| Speaking In Tongues (glossolalia) Is Bullshit by SSIPON(op): 12:52pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
Popular faith healers like, David Oyedepo, Johnson Suleimanm, Pat Robertson and other TV evangelists encourage their audiences to engage in "speaking in tongues." This is an exact use of magical spells and incantations, an intrinsic part of magical methodology, and is indistinguishable from it, though it is called "religion" by the modern-day priests. While "speaking in tongues, performers (both preachers and worshipers) mumble gibberish which is believed by the faithful to be a secret prayer language understood only by God-and his Anointed Ministers, of course. (Some of w. V. Grant's magic words transcribe as "Quah talah mokos! Stee keekeenee bahkus! Dee!" The fact that each person mumbles differently matters not a whit. God, angels, and Anointed Ministers, we are told, are able to understand. Technically, this psychological phenomenon is known as glossolalia. Early Methodists, Quakers, Shakers, and Mormons adopted it, then de-emphasized it. Until recently, there was not much emphasis on it in Christianity, and it fell into disuse until about 1830, when it reappeared in England, among "females of excitable temperament," and now the Pentecostal sects have revived it. Scripturally, Glossolalia is traced back to Acts 2:4, and a meeting of the Apostles, wherein they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to talk in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power or utterance. Glossolalia (speaking in tongues) is older than Christianity and it is even present in other religions. Non-Christian glossolalia is difficult for Christians to explain. It predates them considerably, being described in very ancient religions and known in primitive societies untouched by Christianity. It was known to Plato, who described it in use in his day: Greek and Roman oracles spoke in tongues. Virgil wrote about a Roman Sibyl who babbled that way, in the Aenead, Book Six. Moslems embraced the idea, too. Non-Pentecostal fundamentalists believe that their Pentecostal brothers might be inspired to glossolalia by Satan. Who knows? There is a biblical explanation of the fact that no one is able to understand this chatter. We are told (1 Corinthians 14:2) that when a man is using the language of ecstasy he is talking with God, not with men, for no man understands him, lol. Anyways, I just wanted to end this post by saying I hope you learnt something from this post and, that speaking in tongues is gibberish and bullshit. I even heard that in Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's church, they usually hold sessions where they can teach you how to speak in tongues, Someone please tell me in the comments section, Is it true? |

If it is as old as write up posits then it is something you should approach with care. Even our native doctors speak what ordinary humans don’t understand. Don’t be too quick to label what you don’t understand bullshit. By the way I am a Christian and I am speaking in tongues as reply you. That’s me making tremendous power available in the MIGHTY name of JESUS. |

SSIPON:We have told them tirelessly that we know that they are False and trying to deceive simple and foolish people that God is with them, whereas it is Satan that is with them and the love of money they pursue. But because of the money profit they would never stop. |

SSIPON:What do you mean by legit? If you mean is it a language, no it's not. If you mean is it special, no it is not. If you mean is it something humans can do yes it is something any human can do. I speak in tongues from time to time it's quite exhilarating. |

Dtruthspeaker:You started well, but about 23 words in, your post stopped making sense. What evidence do you have for the existence of a Satan. |
| Re: Speaking In Tongues (glossolalia) Is Bullshit by SSIPON(op): 1:36pm On Oct 15, 2021 |
LordReed:So you just mix random vowels and syllables together? Whenever you are "speaking in tongues",do you understand what you are saying? What about those that speak in tongues in other religions? |

That's why FSM is the only true God. He doesn't allow you disgrace yourself and your entire household all in the name of speaking in an unknown tongue. Hail the noodly lord. |

SSIPON:The easiest evidence is, look at the statements and the spirit what you call demeanor of people caught in a crime what they said, especially men. They generally almost always say "I do not know what entered me to do this thing" I replace it for them to say "I do not know who entered me to do this thing" And you see that scenario play out with King Saul and Judas in the words "And an evil spirit entered him" or "and the devil entered him". |

SSIPON:Yes it is just a mishmash of syllables that mimic coherent language. It's not a real language in any sense. It's the same no matter the religion. And I am not religious so it really has nothing to do with religion. |

SSIPON:If you are a Christian I pray you remember this your post the day you access the help of the Holy Spirit through the power of tongues. If you are not a Christian then I sincerely pray for your conviction and conversion. When that happens, please remember to pray and bring more souls to the kingdom of light. WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU!!!! |

SSIPON:Don't blaspheme the Holy Spirit... There is no forgiveness for those who do so. If you don't understand praying in tongues, keep it to yourself and don't bring unnecessary judgment to yourself. |
