Tinubu and his supporters should learn what collocation means.

Trinitycian:
"We Inherited Speaking In Tongues from the Bible" has 2 interpretations and both are blasphemous.

INTERPRETATION ONE... (Acts 2)

Using this interpretation, Tinubu is saying we "Inherited" God's gift from the Bible. Speaking in Tongues is a gift, not an inheritance. It's a gift granted by the HOLY SPIRIT to speak languages the speaker DID NOT PREVIOUSLY KNOW. It's not Inherited, but gifted by the Holy Spirit.


(WRONG) INTERPRETATION TWO.. (Tower of Babel Genesis 11:1 - 9 )

This interpretation is even more blasphemous. Tower of Babel is a symbol of disunity. The confusion and disunity God afflicted them was punishment for their act of rebellion and arrogance. In other words, the story of Babel explains how /why we had different languages leading to confusion and tribalism and eventually disunity. So saying we inherited it from the Bible would mean we inherited our current disunity from the Bible.

So those linking what Tinubu said to the Tower of Babel should have a rethink.


WHY INTERPRETATION TWO IS WRONG...

Speaking In Tongues means "Gift of Tongues". In English, there's a term called 'collocation'. Collocation, according to Wikipedia "refers to a natural (predictable) combination of words that are closely affiliated with each other."
Speaking in Tongues has no affiliation with the Tower of Babel disunity. This is why if you trace the origin of 'speaking in Tongues', you won't see the story of Babel.

So my advice is that Tinubu should learn how to speak coherently before he inadvertently blaspheme against Islam. We know what would happen next.


NOTE: "Speaking in Tongues here is used within the context of the Bible.

Both of them are wild beasts driven by 24 carat GREED.
Enemies of New Nigeria

Tinubu and shettima hate the christians so much.

Please stop taking Reno serious

Even if Tinubu was referring to speaking in different tongues did we not get that knowledge from the Bible?

Ask Reno to speak in tongues now, can anyone in Nigeria or around the world understand?

Tower of Babel? Confusion? Yes is that not a reflection of the present state of the Nation, where leaders are chosen on primordial sentiments?

If you don’t like Tinubu, no problem but stop exposing your ineptitude.

Your Tinubu is talking nonsense and you're blaming Reno

Blaming Reno for what?

Was Tinubu talking to Reno?

What nonsense did you see in Tinubu statement?

What is your own opinion? Don’t join the bandwagon? State what you think as an intellectual....

Explain to me how collocation affects what Tinubu said and your own understanding of the argument.

The funny thing about what he said is that anybody can interpret it to his/her own understanding. To me, I see it as him saying we didn't speak in tongues until Christianity and the bible came to Africa.

I'm Obidient. But what I think he's saying is that we inherited different languages according to the biblical account of the tower of babel. But that is even why we should be prosperous (cos it's a symbol of our diversity).

Only fools supports this old looking man

Lol.. I'm Obidient but for once I tink BAT was misunderstood.. now let me rescue him .. what he meant was that we are not a homogeneous society'.. we are diverse and multi plural.. but that can be converted to gains and prosperity.. Do u Gerrit? .. obi-dients are objective species.. I light up my kpoli in peace

This man is confused....

Speaking In Tongues has no collocation with the Tower of Babel.

Even if we admit for the sake of argument, then he's indirectly saying we inherited tribalism and disunity from the Bible. Taking the symbolism of the Babel story into consideration.

But that's not even the case.

The meaning of "Babel" is confusion. The disunity and confusion inflicted on them by God were a punishment. You should read my post and do your research

Tinubu and shettima hate the christians so much.

WHILE CHRISTIANS LOVE TINUBU AND SHETTIMA SO MUCH.

Many will come for Tinubu's head. I know we pushed him to be more visible and give more speeches but this I don't even wish for my enemy.

Make una nor vex. Make he nor talk again. Thank you.

What language do you speak when you speak in tongues?

Are Nigerian languages and the state of the Nation not synonymous with the biblical Babel, even though the circumstances differ?

Already Read ur post bruv
The story of the Tower of Babel explains the origins of the multiplicity of languages. God was concerned that humans had blasphemed by building the tower to avoid a second flood so God brought into existence multiple languages. Thus, humans were divided into linguistic groups, unable to understand one another.
Now the one billion dollar question is, how is speaking in diverse language synonymous to discriminatory behavior called tribalism...
In ur post, u said tinubu blasphemed, How did tinubu blasphemed for referring to a text which state the origin of multiplicity of languages which was caused as a result of blasphemous act of mankind..

Don’t you see a similarity in the Nigerian state even though it is self inflicted?
