Yet you turn around here to say NOTHING IS SPIRITUAL?

I said it was as spiritual as any spiritual experience that anybody has ever had, which is correct. But it was also purely psychological. Indeed, all spiritual experiences are mostly psychological. My experience was emotional and genuine but very natural, just like every spiritual experience.

What??.
it's Spiritual but not supernatural? What? So, the supernatural operates differently from the Spiritual. This is new. Pls Seun teach me something new.

Nothing is spiritual in the 'true' sense. All the things people perceive as being spiritual are just psychological in nature, primarily emotional.

naijadeyhia, thanks for sharing your experience.

The feeling you described as "electricity" is best described as a tingling sensation. People often feel it when they listen to really moving music or watch powerful scenes in movies or when they orgasm or when something really scares them. It's associated with intense emotional states. You reacted to it in the way that you did probably because you interpreted it as a sign that the Holy Spirit was literally touching you all over.

What was your pastor doing during the 2 hours that you were lying on the floor, speaking in tongues? Weren't you disturbing the service? Also, why did the pastor have to direct the Holy Spirit to release you before you stopped? Didn't the Holy Spirit know that it was time to stop?

Not speaking in tongues. He would be able to speak and understand any language spoken to him during the exorcism

Can you give an example of a time when you experienced such? If not, what leads you to believe that it has ever happened?

Christianity Etc › Re: Interpretation Of Tongues Spoken In "Way Maker" By Sinach by Seun(mod): 4:09pm On Nov 29, 2016

I used to speak in tongues, and I can probably still do it, even though I've been an atheist since before I started Nairaland:

Seun:
When I gave my life to Christ at Foursquare Gospel Church, I was in JSS 1. After we said the sinner's prayer, our Sunday School teacher tried to get us baptised in the Holy Spirit. I was waiting for the Holy Spirit to descend on me and make me speak in tongues, but I didn't feel anything. Most of the girls started speaking in tongues, but I got nothing. I earnestly and sincerely ask God for it, but nothing happened.

When I got to Ife and started attending ECU, the fellowship my parents attended, we had to take a membership class and my teacher and his best friend also tried to get me baptised in the Holy Spirit to no avail. I remember them taking me to the sports center and praying with me and urging me to speak. I patiently waited for the Holy Spirit to descend on me but nothing happened. Then they had to explain that speaking in tongues is by faith. God supplies the word, and we speak them out, they said. To me it sounded as if they were encouraging me to fake it, and suggesting that everyone fakes it, but I just couldn't accept that. I wanted to experience it genuinely, like the apostles did in the bible.

So one day, as I was praying very intensely in my room, I felt a subtle urge to start saying some nonsense words that came to my mind, and I did. And once I started, I found that new words came to my mind and I could continue speaking them. That's how I started speaking in tongues. In my fellowship, it was common for the pastors to ask everyone to start speaking in tongues during worship; now I could join in! But it was also a bit of a disappointment because the experience was emotional, not supernatural. The Holy Spirit didn't take over my body.

When I was re-watching Sinach's video to transcribe her tongues, I actually felt the urge to speak in tongues again. I think listening to the beautiful way she sang the tongues triggered something in me. I bet I can still speak in tongues today if I choose to succumb to the feeling.

Thank you for admitting that your experience was emotional and not spiritual

Correction: I didn't say it was "not spiritual". I said it was not supernatural. It was as spiritual as any actual religious experience.

The video suggests that some Christians do not consciously concoct nonsense words when they speak in tongues. For those Christians, the tongues come from their subconscious minds while they are emotionally aroused. Those Christians are under a genuine and honest delusion.

I don't believe that this has ever happened. You could be falsely accused of having transformed, and many people would stupidly believe it.

This happened last month. Its not a strange phenomenon. It has to do with your subconscious taking over for a while. There are several cases of similar incidents. If this were Nigeria and it happened in a church we wouldn't hear the end of it.

I have watched a witch climb an electric power line to the top and come back down in the ancient city of Benin without electrocution.

Electrical technicians climb electric power lines all the time without electrocution. The key is to have the power switched off before climbing it. undecided

The palm tree stuff? Songs of solomon

I thought u would say something abt maybe Jesus or Daniel or Elijah or some story in d bible...

Pls, prove me wrong and tell me there's more, than just that Romantic book

The people who wrote the bible believed in so many things that don't exist, such as God, angels, satan, demons, and miracles. Most books, chapters and verses are full of references to these imaginary things. That makes it hard to find a significant portion of the bible that is all true.

Thanks. Engaging you isn't difficult, just pointless, like prayer. Even if you become an atheist, you'll be a lying atheist, so what's the point?

It is a fact, as I said, that most bible scholars believe that the story of Exodus is a work of fiction. Any honest google search will show this.

It is a fact that most bible scholars believe that the story of Exodus is fiction. Even your cherry-picked article mentions two scholars who do.

Any story you don't understand is regarded as fiction

Any reference to things that don't exist is fiction. Any story that bible scholars don't believe to have actually happened is fiction. For example. most bible scholars believe the story of exodus is fictional. Upon reflection, this is obvious. All those mighty signs couldn't have happened.

So please, i would like to know from u sir Seun, which part of d bible is true to you.

This was more difficult than I expected. Most truths in the bible are mixed up with untruths and fiction. I guess Songs of Solomon is mostly true.

Due to the religious diversity of the Nairaland community, it's impossible to come up with policies that will make everyone happy. We can't give everyone what they want, even if we try, because some people want the opposite of what some other people want. We do not seek to favour or help or disfavour or harm any religion; our priority is the Nairaland community as a whole - what's best for Nairalanders as a group. If you have complaints about our policies, or questions about why we're doing this or that, please send your complaints to the supermods via the home page. We'll respond to your complaints as quickly as we can and update the section with the answers to your frequently asked questions.
