    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    I could be wrong, and I apologize if I am, but I sense there is something you want to tell me. Is that right?

    What am I supposed to do with that? I'd suggest you read James 3 about the tongue.

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    Most people call tongues a gift. That leads them to believe that only some people get the so-called gift of tongues, while the vast majority don't think they have the so-called gift of tongues. I think it is highly critical since the adversary has talked untold numbers of sincere Christians out...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    How tongues should be operated in the assembly: 1 Cor 14:13, Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue pray that he may interpret. If this is followed: 1 Cor 14:5, I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater [is] he that prophesieth than...

    Well, I can't argue with that! Good comeback. :)

    Matthias came onboard much later, well after Jesus appeared to the 11 who were behind closed doors, when Thomas was missing. Matthias was appointed after Jesus ascended. Read Acts 1 for the timeline. It's good to let go of tradition when it conflicts with the actual scriptures.

    Yeah, why bother? It's only God's word. He doesn't know what He's talking about anyway.

    So who were the eleven when Thomas was absent? Mark 16:14, Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. John 20:24, But Thomas, one of the...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    How about some substance? Using scripture, can you show me where I'm using eisegesis? Who were the eleven to whom Jesus appeared, keep in mind that Thomas was not one of them?

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    Matthew doesn't explicitly say Judas hung himself right away. Luke 24:33, And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, John 20:24, But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus...

    So you are telling me that YOU have a better understanding of scripture? OK.

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    I'm so sorry. I didn't realize I ignored you. It was certainly not my intention. If you would be so kind as to refer me to the post I didn't answer, I'll rectify the situation real pronto like!

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    Jesus was a perfect image of Yahweh in every way. It's a hard act to follow for sure, but we keep trying. I know very few who understand that Jesus was tortured for 40 hours. We're you ever involved with the Way Biblical Research & Teaching Ministry or one of it's later offshoots? Those are the...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    So this is your last post, yet another completely lacking any substance? Perfect! Your "God bless" rings very hollow with me. I think we've not even come close to a "polite conversation." I think every post you've written to me mentions something I know or think when you have no idea about what...

    Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift

    Context. The charisma of 1 Cor 7:7, 12:4, 12:9, 12:28, and 12:30. That's my final answer! If it's not the right answer, you tell me what is. :)

    I'm not Pentecostal. Just using the standard Bible teaching. What version are you using that has the word "category" in 1 Cor 12? Other than smug little barbs, what are you doing?
