[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6061901, member: 24302"] Ending once and for all. You mentioned tongues. A lot of emphasis is put on speaking in an unknown tongue. The word tongue in the King James Version was Middle Age English that just meant language. Men in the very early Church were given various gifts by the Apostles. One was the ability to go into a foreign land and speak to people in their own language. Facilitated spreading the Gospel. But some were abusing their gift by talking in languages that others couldn't understand. Paul said it was of no benefit to others to speak in an unknown tongue in the KJV translation. No benefit to speak in an unknown language. But some denominations have used "an unknown tongue" as saying people could speak in the tongue of angels. Would have somebody doing so while another "interpreted." Not for nothing that the Apostle Paul once said to the Athenians that he perceived they were too superstitious. Speaking in tongues, doing miracles, prophesying, those times have passed. [/QUOTE]
