Speaking in tongues is a language that only God understands, even the person speaking doesn't know what he is saying. Its a language that get the devil confused because he can understand every other language apart from speaking in tongues. and as i can see some demons on nairaland are really getting confused already. Don't bother trying to understand because you won't [sup][/sup]

Why don't you listen to Islamic songs and ask for interpretations?

naijadeyhia:
Seun I have listened to that song a lot of time before now and there is power in it. it always gets me speaking in tongues as well as my head fills up with the knowledge of thr power of God. Great song!

The gift of tongues and the gift of interpretation of tongues are unique and meant for the edifying of the body of Christ and not for those who are not members of the body.

By the grace of God I am blessed with the gift of interpretation of tongues but it isnt permanent and comes only when there is a need in the house of God for interpretation so as to help Prophecy.

If anyone were to offer you the interpretation of these tongues spoken by her you would not believe it as the unbeliever you are. If you love the song as you claim why not give your life to Christ then desire the holy spirit along with that gift of tongue interpretation so you can appreciate it for yourself.

Choose a side Seun and stop playing to the gallery.

About 6 pages and 18 days later, still no translation Where are my brothers in Christ Embassy? joagbaje, petra1 your help is needed. I am sure you are close to Sinach as a CE pastor. Biko just translation, anything other than quoting verses upandan for me is allowed even cooked up translation I will accept. Let's kill the thread the shame is too much, biko.

How can you speak so confidently about what you don't understand?
Tongues is a language but it's a spiritual language.Do you speak or understand Mandarin?If a man speaks mandarin,will another Chinese man understand him?Yes,but you do not because it is strange to you nevertheless it's a language understood.Does it have the same words when spoken by another man?Yes.
Tongues can have similar words and they can be repeated.It doesn't make it nonsense.
Interpreting it comes as another gift.Some have that gift.

If there is anything that is starkly spurious in christianity, it's the whole notion of speaking in tongues.
What christians call speaking is tongues, is just someone saying random meaningless words and claiming it's of heavenly origin. Anyone can do this.

Just study any christian who frequently speaks in tongues and you'll notice that every time he speaks in tongues, he uses the same string of phrases. This is because his brain has already become accustomed to those words, and invariably made it his default "heavenly tongue."

I know relations who have been using the same string of meaningless phrases for years now. They are so used to it, that they don't even know that it's the same bland group of words that they use.

Christians need to know that whatever transcendent feeling they experience, that causes them to speak in tongues, such feeling is not exclusive to christians. People from other religions also experience this feeling when they engage in their own so called spiritual activities, which can range from worship, to prayer, or even meditation which is isomorphic to quiet prayer, and such feeling can be so profound and overwhelming, that it makes them susceptible to suggestion and weird behavior. And when they get accustomed to such weird behavior, it becomes a part of them.

The fact that there are branches of christianity that don't even believe in the idea of speaking in tongues, and still claim that they speak to and hear from God, and God assures them on a daily basis that what they are doing( not believing in his holy spirit and manifesting it's presence by speaking in tongues) is right, then it raises the question of the validity of either of the beliefs, because both camps claim that God speaks to them. So it's either God is deliberately causing confusion, is confused himself, or both camps are just being delusional and their God doesn't exist.

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- I cor 14:2

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost Jude 1:20

If you lack understanding on the mystery of speaking of tongues, don't criticize what you don't understand.Go for understanding to enlighten your ignorance.

Genuine tongues come from the spirit man by the Holy Ghost and has some form of impact on the person speaking but just like everything good God does, Satan also has his version.

If you are not born again and neither are you baptized in the HolyGhost.How can you understand the mystery of tonging in the HolyGhost.Impossible!!. Why?

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned-I cor 2:14.

Science has proved that when a person prays in the Holy ghost, the natural speaking pattern(that is the body system of speaking ) is altered, and functions in a strange way. Find that research out.if you care.

goldwaters:
It's supposed to be speaking in unknown(to the speaker) tongues/a foreign language not gibberish. And it should be interpreted so all present gets the message.
It surprises me that some denominations even teach how to speak in tongues.

thorpido:
The thread is about Sinach who spoke in tongues in her recorded song which I believe she did at her recording in the studio.How does this comment of yours relate with that?

The bible says when you speak in tongues in a gathering,let there be an interpreter or you should keep quiet.The question is,do you first check if there will be an interpreter before speaking in tongues?

Do you understand the bible when you read it?

Mujtahida:
This is precisely what I always say! Christians are walled up within the confines of whatever brand out of the myriad of brands of Christianity they follow. Dreams, visions, transcendental experiences, healing, prophecies, exorcisms and other spiritual experiences are not unique to Christianity-Sufis, Hindu holy men, Shamans, African witch doctors etc experience exactly the same thing but under a different label. Take speaking in tongues for example, in the ancient world long before the advent of Christianity, the phenomenon of glossalia was known in the various mystery cults. It's all in the brain jare. It's just the believing brain mixing neurochemicals and producing all sorts of heavenly experiences for believers.

Wow. Seun, this is an all time low, I must say. I'm even finding it difficult to believe this came from you. Upon all the sense wey I feel say you get!

I mean, there are other genres of music you could possibly listen to to unwind or relax! But you chose gospel? For real? For what purpose? To criticize? Show us how well-read, exposed and smart you are? Or to make us start hurling insults at each other? Or you're looking to argue and boost your constantly shrinking atheistic ego? I'd have sworn you knew better than to instigate e-battles.

Why don't you try heavy metal, rap, jazz, salsa or whareva? I'm sure it'll be easier to understand those ones and leave these fake ones for the 'silly and gullible' people who have chosen to believe in God.

If we are convinced we are right in the different choices we've made, shouldn't we leave it to Providence or whatever to decide who is right or wrong? I could argue with you till next year and you'd still believe you're right in your beliefs and vice versa. So what's the point? To each his own Oga.

promise10:
the way some guys can expose their stupidity is so shocking!

first tongue was a language spoken by some people within neighboring countries to Israel as at that time??!

come on Bros, tell me more!

I expected something sensible as a rebuttal, quote me when you have one.

Lilimax:
Seun, I hope you're genuinely asking for the interpretation of these tongues otherwise you may be overstepping your boundary. Every sin may be forgiven but the sin against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Don't make jest with Him!

Dayvhid:
you mean the holy spirit is the bad ass dude whose feelings should not be played with or else his father who is also him ( the holy spirit) would never forgive us..................the holy spirit is so emotional.

femzysticks:
interpretation of tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit...

tongues also is not an earthly language but a spiritual language..

you need to be highly connected to the spirit to understand (when you have the gift)

not interpreting plane text...

the meaning is not certain..

when we speak in tongues.. the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. that is He prays for us. telling God our heart desires and worship...

so the meaning of that at that time may not be be meaning later..

it takes men of the spirit to understand things of the spirit!!!
