Perosnally, I don't like the idea that God would need us to sepak in gibberish. Why would He?

Re: Speaking in tongues?
The Greek word used in the NT for "tongues" is glossa. It means "language." I don't think anybody would consider baby-babbling a language, and rightly so. Bottom line, I don't believe that the "tongues" you hear people speaking in today are at all related to the tongues the earliest Christian's spoke in. Now, you show me someone who can speak Spanish, French, English, German, etc., without having gone through the process of learning it, I'll say you've found a real instance of tongues.
And that, brothers and sisters, is the kind of foolishness you get people who insist on denying biblical theism. A good illustration of any as the length people will go to avoid acknowledging basic truths.Proinsias wrote:I don't think you are hearing me. Preference for ice cream is a moral issue

i dont think the disciples said "hey! lets talk a buncha jibberish"....i knew something was wierd about it...plus i noticed that the person teaching sorta took the verses that supposably supported it out of context....go figure
