Owopariola001:
Was he wrong?

Is there any other historical book with a history that has an earlier timeline of speaking in different tongues other than the Bible?

And by the way, his statement is about the story of "The Tower of Babel."

I wonder how y'all claimed to be "Christians" but ignorance, hatred, and bias made you forget your Book of Genesis 11:1–9

It is also a shame that many people don't even know that "Tongue" can be used synonymously as "Language."

If you can't use your brain, the joke is on you.

Oga Tinubu's speech was incoherent and disjointed, stop defending nonsense!?

YourMrBoo:
Am not surprised seeing this comment

he just finished sniffing soakaway. No mind am

kingyakos:
How can u say he's 100% right, the talent or gift you have did you inherited it from a book you read....


All this 7% Education budget graduate sef...

Don't quote him out of context...the Bible was clear in telling us when languages scatter and how the disciples spoke in tongues when they were "endued with power from on high!"

Kagd10:
Speaking of tongues is speaking different languages without learning it. The first happened at the tower of Babel. The second happened at Pentecost.

So why did you decide he was talking about the tower of Babel?, The gift of speaking in tongues is a spiritual gift, that happens till this day, there is nothing spiritual about all the languages we speak now.

When you speak the languages we speak now, we are not speaking in the tongues the Bible means.

The point is, let's stop referencing the wrong areas to make a point that ends up not adding up, that's what Tinubu did.

I am not a Tinubu supporter. I am part of the obidient gang, to be honest I despise Tinubu for several reasons.
.
But I have to say you are very correct on this. Most of those criticising him have no idea what he was talking about at that point...others just decided to make a joke out of him because of their hatred for him. The choices we make shouldnt becloud our sense of reasoning. As much as I dislike the man, he often make valid points typical of an elder anyway.
.
I really wish everyone could be like me. Try to comprehend first before bashing. Again, you are very right.

chinchum:
He is speaking about diversity. Not necessarily out of place. "Tongues and tribes may differ" was in the former national anthem. He made reference to that in the complete speech. Lazy youths with no critical thinking forming woke. I listened to Peter Obis interview with Adeola Fayehun. I could not but sigh.

So our diversity, in this case tongues and tribes came from the Bible? See person way dey talk critical thinking, e nor even sabi think.

So all the tribes in Nigeria came into existence after the Missionaries brought the Bible ba. So we all sat down read the Bible and one part of the country suddenly decided to be Yoruba and automatically acquired the understanding of the language .

Olojuobinrin:
Do you speak in tongues or speaking gibberish like those you’re defending?

Lol...I am not defending anybody, it is you condemning what you know nothing about.

You are right, his actually wanted to reference the tower of Babel situation, but as usual, he went off key, just like he did with Twitter and WhatsApp and IPPS

Tulumbu e yaff lule

VERDA:
Your being ignorant, it's not about debate, it's about saying things truthfully.

Speaking in tongues is a gift given by the holy spirit, and not inherited from the Bible.

He said we all inherited, only Christians can be gifted the gift of speaking in tongues, let's always say things truthfully and not just think we can use semantics in every matter.

The tower of Babel was for diversity. Same with the disciples at the Pentecost, it was because there were several people with different languages surrounding the disciples hence the reason why God made the disciples to start speaking in different tongues of the people surrounding the disciples hence why these people were astonished to see the disciples speaking their different languages to them.

The topic of Tinubu's message was diversity. You get the message.

This is when you're lost in translation..

It's all about context and the point you're trying to make.

The lowly manner of thinking I see in this thread appalling..

Btw, speaking in tongues either gift or inherited are elements in the holy Bible.

I just wonder if some of you are Christians for real.

VERDA:
No it is you that has nothing upstairs, speaking in tongues in the context of the Bible cannot be inherited, it is a spiritual gift, know this and know peace.

Please tell me where in that video Tinubu mentioned the tower of Babel, since you guys have decided to be stupid and think everyone is as dumb as you.

You have decided to assume he was talking about the tower of Babel in your attempt to deceive gullible people like yourself.

Since he mentioned speaking in tongues and Bible, please tell me if speaking in tongues was referenced just once in the Bible.

If your answer is YES, you clearly don't have sense and I will not respond to you again.

If your answer is NO, then why have you decided to pick just one area where tongues was referenced in the Bible, even though any sensible Christian that hears speaking in tongues knows, they are talking about the gift of the spirit.

Stop being ignorant, shut up and learn.

How can a sensible individual read the speech of Tinubu talk about our diversities and the strength of it, yet assumed he was talking about the speaking in tongues in the upper room where holy spirit was released on people. C'mon, don't be dumb. Diversity of tongues was originally narrated by the Bible in the story of the tower of Babel where people spoke different tongues.
Stop confusing the spiritual exercise from the upper room where the early Christians spoke in tongues( in the holy ghost) with a United people who later spoke in tongues (in different mother languages) at the towel of Babel. It's common sense that diversity and unity in diversity has a lot correlation with the event of the later- tower of babel.

