exactly as stated in the bible will cease has ceased = no longer relevant as gospel is now spoken in many if not most languages all around the world - what we now hear is gibberish and demonic imho - twinc

"Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away." I Cor 13:8

As goes the tongues, so also goes the knowledge and so also goes the prophecies, so if tongues are gone and the knowledge and the prophecies, do any of us, you or me or the other guy know anything at all? Charity, of course, remains whether the other three are here or not. So then let us understand charity and embrace it.

Tongues are not the compendium for all other gifts. Of course all in turn will cease because there is a time and season for everything. Is prophecy needed in heaven ? Prophecy is needed from heaven as of now still. Once sin ceases to be among all people prophecy is not needed. As for tongues once all thing are whole we need no interpreters or to even speak to multiple cultures. We are of one kingdom and will speak and hear one another in one language. As for Charity, we never cease giving and receiving from one another in eternity, it is eternal. Charity is fraternal love.

As for Charity, we never cease giving and receiving from one another in eternity, it is eternal. Charity is fraternal love.

Charity is described in these verses:

"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things." I Cor 13:4-7


There is a time and season for everything, but it is established by God, not by you or by me. You seemingly have decided along with Twinc that tongues have no further place, but believe me when I say that it is not so.

"Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues." I Cor 14:39

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17

God gave us all that we have. Has He given us anything that is evil? Some gifts indeed are misused or abused or even imitated by people with wrong intentions.

My gifts are not yours and your gifts are not mine. Am I the director of your walk with God? Are you the director of my walk with God?

Will anyone but God tell me how to use what He has given to me as His servant? Should I join the wicked and slothful servant because you advise me that I do not have that which I know I do have?

"And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine." Matt 25:25

Finally consider also what a person's gift is to do for him, if he uses it as God intends. Who but God can tell me His intention for me and my gift?

"A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men." Prov 18:16

Mine is an " whatever" too.

@twinc -All I can say is, this is one of the drums you beat regularly. I wish I had a $ for every thread you have started on the subject of tongues. Not only on this site but the others too.

It must REALLY bother you or scare you or something...as you keep on bringing it up.

If you think that reposting this same old thing is going to some how annoy us (who DO use tongues daily in our prayer life)....then you are very wrong.
We KNOW in whom we believe...and we think you are quite pitiable.
Bless you anyway.

1 Corinthians 13
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.



So using your logic, knowledge is no longer attainable. The bible states "it will vanish away".

How can we be sure that what you're stating is the truth since all knowledge has vanished?

When in the bible does it say that these things will cease? Does the bible give an exact time? o_O These gifts are from the Holy Spirit. Does that mean then that they will cease when the Holy Spirit ceases to function in the lives of born-again believers? Please tell me...

@Armadillo ...Haha! I just read my post again in quoting your "whatever"
My post did not express that I was AGREEING with you! That is why I quoted YOU...I feel the same. SORRY for the way it read. I have changed it now...but hours too late! :oops:

@twinc has posted this type of thread so MANY times over the years.
I think he must be fighting with God about this subject...not us....just like Shakespeare said.." Me thinks he doth protest too much"...all this protesting make him look stupid ..we never can beat God in a fight. God began it..and in HIS time God will let it pass away...and the time is not yet!

Bless you...H

you and others it seems do not read scriptures carefully and prayerfully - we are told that the Holy Spirit will teach or preach nothing of His own but only bring back to remembrance what Jesus had already taught so that Jesus would be the same yesterday today and forever for behold said He " I am with you always even to the end of the world" = He not the Holy Spirit will be not with you as you but you as the Church - twinc

twinc is not protesting against God or His Church but against misguided Protestants and Catholics claiming inspiration and guidance by the Holy Spirit but in fact blaspheming by attributing their fruits and errors to the Holy Spirit and refusing to repent of their blasphemy and errors - twinc

What I am interested in is...you have posted this SOoooo often...Do you REALLY expect that you will get any different answers to all those that you have got before in your "protests"?
You ask the same old questions, the answers don't change.
What do you think you are accomplishing by repost all your same old "protests"?

Amd you like so many denying the works of the Holy Spirit, and walking in your own error. Whats it say,

(Gal 4:29) But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
