sorry (not sorry)
but that is the argument of kavik who is not a believer. you were in accord with him and yet you persist in asking questions as though you were genuinely wanting to learn or interested
apparently you do not comprehend that the Bible itself reveals that the understanding is derived by the Holy Spirit and not a test lab
but as you have already pointed out, these things bore you

I AM, because I believe the Bible. GOD CREATED. NOT EVOLUTION.
Science is a Religion of No GOD did not CREATE.
Most Scientist want to think it was a BIG BALL THAT EXPLODED. LOL
Want to see how they squirm, when you ask where did the BIG BALL COME FROM.
Actually, Scientific Theory dictates that the STARTING POINT, has to at or near ZERO.
Biblical Creation, say it has to be where JESUS the CREATOR said the STARTING POINT is where HE wanted it to be.
So yes, I am Anti-Science.
Romans 1:18-22 (NKJV)
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

It is sad that people have to keep showing me post she makes mocking me. It’s all good. Best to just consider the source.
She is angry because I refused back down which someone. I think people who see our posts to others who believe as she does proves she just has a vendetta because what she claims as usual is not true
Best to just ignore or if you have to just let the powers to be know

Mr. Dino, what is the parameter then for testing if language is a language if it cannot be tested from science?
Can you tell me why if the tongues of angels as a language unique and apart from all the other known languages
one would expect "glossolalists" to reproduce significantly fewer phonemes from his or her native language, however this is not the case. In other words why do people use the phonemes and syllables of their native tongue each and every time.
How do we test if it is spiritual?
Is holy laughter spiritual?

Why do we "need" to test if it is a "real language"? I don't see any requirement for that in Scripture.
As I have said before, there simply is not enough information given in Scripture about the "tongues of angels" to make any sort of statement on them.
Sorry, "each and every time" requires that all instances of "speaking in tongues" be recorded. If you mean "each and every time they have been recorded", that is a small subset. Any researcher worth her salt will know that making absolute statements about a population from the characteristics of a small subset is foolhardy at best. The margin of uncertainty is enormous.
By the fruit, as I stated earlier.
That's a completely separate issue which I won't discuss in this thread.

Mr. VCO, the question was not directed towards you however good to know.
Since you are anti-science though, I assume you refuse medical treatment.
Just curious.

Now who would be so FOOLISH to Refuse Medical Treatment ?
He created man with a brain, and expects us to use the Doctors Wisdom to treat the Diseases, Medical Surgery, Blood Transfusions, Etc.
Now you are comparing Apples to Oranges, Wisdom of Doctors is Apples; and so called wisdom of the so called Science of Origins, is a WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME, is the Oranges.
When ever I hear an ambulance I pray for the Patient and the Wisdom of Doctors too.
YES, I am a diabetic, with High Blood Pressure, with High Cholesterol, with a Heart Conditions that cause Strokes. I have had 7 strokes already, two major strokes, and 5 mini strokes. Yes I believe in medications, but sometimes I think I am on too many, but I am not the Doctor.
Now my guess, the LORD is going to call me home with a MAJOR STROKE.
