Speaking in tongues

Hi thanks for the reply .

Not sure what you mean by Replacement Theology? Are you saying because I offered that God mocked or derided the unbelieving Jew who mocked Him by refusing to hear his prophecy...….. replaces something?


The word stammering is used three times. Isaiah 32 paints of a beautiful picture of the gospel, converting the mocking or deriding tongue (stammerers) as those who have not faith. They will hear the gospel (the ears of them that hear shall listen.) and believe in Christ our hiding place from the storms of the tempest.


Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall listen. The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. Isaiah 32:1-4

It clearly does not say tongues which is God speaking in other languages other that Hebrew as mocking the apostate Jews who refuse to hear prophecy alone, is not prophecy . tongues is prophecy.

For one the word unknown was added. Which is not the same as unknowable.

The langue of God's interpretation to all of the nations might be unknown to the speaker but not to those who received the prophecy of God .They heard God loud and clear and is why they rejoiced without looking for someone to interrupt a noise.

God does not make a noise and say go look for someone's idea of what they think it means . That would be promoting a private interpretation and not a personal relationship with one who say to seek His approval and not the witness of men as a private interpretation.

God is the speaker in all cases . That treasure we have in us is not of us. Its a gift of His Spirit not ours .

1 Corinthians 14 King James Version (KJV) Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

Not caring whether one violates the commandment as a warning not to add or subtract from the perfect as in complete seems to agree with the Catholic folly.

You said..........."I don't agree that the completed canon is the "perfect" to which Paul refers in 13:8. Any argument with such a view as its basis I will therefore reject".

Why go above that which is written and seek to add to the book of prophecy, the Bible? Is there a law missing by which we could know him more adequately?

Thats Why we have so much different Doctrines, because People think they can easily make Doctrines After that what they wish.
For example: Joel 2 is often used from pentecostal and charismatics for their doctrine. But if you read the context from Joel 2, then you find out this will happend when Israel is living in a peace situation and is Adressed only to the Jewish Nation. And even Peter mentioned this in Acts 2 it is not a whole fulfilling, because only a Minority of Jewish People expierience this. It simply not fit in the context of Joel 2.
But People have no problem to Take the vers out of the context to Support their view.

To Read the Text is not Eisegese, to put your meaning in is Eisegese.

For example Acts 19. It may be right that in this moment there where no Jewish officials eyewitness.

Question: "What is replacement theology?"

Answer: Replacement theology (also known as supersessionism) essentially teaches that the church has replaced Israel in God’s plan. Adherents of replacement theology believe the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people, and God does not have specific future plans for the nation of Israel. Among the different views of the relationship between the church and Israel are the church has replaced Israel (replacement theology), the church is an expansion of Israel (covenant theology), or the church is completely different and distinct from Israel (dispensationalism/premillennialism).

Replacement theology teaches that the church is the replacement for Israel and that the many promises made to Israel in the Bible are fulfilled in the Christian church, not in Israel. The prophecies in Scripture concerning the blessing and restoration of Israel to the Promised Land are spiritualized or allegorized into promises of God’s blessing for the church. Major problems exist with this view, such as the continuing existence of the Jewish people throughout the centuries and especially with the revival of the modern state of Israel. If Israel has been condemned by God and there is no future for the Jewish nation, how do we explain the supernatural survival of the Jewish people over the past 2,000 years despite the many attempts to destroy them? How do we explain why and how Israel reappeared as a nation in the 20th century after not existing for 1,900 years?

The view that Israel and the church are different is clearly taught in the New Testament. Biblically speaking, the church is distinct from Israel, and the terms church and Israel are never to be confused or used interchangeably. We are taught from Scripture that the church is an entirely new creation that came into being on the day of Pentecost and will continue until it is taken to heaven at the rapture (Ephesians 1:9–11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–17). The church has no relationship to the curses and blessings for Israel. The covenants, promises, and warnings of the Mosaic Covenant were valid only for Israel. Israel has been temporarily set aside in God’s program during these past 2,000 years of dispersion (see Romans 11).

