problem related to praying in tongues

wrong....
In the Judea area in the 1st century, Aramaic was the common language, which is what Jesus and the apostles undoubtedly spoke.

1Cor. 14:2 is perhaps the quintessential verse used by many to “evidence” modern tongues-speech in the Bible.

If one were to paraphrase the KJB version of this verse into a more modern English, you'd need to get rid of the added “unknown”, use a more accurate translation from the Greek, and a more modern rendering of the archaic English word “tongue” –

Once done, you might end up with something more like this –

“He that speaks in a language isn’t speaking to others, but only to God; no one hears [him] with understanding; nevertheless, though he’s praying in the Spirit, he’s speaking mysteries.”

The whole passage is talking about real, rational language.

Let me use an analogy - If I attend a worship service in “East Haystack”, some remote town in the US out in the middle of nowhere, two things are going to be evident: one; there’s only going to be so many people at that service (i.e. there will be a finite given amount of people there) and two; the chances that anyone speaks anything but English is pretty slim to nil.

If I start praying aloud in say Lithuanian, there’s no one at that service that’s going to understand a single word I’m saying. Even though I’m speaking a real language, no one there will understand my “tongue”. That does not mean or imply that no one else understands Lithuanian; just no one at that particular service.

In this sense, therefore, I am speaking only to God, since he understands all languages. To everyone at the service, even though I’m praying in the Spirit (as defined further below), to the people listening to me, I’m still speaking “mysteries” – i.e. even though I’m praying as I ought, no one understands me; no one has a clue what I’m saying as no one speaks my language.

When one looks at the original Greek, the verb which is usually translated as “understandeth/understands” is actually the verb “to hear” in the sense of understanding what you’re hearing someone say. The verb is *not* “to understand”. That part of the verse is more properly “no one hears [him] with understanding”, i.e. no one listening to him understands what he’s saying.

There is nothing in this passage that suggests modern tongues-speech nor is there anything that even remotely suggests that the speaker does not understand what he himself is saying. The Greek bears this out; it is the listeners who do not understand, not the speaker – no matter how hard modern tongues-speakers want the speaker to also not understand…….unless the author of the text is a bad grammarian, it just isn’t there.

“Praying in the Spirit” does not refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will.

You are wrong.

1 Cor 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

The stupid is real if you think you will tongue twist those who know the difference.

Modern tongues-speech is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with.

It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure.

Record yourself speaking in tongues for about a minute or so and then listen to it - really listen - play it back at a slower speed and transcribe it. You'll see that it fits nicely into the patterns described above.

The sort of 'nail in the coffin', so-to-speak, is that any and all phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will also govern their tongues-speech.
Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically.

There just isn't anything that remotely suggests some type of divine speech here; it's entirely self created.

I've already debunked you before with my mother n law an actual linguist since late 60s taught in universities from Vienna to Austria and studied the actual pigme linguistics in Australia.

I don't think you've debunked anything. Modern tongues-speech is what it is; non-cognitive non-language utterance.

Dude, you are a joke!

according to someone who does not have the infilling of the Holy Spirit. you might as well be, Satan!

You know talking about the sweet holy Spirit and tongues praise God but this kind of talk does not come from Him. Kavik just disagrees does not believe its still for today by what I read.

We know Paul spoke in tongues more then you all. Yet what he really said was "I thank God I speak in tongues more then you all". That in and of its self is a bold statement. Those that do not believe something we can say for fact they have never prayed about and asked God/Christ.

Tongues I notice some verses are skipped over "One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church [promotes growth in spiritual wisdom, devotion, holiness, and joy]."

Its the next verse I like how the AMP says it but any other version says the same "Now I wish that all of you spoke in unknown tongues, but even more [I wish] that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater [and more useful] than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he translates or explains [what he says], so that the church may be edified [instructed, improved, "

So some read Paul said not me God said. I wish all of you spoke in tongues. You already know in your own life He never pushes shoves, forces, makes you do think anything but we will never be able to say "I didn't know". He will look at us and say "did I not say I wish you all spoke in tongues". or "did I not say how much more will your heavenly Father give the holy spirit to them that ask". See you know He does this in your life every day you have to make a choice some did they run with doubt. Its not faith saying gifts are gone for that to be true you have to look feel hear. You have to move by the flesh with God its never like that its faith. There is no verse saying all the gifts have stopped. Its not the perfect has come.. nope we know what it says "when". What does when mean? Same with Paul talking about caught up it was not them or they it was "we which remain".

Again just pick up that bible as if you never read about it heard about.. now read it...read Luke 11 13 you have no other thoughts.. no doubt.. just Christ saying only what the Father said.. God said if I ask for the holy Spirit He will give it? No ifs no buts.. you must be a believer..

Kavik just disagrees does not believe its still for today by what I read.

To give him breath to continue his lie is being a Fool.

Giving him life to post is allowing ignorance to breed.

1 Corinthians 14:2

New International Version

2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.

A lot of it is babble and emotionally driven. Paul makes it clear that unless speaking in tongues edifies and helps others, it's best that those who have this gift keep it between themselves and God.

I have never experienced this personally in all my years of being a Christian. But I'm way too rational, also.

Tongue-talkers are operating on a whole other level than rational thinking people. They'll say they operate in the "spirit," but this is just a con game they play with themselves. No amount of reasoning can get through to them.

I hate to state the obvious, but If you're striving to live your life in a Christ-like manner, close-minded comments such as these certainly aren't it.

Perhaps you'd be so kind as to post a small sample (a minute would do it) of your tongues-speech here for analysis.

Praying like in Pentecostal / Charismatic Churches violates the teaching of Jesus above.
