    An Unknown Tongue

    Of course they do and sometimes they serve Him as the right hand of God rather the left hand. It was as a Catholic in the Catholic Church that I first met God. What could be wrong with that?

    An Unknown Tongue

    Of course strictly according to the scriptures alone you may be right, but if God is really speaking to the particular heart of one person or of several persons to open his or their mouth to speak, who should remain silent? "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under...

    An Unknown Tongue

    The tongues and the unknown tongues are the parables of Jesus to those who heard the words formed and spoken by means of his physical vocal cords. All of those in the crown may have heard those words, but not all of them had the necessary "ears to hear" so that they could understand the message...

    An Unknown Tongue

    The interpretations cease when there is no further need because every potential hearer already understands what God wants him to understand. Who but God already knows now what each potential hearer understands?

    An Unknown Tongue

    Perhaps many do as you say, "try to help scripture", but should it be "we all" on the one side with no one even partly on God's side? Men do too often want to paint a black and white picture, but most real life [material or temporal or physical life] is NOT black and white but somewhere in...

    An Unknown Tongue

    My, my friend you showed it to yourself and to any who already agreed with you or were ready to agree with you, but the only One who really counts is God. You are saying in effect that you know more than all of us who have experience this gift of God which you in your fleshly mind have found...

    Does "LAW" matter?

    @Willie T Does the law matter? Does anything matter? If it does how are we remember it or to memorize it much less to obey it when there are so many [laws] written down? Peter says in Acts that the Jews were never able to obey them all so why should the Gentiles... "Now therefore why tempt ye...

    Heaven

    @aspen @JesusIsFaithful Hmmm? Upper atmosphere, Outer Space and God's throne, but is there nothing more? I wonder if these would or could correspond to the three levels of the Tabernacle in the wilderness. Most believers, like most the natural Israelites could not even stand long with at...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    I like that..."we are all speaking in tongues" and included would be those who wrote the words down under inspiration from God [through or by the Holy Spirit] which are now called the Bible. It is one long message or group of messages in "unknown" tongues from God to man, but where is the...

    The Lost/sheep of Israel ?

    You should not be putting words into my mouth. If you believe that verse was his reason for coming... "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel" Matt 15:24 ... then you should also explain what this verse is saying? "The thief cometh not, but for...

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    Follow one who is not blind: "And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?" Luke 6:39 Who is not blind among them? Any one of them whose eyes have been anointed with eyesalve: "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire...

    Prayers for tax money

    Praying for this situation.

    An Unknown Tongue

    If it were only those who make no beans about being unbelievers it might be of concern, but the real Babylon [confusion] today is composed of people who are supposed to be [according to what they say] God's people. There really is a lot of gibberish being spoken among those bearing the label of...

    The Lost/sheep of Israel ?

    For the most part, they are probably still lost. God knows where they are and if He wants us to be involved in their enlightening, He will direct us.

    The lost/Tribes of Israel?

    Just so God knows where they are, why do any of us need to know?

    An Unknown Tongue

    And what is childish in the eyes of God? Perhaps the very ways of men, adult men in the flesh, who use their own brains alone to decide what pleases God and what does not... or worse they state that God does not exist so they can do whatever they want. But, there are many who bear the label of...

    Who sins?

    @APAK So then the question from the other direction: Who does not sin? "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." Heb 4:15 But then Jesus was always perfect toward God. He never...

    An Unknown Tongue

    @Frank Lee Yes Frank, a good post. I also speak in tongues in prayer every day. It began with me 42 years ago and continues... People should be very slow to criticize what they have not experienced. Give God the glory!

    What are we really dealing with here?

    You speak a rather different language on these things than I do. You speak of a balance between "graces" and "knowledge" whereas I would speak of a balance between the raw unquickened Word and the Holy Spirit. If either one falls behind the other too much the result could be fatal , but that is...

    An Unknown Tongue

    Also at times there are prayers that need to be prayed that we could not pray because of our personal feelings and/or biases. As for example when my father was dying in English I was praying for God to spare him, but I suspect that my prayer in an unknown tongue was different because God knew it...
