If you look also at scriptures that speak of Jesus doing miracles, you see that He superimposed time, space, order, and rank.
Embolden. To be in the Spirit and using a voice gift...you speak out of heaven, and in the authority of it.
There’s nothing like the gift of prophecy and tongues in this realm we live in.
Or moving in the Spirit to do His work.
I’ve tasted these things and thirst for more. More of You Lord!

1. You did not shw me anything I did not already know.
2. I always look up words. (My logos bible has multiple greek-hebrew lexicons, Dictionaries and helps of all kinds, Strongs is but one source.) Many words have different meanings, so they must be taken in context. Stongs is one which gives multiple defenitions, as so many others do. So context is everything,
In our case, But building up a person or the body is always the same thing, no matter HOW it is done. It is encouraging them, strengthening, Helping them grow in Christ. Paul speaks of many things and many ways in which God helps a child or a body grow. We must not limit God
While I may agree, in the early church prophesy and tongues were used mightily (since the word was not yet complete) I do not agree wiht that today. God works in so many ways, you seem to be bent on trying to limit him
And I have tasted God in ways you can only imagine, the fact you even hint that I have not. That just hurts your case and shows you need to open up your mind some more. Because God works in so many ways, I fear you have not even imagined the way God works.
