Horus:

Speaking In Tongues?

The Caucasians and Hindu took our ancient African sciences but aligned them with the moon and gave the world Luna Astrology to counter attack the African sciences now known as solar biology. They use negative conscious gases we call 6 ether. It is these 6 ether conscious gases which are reactivated through the Caucasian version of Christianity. It is these gases which make people speak tongue in churches and lose their mind. It is what you call a gospel which means ghost spell. 6 ether gases represent the dead while 9 ether gases represent life. It is these 6 ether conscious gases that exist within oxygen that in your blood stream spark your brain in church to fall to the ground or foam in the mouth etc. In turn it dismantles the rational part of the brain which questions things thus making you subservient in nature. This keeps you in a spell believing that Caucasian are here to help and that they are your masters. This led to you giving up your African land resources to them allowing them to exploit your lands for their personal wealth. This has led to the young Africans giving up their culture for the western ways. To know what is good or bad you must know that any belief system that does not promote you, your own culture, your own race and your own physical appearance (all differences) in a positive manner has to revised. Even though there is evidence that people of the African (Nubian) race are in the bible, films, pictures and books still promote a white Jesus and white prophets. Many disagreeable people use these negative six ether forces to cast bad spells at night, as they need the moon present.

What do we expect from an atheist?

But let me tell you something - people, including me, pray in tongues in private prayer. When we're alone in a room at night, for example. Does that mean that a few vials of 6 ether enclosed in a special type of glass which subtly breaks at a sonic trigger have been sewn into the seams of my shirts? Please!

You're an atheist. I don't expect you to agree with the whole "Speaking in Tongues" thing. But thanks for deviating from the usual sharp insults that fly around whenever people's religious opinions contradict. Thanks very much, honestly.

Horus:

6 ether and 9 ether have nothing to do with beliefs but facts and science. You dont have to believe in the law of gravity but if you drop an object the fact that you dont believe in the law of gravity cannot stop this object to be atracted to the ground. 6 ether gases represent the dead while 9 ether gases represent life. When you inverse the number 9 it give you 6. The caucasian inverted our African sciences and he is using it against us trought beliefs.

Bobbyaf:

My understanding of the gift of tongues is quite a different thing. I personally don't see the gift as uttering sounds that are not understandable.

mactao:

Weak argument.

Gravity is obvious. The most obvious thing on earth. How do you explain the fact that I speak in tongues in private prayer?

hubreality:

Speaking in tongues is a gift of the Holy Ghost made available to only believers who received Christ into their spirits. Its meaningless to an unbeliever. Are you a believer in God's word and His Spirit, this is a major gift/tool of the Spirit not of sensory perceptions. Desire it, embrace it, accept it, and use it very often. It will make out of you a "change agent." Remember, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, rulers of wicked forces in the high places. Refuse to be robbed of this great gift/tool of the Spirit thru doubts, unbelief, and critics. Ask the Lord of Hosts(Christ Jesus) to reveal more thru His Word and Spirit. More of our faith walk are attached to this.

1 Co 14:2

2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

It does happen when people are speaking in tongues that they begin to speak other human languages. But it's possible that you utter sounds that are not comprehensible by others, from the verse above.

Now, people misuse the whole tongues thing, even people who speak fake tongues. The Bible in 1Cor 14 says that all things should be done to edify the Church. If someone gets up in the middle of a service and starts speaking out loud in "tongues", then God is not pleased. One, it's disorderly. Two, the Bible says that if there is no interpreter, one should speak to himself and God alone.

I hope you understand now.

Glossolalia is commonly called "speaking in tongues". For other uses of "speaking in tongues", see Speaking in Tongues (disambiguation).
"Tongues" redirects here. For the body part, see Tongue, for other uses, see Tongue (disambiguation).
Some uses of 'Glossolalia' (including here) refer to Xenoglossy, speaking in a natural language that was previously unknown to the speaker.

Glossolalia or speaking in tongues refers to the vocalizing (or, less commonly, writing) of fluent speech-like syllables, often as part of religious practice. Some consider these utterances to be meaningless, others consider them to be a holy language.

