Your own opinion Sir!

Maximus69:
You forgot that this reports weren't made with comparison as you're doing now!

@ Act 9:7 it was the report that Luke heard probably from third party who might have narrated what happened to Paul when he was led about.

@ Act 22:9 it was Paul himself relating his personal experience as been directly involved.

For instance, how do you expect soldiers to explain such when their commander is with them?
OK you expect me to say

"oga i heard the voice but i can't see the person who attacked you, shey?"

My friend, we'll rather say we never heard anything to save our heads because if the commander should report what happened to him in our company, we are in hot as in HOT soup!

So to save ourselves we will all deny hearing anyone but the light which nobody could question us for because it happened during daylight!

That's what those with Paul will continue saying, but during a friendly chat they will disclose that they actually heard but can't explain what the voice meant!

You don't have to interpret what you speak. You're praying directly to God through the help of the holy Ghost. Tongues consist of different language e.g Russian, Arabic. I speak in tongues in Arabic. There was a day I spoke in tongues and a Muslim said I was speaking in Arabic. I asked him for the meaning and he didn't tell me. He said he taught I was a muslim

Speaking in tongues has helped my spiritual growth. It has prevented me from dangers. Cause once am busy I start speak in tongues without control it means danger is learn so I excuse myself to pray in tongues extensively. Its a wonderful gift. Praying in tongues is like praying the mind of God in a situation, so concerning the interpretation if you pray to God to give you the interpretation he'll gibe it to you. Speaking is tongues is vital for Spiritual growth. So speak while some can interpret but if you pray to God he can't give you the ability to speak and interpret. For example I see visions, dreams, and am also an Envagelist. I hope you understand.

Like Shaka Zulu? The same witchcraft has blinded you from recognizing the ancient civilizations we built like Egypt, Timbuktu etc.

Blacks conquered and civilized Europe but they have impoverished and destroyed our people in return.

It began with tricks lies and witchcraft until we're now yielded and subservient. But all that is changing already. It's not time to blame anyone, but to tell ourselves the truth and act accordingly. And as it stands, that truth is offensive to folks like you. Hope you see how you're part of the problem of our people.

The Awakening has begun and no man can stop it.

Of course you need such thorough clarification when relating an event before a stranger who might scrutinize your report!

Imagine if you're asked to relate an incident before your close friends, how do you compare such with when you're asked to do the same before a laws court where whatever you say could be used as evidence against you!

So you're reading with a totally different mindset from that of those who love to gain insight as to it's practical application.

The writers penned down those records for their fellow believers, of course a critic will continue to look for flaws just as the policeman asked to interrogate you is not interested in the lesson you're trying to pass across to your family and friends, but to finds things for which to nail you!

So the book of Act (Bible) was written by our first century Christian brother, we fully understand the message and we know how to apply it appropriately that's why we could speak the same language/tongue globally to make LOVE, JOY and PEACE reign within our global family!

God bless you!

Please how do you comprehend this when a Yoruba man say~

Mi o gbo nkan to nso

loosely translated

I don't hear what he's saying

Of course what this means

I don't UNDERSTAND what he is saying
That doesn't mean he never heard anything!

I could recollect back in school when one of my mates asked our English teacher (Briton) "do you hear Yoruba?"

Mr Franz responded enthusiastically "Yes"

The girl spoke Yoruba and asked Mr Franz to translate, surprisingly he said "i heard what you said but you never asked if i understand the language!

So don't forget that the writers only had information to pass across to us, we are to bring it home by meditating on similar occurences in our own environment to grasp what exactly they meant by those writings!

Please don't mind my grammatical blunder
Story of how I received the Holy Spirit

I come from a pentecostal family, my dad was an elder and my mum a deaconess. Whenever my dad prays he speak in tongues and whenever he does that I always laugh that what is he saying. During Church programmes the pastor will call out those that doesn't have holy spirit. I'll be the first to come , the pastor will touch my head and nothing will happen, when I was attending fellowship the brothers will touch my head, my stomach nothing happened. For many years, there was a day I asked God if others can speak in tongues why can't i. That day I told God that if I can't speak in tongues that's the end I went for a church programme and the MOG said there's a sister here you've been trying to receive the holy Ghost bust nothing has worked for you. He asked us to pray a prayer point I prayed but nothing worked but immediately I left the programme as I was going to my hostel I started speaking in tongues at first I was saying I bind you evil spirit telling me nonsense, but it continued I got to my hostel and throughout the whole day I was just speaking, I was uncomfortable because I had lot of things to do than to speak in tongues.the second day same thing. The day I spoke in tongues I was in my hostel it was very loud , people were saying what's she saying. The next day a lady came to me and told me what her sister told her " that does that speak in tongues are lying". I didn't listen to her

Reasons why people don't believe speaking in tongues is real
1. Churches teach their members how to speak in tongues.
2. You can't live in sin and believe Holy spirit will stay
3. Most churches tell their members speaking in tongues is not important and that we're not bound by old testament

Good morning. Trust you had a nice rest. Your summary is perfect.

Telm56:
There has never and will never be a gain in this thing. Our youths should wisen up and behave like youths from other parts of
The world.

Very soon you will see the perpetrators of this act, coming to NL to confess and stuffs.

