Stop confusing yourself. Tongues as used in the Bible means languages, not gibberish you utter.
What did God say to Israel in Deuteronomy 28:49? ...'The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose TONGUE thou shalt not understand.'...
Now we know that "tongues" in the Old Testament meant language. So God was basically saying that He would bring a nation against them whose LANGUAGE they would not understand. This also applies to
And look at what Paul said on in this chapter:
1 Corinthians 14:18 .....'I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.'
We know that Paul could speak in a number of different languages of the earth. He wasn't speaking in ecstatic tongues like many Christians do today, but simply different languages of the earth.
So the argument of drunkeness does not hold water. Our God is not a God of confusion.
He gave the disciples the gifts to speak in different languages for the sake of the gospel.
Now, what purpose does uttering unintelligle sounds serves for the glorification of God if unbelievers think you are mad? None.

no need for confusion my friend...on the deutoronomy stuff.. what was the end result..was it for edification or what? but praying/speaking in tongues edifies and builds me up spiritually. furthermore how can merely speaking a language edify and build me up? It must be something beyond mere language.

infact check the greek word for "new tongues" which Christ said in mk 16.


marvellous, before vs 18, in v2 paul said that what he spoke more than them all cannot be understood by NO BODY but God because paul was speaking mysteries.

granted one can speak in tongues to preach the gospel but speaking in tongues one can edify and build one self spiritually.

now remember somethings of God are intelligently known but there things which are unintelligent to the human mind and speaking in tongues is one of such.

ernieboy:
those gangs and rituals are mainly made up if Hispanic or south americans I.e. Latinos. Latinos are like blacks when it comes to juju and superstition, intact many Latinos worship the same juju u find in many African societies. this is not to say that whites don't engage in such practise but it is mainly dominates by Latinos and blacks.

in summary whites blacks latinos all do ritual killings no matter the volume of sacrifice...the kwesion na if that day comes how would you handle it?

Sylvarresta:
Pls, be vigilant now.
If you see anybody with rope or insecticide .....mumbling something like.
" Referee"
" Bashuayi"
" 2 red cards"
" common Burnley "
" a whole Chelsea "
" Fuckin Cahil"
" Morata-bench.
" Mumu conte"

Moving into an uncompleted building.
Pls, call the Police...... 911.

lol its well

freshest4live:
To fight against this, wouldn't it be better to crackdown on all traditional juju priests? Because so long as people believe in some of them and their doctrines, it could be problematic, this is why we hardly hear of such in other parts of the world except Africa. Aren't we too traditional and diabolical in Africa?

haha you think the whites dont do ritial killing...de there de deceive yourself... check this out and you would know that no be only black man

lol before you claim it was in the distant past... it all occured in 2017 in our hitech era read up

Souljeezy:
ogaa...
speaking in tongues is speaking in other language other than urs...
wat people do today is speak gibberish..speaking in teeth is wat we hear dis days��

dont be prejudice. okay if its known other language ... why did paul make this statement in 1 cor 14:2

For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands; he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit.

granted their is speaking in tongues that may be understood by men whichis what you advocating HOWEVER there is another SIT that is not understood by man but God...

otr1:
Read Acts 2:1-11 and you will realize that the biblical speaking in tongues is the gift of suddenly speaking fluently in a different language that people can understand, not gibberish that even the speakers don't understand as we have today.

v6 states this

When this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

contrast it with this v13

But others jeered at the speakers, saying, “They are drunk on new wine!”

it means that yes some heard but not all heard but said they were drunk becauseto such they spoke gibberish..besides do you notice thatat the same time all people present heard their language... not that they finish one language then stop then start the next language ..no it was simultenously done

ehimeayeni:
When you speak in tongues it's not for anybody to understand because it's not man like yourself that will answer your prayers. It's God that understands that will answer your prayers. If you want to speak so that people will understand then pray to men

you blessed fellow god...

muller101:
Another trash. Keep deceiving yourself

oh no ... keep remaining ignorant... and deceived by the "god of this world"

0b100100111:


It's outright madness and don't glorify it with "Social"

religion that tries to seek god YES. when for a fact God sought and made gods from fallen men through the redemption of Christ.

otr1:
The issue of speaking in tongues as described in the Bible is the ability to communicate in different languages, and not gibberishes we hear in Churches today. How else do you think the Apostles were able to spread the gospel to places where the people speak different languages if not the gifts they received at Pentecost?

to your mind yes...its gibberish but not the spirit man

0b100100111:




It shall never be well the first man that imported religion into Africa.


