Notice how Dave now seeks to distract attention away from the decisive biblical refutation that speaking in tongues is not for today! Dave L: "The 120 were a different group at a different time and place if you read closely." Wrong! The number of seekers "in constant prayer" in the Upper...

Dave: So you reject Acts 2 as God's Word because you don't believe its witness to the 120 speaking languages understood by the witnesses. Wow!

Notice how every time I refute Dave with God's Word, he babbles on in human wisdom, always refusing to specifically address the Word I quote him. He rejects all challenges to get into the Word and discuss it because he has nothing to offer in his defense.

In other words, the answer to my question is No. How sad and dishonest!

REPLY TO THE OBJECION THAT MODERN SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS NEVER A MODERN LANGUAGE Modern speaking in tongues can at times express modern languages. (1) In his awe-inspiring book "Jesus in Beijing," NYT reporter David Aikman reports a message in tongues in Hebrew in a Pentecostal church in...

Are you the Pope? How can you be so arrogant that you dismiss Pearl's tongues experience as unscriptural without even offering biblical grounds? And Peal, note carefully that, as usual, Dave ducks my 5-point biblical refutation of his bogus anti-tongues rationale But I'm not finished with him...

Enoch: "Those who speak in tongues will insist that they are genuine. But we can see that the gift of modern tongues has been a divisive issue, whereas the Holy Spirit in truth wishes to unite believers." "Do you think I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division...

You have forever been trying in vain to pull an anti-Pentecostal rabbit out of your HAT. So I guess I'll just have to repeat my refutations, so that readers at least can see the anti-intellectual game you're playing. But first I'll just have to rub your nose in the texts you keep ducking with...

Dave L: "You can dodge the truth but you cannot refute it without scripture." I have repeatedly refuted you with Scripture and you have had nothing to say about the texts I d\iscuss because you have no answer to the scholarly consensus, not just the Pentecostal consensus. Dave L: "You reflect...

Have you even bothered to read my testimony in my tongues thread? If you are honest enough to learn about experiences you haven't had and judgmentally condemn, you would realize that my outpouring of tongues saved me from agnosticism and set my heart on fire to witness to power of the Gospel...

"Crew?" Now it is you who are speaking gibberish.

Pearl, Thanks for sharing your testimony. The tongues haters here rigidly hide behind the stereotype that modern glossolalia is usually imparted through the laying on of hands. Your experience (and mine) is more typical and wonderfully illustrates Paul's case for private praise and songs in...

And I and all the neutral academic Bible commentaries on Acts and 1 Corinthians have decisively refute your unsubstantiated claims--and you have not answer other than babbling on repetitively with no rational defense.

Quiethinker: "This application of tongues is not for the public domain unless there is an interpreter but as i said in the previous post, check the account in Acts 2. I think it's self explanatory. You delight in pontificating your anti-tongues screed from ignorance. So here is a simple home...

Dave L: "You need to provide scripture for your claims." I just did again my last post which you of course duck, as usual. Dave: "Show where the gifts came in any other way than through the two outpourings or through an apostle's hands. You are adding to scripture unless you provide this." No...

VISCERAL SPIRITUALITY "When splagchna This thread will consider the often suppressed use of the Greek word "splagchna" (bowels) and its equivalent verb as a metaphor for authentic Christian compassion. Polite circumlocutions are often used in translations to cover up the raw intensity of the...

Dave L: "Nowhere in Acts does it say all spoke with tongues. It happened with the Apostles and Cornelius' entourage during the two outpourings. I have refuted your claims; so you feel the need to lie and put false words in my mouth. Nowhere have I said that "all spoke with tongues." Dave...

I see everyone has frozen like Bambi in the headlights at my challenge to reconstruct a contradiction-free sequence of events after the discovery of the empty tomb. From this deafening silence it is obvious that NDEs and ADCs can play a useful role in lending credibility to resurrection claims...

See my just completed post in my tongues thread for a fuller refutation of Dave's anti-tongues stance.