If you comprehend well and actually think about it. Did you actually inherit language from the Bible? Use your head. So if I wrote a book about how one man created gun in 120bc. Does that mean you inherited gun from my book? The Bible didn't give you any language to inherit. It just told you a story of what happened years ago. So if you want to be accurate and not make fallacious statements you will say we inherited languages or tongues from the tower of Babel.

i know someone will bark.

1. Bible provides knowledge and understanding.

2. We inherit the knowledge and understanding of diverse tongues from the bible.

If you can understand 1, you may be able to understand 2. Most likely, you cant understand any. Critical thinking is a lack for many Nigerian youths though.

You dey mind them? People spoke in different tongues in the bible in the old and new testament. Tower of Babel was where it all started, and later the spiritual one that happened with the disciples at the upper room when the holy spirit descended upon the people. He knew what he was saying.
He wasn't blaspheming or deriding Christianity... It's election period so people are ready to twist and misquote whatever their opponents say.

It wasn't a mistake. He knew what he was saying
He said it in a condescending way.

So only Bible provide knowledge and understanding

So without the Bible you will never know that the language your neighbors are speaking is different your own. Omo the way you guys think is marvelous. Aba made critical thinker

kingyakos:
He is saying we inherited diverse tongues from the Bible..and he is correct.



He's wrong to say that, he would've said "we inherited diverse tongues from our creator and not the Bible.

If u are a Yoruba, are you trying to say the Yoruba language you speaking you inherited it from Yoruba books you do read

Dull answer..
Can you or anybody inherit from God?
No,of course not.
The words of God and speaking in tongues especially were all taken from the Bible.
He couldnt have said we inherited it from God and he couldnt begin to calll the different names or clans that spoke in tongues in the Bible.The Bible was the first book to tell us about speaking in tongues.
Only intelligent people will understand that the best way to say it is to refer to the Bible as long as talking in tongues is concerned.
Unintelligent people will not quickly understand except with lots and lots of explanation.

Owopariola001:
Prove me wrong.

tinubu promised to recruit 50 million soldiers you said he was right ,he cried sang emilokan you said he was right,now we inherited speaking in tongue from the bible you said he was perfect, the next tinubu will say shall be M.C Oluomo will make your sister his 5th wife you will also agree with him,Jesus What type zobies are supporting tinubu please, no wonder they hid him from attending NBA annual Forum,a yoruba man at the audience shouted haaaa and your here defending

Our next president is confused, he don't even know his religion, better speak in greek

From what you have written, it means speaking in tongues were things that happened in the Bible and God directly gave the gift to the people.
How do you marry that with it was inherited.

The problem with this whole thing is the word inherited. People still speak in tongues now, and I mean still receive the gift of the holy spirit, what is God trying to do in cases like this...is it also to surprise people around?.

Speaking in tongues is a spiritual phenomenon that gives you edge in the spirit, God was not trying to make the people around during the pentecost surprised, it just so happens that people get surprised when strange things happen.

Again, when people say speaking in tongues, as referenced by the Bible, it's something spiritual, and can in no way be used in the context Tinubu used it.

We can't explain away spiritual things as if your doing reading and comprehension.

Tinubu should have used a better analogy or example to make his point, thats all people are saying.

jikins:

so tell other book of knowledge known to provide the knowledge and understanding of the babel of tower?

I wont waste my time with you anymore. Much ado about nothing. Youths forming woke but not smart.

Tinubu said diversity started from the Bible which is the truth. I don't get what you're arguing about tbh.

How does inheriting speaking of tongues from the Bible corelate with service he is talking about?

LordIsaac:

The Bible keep records of history and it's not a book which you read and inherite a gift.

Yes the Bible told us how languages scattered and how the disciples spoke in tongues, it didn't say they inherited it from the Bible like tinubu said. Tinubu is absolutely wrong in saying that.

See the warped thinking of you people.

The man asked you to prove him wrong about his comment regarding the topic, speaking in tongues and the Bible and you cluelessly gyrated to MC Oluomo and other unintelligent rubbish..

lol... Some of you are too far gone beyond redemption..

femisplash:
Tongues as used in this context is same as Languages, they could be used interchangeably. People from the tower of Babel spoke in different tongues/Languages after God confused their tongues and made them not understand each other. There is a reason why people are right calling you zombidients, sadly, most of you are youths or students who have nothing upstairs.

See what u wrote up there. You wrote spoke in different languages not spoke in tongues. We understand his point, but just lets agree he made a mistake, nobody is above that. But you guys defending one's error to be right is what is killing we Africans.

Lol... Like I said it is you that is dumb, Tinubu should have used a better analogy or example and not use speaking in tongues was inherited for Christ sake.

How hard is this for you to understand.

You cannot use the wrong words in the wrong context and claim people should just know you meant a certain thing.

Every sensible person knows what he was trying to say, you can be incoherent, and wrong about something and people will still generally understand what your trying to say.