The problem with this cult issue is the senior members claiming to have changed and telling tall tales to everyone that cares to listen about their past life.

Our law should start dealing with the repentant cultist first so the aspiring ones will start realizing that there is no end to this.. My two cents

Acehart:
I agree with you with regards to the bolden. What Paul was differentiating in the tongues of Chapter 12:1-3, and that of chapter 12:10 is the former was not a tool for proclaiming Christ’s gospel; the latter was a tool for the ministers to declare the gospel.

I’d like to ask this:

1. Are the unbelievers in Chapter 14 the Jews who were in the synagogues in Gentile territories (as the book of Acts show that those who weren’t open to believing the gospel were the Jews)?

2. If Paul had in mind the unbelieving Gentiles, what sort of tongues would the believing Gentiles manifest for the perplexity of the unbelieving Gentiles?

Acehart:
I’d like to speak about the “tongues of angels”. I had written that the synagogue in Corinth essentially read the Tanakh - the Pentateuch, the Prophets and the Writings. These Hebrew texts weren’t written in Gentiles languages; they were exclusively written in Jewish tongues. Some of the books didn’t make it to our Bible but we see someone like Peter referring to the Book of Enoch, one of the apocrypha.

Just for information: Angelic tongues referred to sung praise in Second Temple period Jewish books. Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice is the principal source for angelic tongues. The Songs describe worship around the throne of God in the heavenly realms. Reference is made to angelic tongues. Throughout the thirteen songs there is everything ranging from accounts of how the angels lead their prayer service in the temple on high to detailed descriptions of the inner throne room where the presence of God and the other god-like beings reside.

In 1 Corinthians 14:7, Paul speaks of a “stringed” instrument - the harp. In one of the sources of angelic tongues hymn books, The pseudepigraphical Testament of Job, Job gives one of his daughters a stringed instrument. In verse 15, he speaks of “singing with the spirit, and singing with the mind”; and giving thanks in verse 17. (Psalms of singing and thanksgiving tongues are sections of the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice)

If there was a deep yearning by the Gentiles to display the “spiritual gift“ of knowing the angelic tongue or the Hebrew tongue illustration of how Angels speak rather, would not the meaning verse 1 Corinthians 14:23 be clearer as all the citizens of Corinth who were members in the church at Corinth all speak in Jewish tongue and a fellow citizen (an unbeliever) enters the assembly and see such a manifestation and declare his fellow citizens mad?

Maximus69:
The Act of Apostle was recorded by a disciple named Luke!

His style of writing is peculiar to that of a pharmacist, always particular with medications and specific when talking about illnesses.

Here Luke wasn't writing this story as an eyewitness of the event but as one penning down what he heard from Paul who was directly involved in the incident.

So in a nutshell, Luke is saying those with Paul were just observers of the event but they can't say specifically what happened to Paul.

They saw the light but since the one speaking from the light had nothing to do with them it never affected their sight the way it did to Paul.

They heard a voice but can't specifically say what transpired between the one speaking and Paul with whom Jesus spoke!

It's good you brought this up and i must confess that it's God's holy spirit that spur you to bring up the issue on this particular thread! John 11:49-51

The voice Jesus used in speaking with Paul was that of an angel who spoke in tongues only for the one concerned to grasp but if not Paul himself none of those traveling with him could interpret what Jesus said to Paul! 1Corinthians 14:13

God bless you!

Goshen360:
It looks like we might have to slow down and ask ourselves some questions in order to learn or unlearn....depending what angle we're looking at.

So the question I was asking myself is, what's exactly is this unknown tongues or language of angel.

2. What or why do I need to speak language of Angels for if I'm not praying or speaking to Angels?

3. I think there's a misconception or misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the word "unknown" in 1 cor 14v2.

4. I think MuttleyLaff explained it and I also did some extraction and insertion into the whole of 1 cor 14 and its clearer to me now....

5. I did my study insertion AND ALSO extract that word "unknown" and asked questions while studying and that made the whole 1 cor 14 clearer...You might want to do same.

It trips up, a lot, quite a few of our Muslim and Atheist brothers/sisters and it leaves me laughing very hard. On the face of it, they appear contradictory and so you find some argumentative Muslim and Atheist brothers/sisters come up waving those two verses about crying blue murder, that they are inconsistencies, when they aren't, lmao. Doing a thorough or detailed review of the verses would have saved them from slipping on that banana skin.

The construct used in the two verses, we also often use it too, when conversing in Yoruba.

Case in point 1:
"Ẹ ku irọle, sir". Though you heard me, but you, pretending not to have heard, prolly from still nursing an earlier vex, will respond "Mi o gbọ ẹ"

Loosely translated means:
"Good evening, sir". Though you heard me, but you, pretending not to have heard, prolly from still nursing an earlier vex, will respond "I don't hear you"

Case in point 2:
"Good evening, sir". Though you loud and clearly heard me, but since you don't understand nor speak English, will in Yoruba, honestly and truthfully say "Mi o gbọ ẹ" ( i.e. ''I don't understand you'')

"¹Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest
²and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
³As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
⁴He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
⁵“Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked.
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.
⁶“Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
⁷The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone"
- Acts 9:1-7

"¹Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
²(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
³I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
⁴And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
⁵As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
⁶And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
⁷And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
⁸And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
⁹And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of Him that spake to me."
