Re: why i stopped talking in tongues
I responded earlier today to much of the content of this post. This comment by you has the cart before the horse. God did not distribute the gift of tongues (and other gifts) along denominational lines, i.e. only to Pentecostals. The actual historical sequence of events was that God distributed the...

Re: why i stopped talking in tongues
Rick, I believe he is referring to 1 Corinthians 13:10.

Re: why i stopped talking in tongues
14:27 If someone speaks in a tongue, it should be two, or at the most three,one after the other, and someone must interpret. 14:28 But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God. 14:29 Two or three prophets should speak and the others should e...

Re: why i stopped talking in tongues
OK, so if we follow B.W.'s reasoning that tongues are not common - practiced by only a tiny minority of vast Christian Church - and that this is merely due to How God chose to parse them out - well, that presents a dilemma for the vast majority of Christians who do not speak in tongues or are very w...

Re: why i stopped talking in tongues
Primarily for the reason's listed in 1 Co 13:1,2,3 People make dumb idols out of the things of God all the time. A person can even, make the bible into an idol as well. The gifts are still there and people are the same as when Paul wrote of the gifts. In that, you will find an answer that does not ...

Re: why i stopped talking in tongues
I see the supposed Scriptural explanations that tongues are supposedly a spiritual gift still given by God today. But what I'm not seeing are any answers to my biggest questions: Why, if GOD STILL gives the gift of tongues, and as He has abundantly sprinkled the other Scripturally listed gifts throu...

Re: Is the Bible Homophobic?
God and His word are SIN-phobic - and NOT phobic about any person . However, Scripture tells us that God "is no respecter of persons," as He sees all non Christians as the same - meaning that, positionally , He views all unsaved people identically! And yet He has provided and wants to appl...

IF GW is happening and it's more than a cycle and it increases - I'm moving the heck out of the South! I HATE hot weather. I love cold weather and snow (within reason). But here in central SC the heat and humidity just kills me! And it gets harder to take, every summer. Strange, but my Northern CT-r...

Re: AGENDA: Grinding America Down
Can anyone here but me see the hypocrisy of this statement? Someone who does not know me...is judging me..with a quick, cut and paste, and not even one sentence with scripture or anything to back it up. That's all it is here. Falsely Judge, Accuse, critique, condescend.... classic hypocrisy No, JC,...

Re: AGENDA: Grinding America Down
JC, honestly, no one is going to care a whit about what you have to say if all you do is come on as condescending, demeaning, arrogant and mean spirited. NO one here is your enemy! No one here claims to be perfect. And I can guarantee you that most of the Christians on this site are far more concern...

Theories and definitions as defined by WHOM? And by WHOM will such a test be graded - and by WHOSE standards?I also suggest that everyone that opines here needs to at least agree on basic political theory and definitions....pass a basic test?

Re: why i stopped talking in tongues
However if someone feels compelled to utter gibberish and say that brings them closer to G-d. Who am I to judge that? It's only when someone says that is the only way to know someone is spirit filled is where I have the problem. Scripture teaches us to test false spirits speaking through false prop...