Even a drunkard and hard-drug addict speak in tongues!

i condemn and judge that words above and pronounce death to it but speak life to who ever believes in the exalted One Jesus Christ...

Souljeezy:
Trash!!!
de nonsense people do today in de name of speaking in tongues..
repeatedly saying same thing every tym dey pray..
i can even recite wat my neighbor calls "speaking in tongue" wen she prays at night..

A friend of mine was invited to Christ embassy for d first tym.they preached.He "repented".
In follow-up fellowship he had wit em, they were forcing him nd other newcomers to speak in tongues to prove they were really born-again..
As others started sayin trash, he had to come up wit something to say so as nt to look strange or possessed..he started calling his granddad's name repeatedly.


speaking in tongues is a gift,the ability to speak other languages when truly filled with the holy spirit..so is interpretation of what is being said...
its not a must dat EVERY believer should speak in tongues.

its trash because you deceived its so...smh

DrGraveYardz:
But the speaking in tongues we get to see today is nothing but a repetition of the same sounds nobody understands. Speaking in tongues should be of languages that other people can understand or relate to. Every Tom, Dick and Harry utter unreasonable sounds are say they are speaking in tongues.

languages you dont understand are what...plain gibberish but to the ONE listening it makes sense

Nigeriadondie:
Tongues speaking was a gift of d holy spirit which enabled early christians back then to preach in a language(tongue) other than their own.

Before the birth of christianity, God had a covenant relationship with man but that was to change as the old Law was to be replaced with the new law enacted by d blood of Jesus and henwas no longer dealing with humans on d basis of the old law but thru d newly formed christian congregation after Christ's death and ressurection. To convince many that the congregation had His backing, he uses gifts of d spirit such as tongues- 1 Corinthians 14:22.

The gift of speaking served another purpose. During the time of Jesus there was no printing and broadcasting to relay messages to a mass audience as we ve now. Also, there was d issue of language barrier which wud hamper d spread of d gospel of God's will and purpose. To overcome these challenges, tongues speaking filled that need.

Please open ur Bible to read Acts 2:1-11 but with emphasis on verses 6-11 where you wud observe that the tongues spoken where in d real sense of it real languages that were understood by other people who spoke the language not some senseless and meaningless words spoken by ALL tongues speaking pentecostal churches. That way, people cud hear the message of God in their own native language. If u read Acts2:41 u would see that d result of tongues speaking was the 3,000 converts who would now carry witj them to whereever they went the message of goodnews or gospel fulfilling what Christ said in Acts1:8 and what Paul said in Colossians 1:23.

Again, lets examine tongue speaking in the time of early christians and the ones of our time which for me is mere rambling of meaningless words which is tantamount to noise which I recall in my High school class is an unpleasant noise.
Read 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 and 27-31 with emphasis on verse 30.
Read also 1 Corinthians 14:5-33,40 but lay emphasis on 5,11,12,13,19,26-28,31,33,40.
You would realise that when tongues are spoken then it must be interpreted. If no interpretation the tongue speaker has achieved nothing.
Also in verse 31, people cant speak in tongues simultaneously (at the same time) it would make d place rowdy/noisy/disorderly/chaotic as the gathering of barbarians. And the God true christians worship is a God or order as verse 33 shows and so christians must worship God in an orderly manner as verse 40 shows. Not the simultaneous noise making of all in the pentecostal churches we see today, people rambling making noise uttering words they nor their listeners understand and as such cannot interpret what the blabbed which is required.

Now in our time, we ve a well developed printing and broadcasting technology that has overcome the language barrier. The spread of d goodnews is no longer impeded by language barrier as the Bible is now printed in all the living languages spoken today. We even have d Braille for the blind and some bibles have sign language for d deaf. Beinh an ardent admirer of Jehovah's Witnesses the have their publications in about 800 languanges and have a mobile application called "JW LIBRARY" in about 800 languages. If u doubt me u can download it and u wud be amazed at its unique features. Even their website www.jw.org is in many languages as well so making tongues speaking obsolete.
Also , they ve many missionaries who ve taken up the challenge of leaening bew languages so they could reach people who speak that language with d gospel.