Linguistics of Pentecostal glossolalia

William J. Samarin, a linguist from the University of Toronto, published a thorough assessment of Pentecostal glossolalia that became a classic work on its linguistic characteristics.[3] His assessment was based on a large sample of glossolalia recorded in public and private Christian meetings in Italy, Holland, Jamaica, Canada and the USA over the course of five years; his wide range included the Puerto Ricans of the Bronx, the Snake Handlers of the Appalachians, and Russian Molokan in Los Angeles.

Samarin found that glossolalic speech does resemble human language in some respects. The speaker uses accent, rhythm, intonation and pauses to break up the speech into distinct units. Each unit is itself made up of syllables, the syllables being formed from consonants and vowels taken from a language known to the speaker.

It is verbal behavior that consists of using a certain number of consonants and vowels[, ]in a limited number of syllables that in turn are organized into larger units that are taken apart and rearranged pseudogrammatically[, ]with variations in pitch, volume, speed and intensity.[4]

[Glossolalia] consists of strings of syllables, made up of sounds taken from all those that the speaker knows, put together more or less haphazardly but emerging nevertheless as word-like and sentence-like units because of realistic, language-like rhythm and melody.[5]

That the sounds are taken from the set of sounds already known to the speaker is confirmed by others: Felicitas Goodman found that the speech of glossolalists reflected the patterns of speech of the speaker's native language.[6]

Samarin found that the resemblance to human language was merely on the surface, and so concluded that glossolalia is "only a facade of language".[7] He reached this conclusion because the syllable string did not form words, the stream of speech was not internally organised, and – most importantly of all – there was no systematic relationship between units of speech and concepts. Humans use language to communicate, but glossolalia does not. Therefore he concluded that glossolalia is not "a specimen of human language because it is neither internally organized nor systematically related to the world man perceives".[7]

On the basis of his linguistic analysis, Samarin defined Pentecostal glossolalia as "meaningless but phonologically structured human utterance, believed by the speaker to be a real language but bearing no systematic resemblance to any natural language, living or dead".[8]

Practitioners of glossolalia may disagree with linguistic researchers and claim that they are speaking human languages (xenoglossia). For example Ralph Harris, in the work Spoken By the Spirit published by Radiant Life/GPH in 1973, describes seventy five occasions when glossolalic speech was understood by others. (Scientific research into such claims is documented in the article on xenoglossia.)

Comparative linguistics

Felicitas Goodman, a psychological anthropologist and linguist, studied a number of Pentecostal communities in the United States, Caribbean and Mexico; these included English, Spanish and Mayan speaking groups. She compared what she found with recordings of non-Christian rituals from Africa, Borneo, Indonesia and Japan. She took into account both the segmental structure (such as sounds, syllables, phrases) and the supra-segmental elements (rhythm, accent, intonation), and concluded that there was no distinction between what was practised by the Pentecostal Protestants and the followers of other religions.[9]

Learned behaviour

The material explanation arrived at by a number of studies is that glossolalia is "learned behavior".[15][19] What is taught is the ability to produce language-like speech. This is only a partial explanation, but it is a part that has withstood much testing. It is possible to train novices to produce glossolalic speech. One experiment with 60 undergraduates found that 20% succeeded after merely listening to a 60-second sample, and 70% succeeded after training:

Our findings that glossolalia can be easily learned through direct instruction, along with demonstrations that tongue speakers can initiate and terminate glossolalia upon request and can exhibit glossolalia in the absence of any indexes of trance[…] support the hypothesis that glossolalia utterances are goal-directed actions rather than involuntary happenings.[20]

That glossolalia can be learned is also seen in the traces left behind by teachers. An investigation by the Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn showed that the influence of a particular leader can shape a group's glossolalia: where certain prominent glossolalists had visited, whole groups of glossolalists would speak in his style of speech.[21]

However, certain sounds have been found to predominate throughout the world, irrespective of teachers. The word ‘shunda’ and its variations ‘shunder’, ‘shonder’ and ‘shindir’ are prominent in samples through the United States, Wales and New Zealand.[18]
