If 1 Corinthians 14:22 was so the unbelievers could understand tongues, why in verse 23 would they call them crazy?

You are right. They HEARD all of the 120 and Apostles speaking each one's own languages, but to the Gentiles it just sounded like gibberish, as if they were drunk. They could have actually been speaking the tongues of angels, but to each one there what they HEARD was their own language. That is...

Davy, I also decided to go back to Acts 2 that you take to be the law on tongues, even though you are misunderstanding that the emphasis from the devout Jew listeners was on their individual hearing. When you say "cloven tongues" are you saying they were devilish? What exactly is your...

@Davy, if we are going to have a meaningful conversation you have to answer my questions too. Here again. Why is the only gift that is any kind of sign is tongues a SIGN TO THE UNBELIEVER. Stop deleting this and answer me. Or just admit you don't know.

Another description of Jesus is found in "The Archko Volume" which contains official court documents from the days of Jesus. This information substantiates that He came from racial lines which had blue eyes and golden hair. In a chapter entitled "Gamaliel's Interview" it states concerning Jesus...

Josephus descriptions. Josephus wrote, "Jesus was born and lived in Palestine. He was born, supposedly, to a virgin and had an earthly father who was a carpenter. He was a teacher who taught that through repentance and belief, all followers would become brothers and sisters. He led the Jews...

You seem to be willfully misunderstanding. The ONLY gift given to us by the Spirit that cannot be understood naturally was tongues. That is why it is the only gift that is called a SIGN. But a sign to unbelievers. Do you know why? I'll come back later and see if you know. I hope so.

Don't you understand? The Day of Pentecost was the bringing of the Spirit!!!! Everything that happened to God's people was SUPERnatural!!!!! Tongues ALWAYS needs a supernatural interpretation. You must not have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit for you are understanding as only a natural...

Probably by any of the Roman Gentiles who couldn't understand and thought them to be drunk. Of course! That is how the gift of interpretation of tongues works! You hear your own language. Verse 8 is the key to understanding Acts 2. 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in...

The correctness of sin unto death and sins not unto death are Scriptural. 1 John 5:16-17 and Numbers 15:22-36. Paul in 2 Cor. 3 shows that the Ten Commandments is the "ministry of death." In Numbers there were no sacrifices for those who broke the law (lawlessness/sins unto death), and we see in...

Are you struggling with a particular mortal sin? I was at the time I finally became born again and freed from that lawless sin. If you want to speak in private you can PM me.

The sin nature was created from disobeying a law of God, thus a mortal sin. The sin nature desires to commit lawless sin, not the lesser sins of immature fruit such as impatience. You can still be impatient and it not be from a sin nature. It is "human nature." Otherwise, Jesus lied that He took...

Yes, Paul says we are not in the "flesh" but in the Spirit, he is talking about lawlessness that covers also sexual sin, but not immature fruit of the Spirit that are automatically cleansed when walking in the Spirit 1 John 1:7. We are free of "mortal" sins, sins unto death. That was the sin...

You are right. Not all in Corinth were saved. Here is Paul's next letter, chapter 7. 9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow produces...

She merely quoted Paul. Carnal is correct, implying still having a sin nature. Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions...

I agree that the word "unknown" was not in the originals but it was certainly known that the type of tongues of men and of angels that was a gift of the Holy Spirit COULD NOT BE UNDERSTOOD BY MAN. Why do you ignore that fact? I've already shown you what happened on the Day of Pentecost as it is...

Here is the Acts 2 account according to the rule in 1 Corinthians 14:2. 5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own...

The natural man is afraid of the supernatural and believe all things supernatural is of the devil. In Acts 2 it is plain as day that both the speaking and the hearing were supernatural, but that is just foolishness to those with a natural mind. Personally, I believe in a post-tribulation...

You didn't answer my question. Again, do you know why tongues are a sign to unbelievers, and the uninformed - like you?

That was regarding one church headed by Todd Bentley who divorced his wife to marry the church secretary. That woman was possessed and produced signs of a kindulini spirit. Not tongues, but shaking her head back in forth violently, the same as what happens in India. Those of us who have the...
