in their own called spiritual activities, which can range from worship, to prayer or even meditation which is isomorphic to quiet prayer, and such feeling can be so profound and overwhelming, that it makes them susceptible to suggestion and weird behavior. And when they get accustomed to such weird behavior, it becomes a part of them.

The fact that there are branches of christianity that don't even believe in the idea of speaking in tongues, and still claim that they speak to and hear from God, and God assures them on a daily basis that what they are doing( not believing in his holy spirit and manifesting it's presence by speaking in tongues) is right, then it raises the question of the validity of either of the beliefs, because both camps claim that God speaks to them. So it's either God is deliberately causing confusion, is confused himself, or both camps are just being delusional and their God doesn't exist.

Poor you.It's your understanding(or rather lack of it)of the written word.

The act of speaking in tongues -- technically known as glossolalia -- is nothing but a fake show of communicating with God. It is one of the many false doctrines in Christianity.

My mind is mentally set to reason with facts, than just belief.

So, whenever I read or hear anything that doesn't make sense, or smell fishy, I become suspicious and ask questions.