Contrary to replacement theology, dispensationalism teaches that, after the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13–18), God will restore Israel as the primary focus of His plan. The first event at this time is the tribulation (Revelation chapters 6–19). The world will be judged for rejecting Christ, while Israel is prepared through the trials of the great tribulation for the second coming of the Messiah. Then, when Christ does return to the earth at the end of the tribulation, Israel will be ready to receive Him. The remnant of Israel who survive the tribulation will be saved, and the Lord will establish His kingdom on this earth with Jerusalem as its capital. With Christ reigning as King, Israel will be the leading nation, and representatives from all nations will come to Jerusalem to honor and worship the King—Jesus Christ. The church will return with Christ and will reign with Him for a literal thousand years (Revelation 20:1–5).

Both the Old Testament and the New Testament support a premillennial/dispensational understanding of God’s plan for Israel. The strongest support for premillennialism is found in the clear teaching of Revelation 20:1–7, where it says six times that Christ’s kingdom will last 1,000 years. After the tribulation the Lord will return and establish His kingdom with the nation of Israel, Christ will reign over the whole earth, and Israel will be the leader of the nations. The church will reign with Him for a literal thousand years. The church has not replaced Israel in God's plan. While God may be focusing His attention primarily on the church in this dispensation of grace, God has not forgotten Israel and will one day restore Israel to His intended role as the nation He has chosen (Romans 11).

Your logic is flawed and your comprehension is darkened on this matter. Even the verses you quote further down say clearly that the one who speaks in a tongue speaks to God, while the one who prophesies speaks to men. They cannot be the same thing.

Peter is the one who applies Joel 2 to the situation in Acts 2. Pentecostals and Charismatics follow his lead. In other passages, we see that the Spirit is given as a downpayment or earnest of something we receive later. In Romans 8, we receive the firstfruit of the Spirit and we await the redemption of our bodies. The fullest extent of the outpouring of the Spirit may occur in a more idealic time, but the beginnings of it were at or before the events described in Acts 2.

The scripture does not read, one who speaks in a tongue speaks to God, while the one who prophesies speaks to men......as if it was two events

I would think the phrase "unto God " would be in agreement with .

Can two walk together, except they be agreed?Amos 3:3

In the reference where God warns us of the antichrist he informs us of those who say we do need a man to teach us a as private interpretation.

He would not I believe God lovingly commands us to study rightfully dividing His word in order to seek His approval and then say if you hear a noise look for a private interpretation of men as seeking after their approval .

His doctrines fall from heaven and are not inspired from earth or understood by seeking the understanding of men . For no man seeks after God. He speaks to us in mysteries or parables.

God put his words on Peter lips and God (not man) interpreted into many tongues just what was on His mind .As a result those who were given ears to hear believed God as a clear understanding what God said... and not man .He is the one and only interpreter . You could say he forbids us from saying we need a man seen to teach us.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth (God's word) speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort 1 Coerintians 14:2

2 Peter 1 does not speak of the antichrist. That isn't until chapter 2, but it doesn't change the interpretation of 1:20. The verse, as you quoted, talks about the origin of prophecy. It does not forbid private interpretation. That much is abundantly clear!



He doesn't... anywhere. You're twisting Scripture and committing a straw man fallacy.

By the way, "study" in the KJV passage you reference does not mean "study" in 21st century English. Rather, it means, "be diligent" as a review of modern translations will attest.

you are Allegorizing

My Mom told me last night that when she took a Bible study class once, a guy in the class suddenly started speaking in tongues, and people were shocked. He was shocked too. It scared my Mom, and she said it always disturbed her. She said it was very, very real.

Although God is no longer brining any new prophecy as a revelations of God, the air way is still open to false prophecy .

I would say very real. So real that God sends a strong delusion so that the lie can be believed because they did not love the truth of God.

I would be careful as to how we can hear God. Not saying a person is not saved.

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