As Paul said in 1Corinthians 13:1-13, the gifts of speaking in tongues and other gifts of d holy spirit would pass away with time. This is because as d christian congregation was still in its baby or infant stage, extraordinary gifts of the spirit was needed to convince people of God's approval of the christian congregation but as time went by and it grew beyond the babe stage, the traits of babes has to be put way and as such these gifts are no longer required. They ve outlived their purpose.

Hence, we should not be arried away with all these fake pentecostal churches. Look at what d Bible says Matthew 7:21-23, 2Thessolonians 2:8-10

my question to you...do you have the same salvation and Holy Spirit as them that spoke in tongues in the past?

hopefulLandlord:

Your views doesn't change who he is and who he will always be. He is God. Might God

gods have allowed themselves to be deceived and abused by the god of this world..who was spoiled by the Exalted One Jesus...and the deceiver is using the delegated power of the ignorant ones like you to cause the havoc you are blamming the Mighty Creator...Who is blessed forever

AwesomeDuru:
Fools. Religious retards. With your spineless, cowardly Non Mighty God.

Brownbarbie97:

internationalman:
And ur great mind also include u calling someone Satan?

the one that made the deceitive statement that you post... not you

Brownbarbie97:
The white man imposed religion(Christianity) on us to make us subservient, docile and "more tolerable" and it worked.
Now I'm a Christian,don't get me wrong but Christianity and religion as a whole is one of the reasons Africa is as backward as it is because Africans being the highly superstitious beings that we are over abuse these religions which is why we can't think and act but pray to our God to solve even the slightest problems.
Now back to the topic,as holy as he was,the name "JESUS" is really just a name which is why so many Latin Americans and the rest bear that name.They see nothing wrong in giving their kids such names but over here where we are so religiously inclined it is perceived as a taboo. These pple that brought us religion are more liberal and neutral about it than we the recipients.
Talk about being more holy than the pope,ha!

i dislie the saying white man is africa's reason for backwardness. stop using what the whiteman has imposed on you such as te internet ...blaming instead of using your God given brain to cause growth...keep living in the past...by disconnecting from the internet....

internationalman:
And yet in Africa they say the name we bear has influence on our future turn out. The irony now is that despite this believe nobody seems to b naming their children Jesus.
Africa is a confused continent.

get behind me satan...africa is blessd with great minds ... our priorityis set...in Jesus Name

hopefulLandlord:
because Jesus story is a fairytale

How does one know his/her god exists. Because he came down and told you face to face? No
Because if you act in a good way only good things will happen to you? No

Because if you obey certain rules that he hands down and believe in him fully that you will lead a great life and be content? No

How about the fact that you were genetically born of another human and you will live you life until you die whether you believe in a deity or you don't. Sounds like reality to me. Leave out all the gobbledygook and nothing changes. Religious belief is an opiate that makes you think you belong to a group and that you have a deity which will help you live your life. That might be true if all those who don't believe in your deity couldn't live their life in the same way. It just proves that believing in a deity is superfluous in how one lives their life and how one's life is effected by the randomness that is life on Earth.

People "know" their god is real the exact same way children know that Santa is real. They are told it is real by people they trust.

The only fundamental difference between a belief in god(s) and in Santa is that the former is often reinforced for decades (Churches, Schools via crk, family) while the latter is not.

AND DA FOOOL SAYS THERE IS NO GOD

Teaching Methods in UK Universities
Teaching methods and study skills vary depending on the course and university you choose.

Here is a short international student guide to studying in the UK.

Lectures: these large classes usually last for one hour. A lecturer or tutor will guide you through the subject and introduce you to new concepts and theories.

Seminars and tutorials: in these small classes, tutors will encourage you to debate and discuss a specific topic or piece of work. You will often be asked to prepare presentations and ideas for the session. Tutorials also provide you with the chance to ask questions and receive feedback about your work.

Practical work: many courses in law, the arts and sciences will include practical workshops where you can develop your practical skills.

Workplace training: some courses will give you a practical experience within a working environment under the supervision of experienced staff. "Sandwich" courses include a full year's work placement in full-time employment as part of the course.

In addition to these study methods, you will be expected to conduct your own independent study and research.
