Is the "Tongues" we see practiced today in churches all over the land actually Biblical and valid........OR is it an emotional exercise in religious fervor????
Then 2 page you say this "You can not understand what is said because nothing said is understandable! It is simply gibberish as it is not a language. "
A verse that comes to mine "“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces." So if we will not listen to God.. we never listen to another believer. As long as I KNOW I am right your wrong haha what do you expect GOD's going to say and do? Yeah nothing. When were stuck in earthly things how in the world are we going to hear spiritual things? Some are stuck on tongues yet you can't even cast out demons. Did not the Father through Christ say we will cast out demons and speak with new tongues?
Some believe the gifts are gone because that which is perfect has come. Yet 1Cor Chapter 12,13 its clear to me I right now only know and see in part. The way I see 1 Cor 13:9 .. I don't read any past tense. Is it not written "but WHEN the perfect comes". Then wow we live in a fallen world... is ANYONE reading this thread alone? Is not already clear we see in part not fully?
I see this was about talking about tongues which is so hard for me. Well in cases like this where some say its dead gone the gifts. I watched a known preacher say "The way it happened in the word of God does not happen today". So I raise me hand.. here I am. Yeah they bible study asked if I wanted the holy spirit.. no clue what they were saying but.. its about GOD I want it. So I sit in this chair and he reads only what the bible says then asked me again and then prayed a short prayer and then stopped. Not one person talked about tongues.. I get up go to sit down and bam tongues just came out.
So you see I would have to lie and say the gifts are not for today. Seems GOD was right if you ask Him for the holy Spirit and blindly believe FAITH He really does every time keep His word. Sorry haha.. HE is so real. So yes I receive power after the holy Spirit came on me.. WOW I say it all the time it was like night and day..... I can't imagine one day one second without Him.
So you say its gone dead.. ok and? You can be very quiet for hours days weeks and .. do you hear it? Yeah God said nothing. We keep telling what is what is not of Him. The enemy can not create so what the enemy does is copy and twist. So something here is very real and he can never tell the truth. Sorry.. I just read His word since I was like 13 or so and blindly believe. No internet back then praise GOD. The fruits of the spirit should help you here. God never uses fear worry doubt so forth so on. Working at this job where every day I set foot in I felt so sick. No worry no fear so forth so on. It was such a beautiful place. What I didn't know is they made porn movies. I then quit.
I walk by faith not doubt. God is ALWAYS faith. A ask Him? Thats it right there huh. Do we truly believe GOD is real? Read that word as a child as Chang said like you were on an Island and you see this book you never seen before...now read it. Oh Chang should have watched him through the years to then find the holy spirit! Hear him talk about being in some other country and watching God HEAL EVERY ONE of them. It blew his mind. Why stop at John 3:16 with your faith? Keep going blindly believing what He said and no other man and watch what a GOD is and can do.. to know He is also your Father that came just for you as if you were the only one.
Jesus as lord in our lives is all that matters yes? We are one..
